After seeing the E3 trailer for The Last Guardian, I decided that I needed to play the team's previous two games. I had always wanted to play Shadow of the Colossus, but I had only been marginally interested in Ico. from Amazon.com Like it's perhaps better-known successor Shadow of the Collosus, Ico is 1st of all, amazingly beautiful. If all you did in this game was walk around and look at the detailed and captivating scenery, it would be worth it. from Amazon.com This is a puzzle/adventure game with a few key differences. How many times in other games have you been able to quickly spot an item you can interact with because it doesn't blend in with the scenery? Not in Ico, the environment all looks consistent. How many games plaster icons, bars and scores in a head-up display over the scenery? from Amazon.com I always read the "best games of all time" lists on gaming sites through the years, and ICO always shows up near the top of every list. I finally decided to get it and try it out. from Amazon.com If you ever find the opportunity to buy this game, you should certainly do so. ICO provides a unique and unparalleled gameplay experience all wrapped up in a moody and atmospheric setting. Here's basically how it works: you play as a young, horned boy named Ico. from Amazon.com ICO is an absolutely brilliant, gem of a game. I won't give away the ending, but it has an amazing, yet simple twist of fate. from Amazon.com It simply OWNS the genre called adventure. I would wonder if the guy that calls this game a rehash of Tomb Raider actually played this game through. I have played Tomb Raider and I don't think that it is anything at all close to ICO. It's like comparing a Mercedes with a Hyundai. from Amazon.com Ico has some of the most atmospheric music and level designs out of any game ever produced for a console. It is a fairy tale meant to enchant (semi-)grown-ups. from Amazon.com I bought the Official Playstation Monthly for "OPM's Essential 100: PS1, PS2, and PSP Games You Must Play Before You Die" list. Ico caught my eye since "for many, Ico was "the first videogame to be considered 'art'" and "if you have not at least tried this game, you are missing out on one of the most moving experiences in videogames". from Amazon.com So they brought it back to basics, stripped everything that didn't need to be there and just made quick, catchy songs and have since been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That band was the Ramones. I bring them up because ICO is the video game equivalent of the Ramones. In the age of GTA, it seems like almost every video game tries to cram in as much content as possible, but in most cases this added content is a bore to play and is only there to increase game length. from Amazon.com
