    I'm highly anticipating it, yes. It looks like a worthy successor to ICO, which is one of the best games there is.

    I don't know. An entire game of only boss battles? I want to see more first.

    The scope and overall look of the game is absolutely amazing. If they make it control well, have a solid framerate, and be of a decent length, it could be one of the most impressive games I've ever seen.

    It looks spectacular and I played ICO and it was awesome so I'm sure this'll rock too. So far it seems near perfect it might be repetitive and maybe short *shrugs* maybe but I'm more than excited. I get a demo and review of it in Offical Playstation Magazine #97 I think. So I'll find out if its good or not soon enough.

    I just hope the makers of the game get more noticed, ICO was one of the best games ive ever played, but it did so little in terms of people buying it, It barely made it into the charts. This thought scared me into thinking that this wouldnt come to UK, it is thankfully. And I hope it really makes the makers stand out of the crowd....

    It's guaranteed to sell better than ICO did because
    • it's getting better press than ICO did, and
    • in all likelihood, its cover art won't be nearly as offensive as ICO's American art was.

    The fact that Ico resembles a poorly-rendered Down syndrome sufferer wearing fake horns probably has something to do with it. And it looks even worse when compared to the original Chirico-esque artwork, which is incredibly beautiful and poignant. All in all, it's regarded as one of the worst covers ever, right down there with the American Mega Man art.

    Funny, The Cover art to the European Ico was beautiful....

    That's because it used the same artwork the Japanese version did.

    The Cards you also got with it were good...

    I didn't like the box either and the Japanese always get the better covers xD The only reason my brother hates ICO is because it sounds stupid on the back "Solve the puzzles and join the tormented souls forever" which does sound pretty stupid imo but no reason to hate the game. I know he would hate it if he played because aside from Tetris he hates any and every kind of puzzle game but still thats moronic (thats a word right? xD) and it is getting alot more press than ICO I'm hoping it gets the publicity it deserves. Does anybody have a link that can show me the Japanese/European cover art?

    It's not entirely boss battles. You explore, do puzzles, and there will also be some elements from platformers. The boss battles themselves are supposed to be amazing. Each boss has different weaknesses and strengths. It won't be like most boss battles where you can hack your way through them. This is from the creators of Ico. Have more faith.
