    Default Ico

    sharky is making me play Ico. I haven't tried it yet and I'm super nervous. Starting it tonight or tomorrow

    Anyone played this game? Any tips? What can I expect?

    Not a lot of story, very charming. It's kind of a puzzle game, light action game. It loves its minimalism and style. Just watch out for the girl and keep an eye on the shadow buggers and enjoy. I don't recall getting stuck very frequently, if ever. So if I ever was stuck I don't think it took all that long for me to figure out. And the save system is very cute, if you don't like anything else about the game, I have a feeling you will find that adorable

    Are you going retro and playing it on PS2 or getting the new one on PS3? I've been super tempted for a long time to get the PS3 re-release. Still want it pretty badly. Someday. And then I'll replay it. But as it is, I haven't touched the game since I beat it after it first came out. So it's been years. So I can't really help out on any specific situation or anything. I just have fond memories. Don't be too nervous. It's just a game where it's fun to walk around as a couple of kids and explore the beautiful scenery, and every once in a while you have to whack away shadow things from Kingdom Hearts with a little wooden stick :P

    Thanky :3

    We have the PS2 disc, so I'm guessing we're going with that!

    I really enjoyed Ico. But not too much to add on to what Vyk has already said. Just enjoy it! :}

    I never played this on PS2. When there was so much hype around the ICO remaster on PS3 I jumped on the band wagon but was left pretty disappointed. It didn't hold my interest for long.

    It's a unique game, I'll give it that. There really is nothing else out there like it.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    What, really? I've never played it, but I know enough about it. It's supposed to be the (spiritual?) sequel of Shadow of the Colossus.

    Yes really. In 2001 I didn't have a computer with internet. I didn't have friends who played the game. I didn't see a single advertisement for it on my TV. Therefore, I have never heard of it until now. I'm only vaguely familiar with Shadow of the Colossus. And after I got internet it never came up in conversation until now. There was also a little matter concerning a terrorist attack and in-coming war.

    And Buffy was moving to UPN...

    Ico predates Shadow of the Colossus, so switch that round and you've got it.

    It's spoilerific, but basically the end of Shadow of Colosus indicates that it takes place for, and sets the groundwork for, Ico.

    It came out later, but it's considered the prequel.

    Ah. Misread. Had in my mind spiritual successor not sequel.

    I blame 1am and illness.

    Ah, I thought it was the sequel. I didn't realize it was the prequel, I just knew they were related.

    I really need to beat Shadow of the Colossus one of these days. Ico is up there as one of my favorite games. It has issues, but I really like the story it conveys
