I have heard some complain about the length of the game being only a little more than 8 hours for me the first time through, but I can't even make a complaint there. I would change nothing about this game whatsoever. The length feels 100%... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Playing "Ico" is kind of a Zen-like experience, but it isn't dull. I bought it after overhearing one young guy complain to another that it didn't have enough combat. So I was surprised at how often I had to stay aggressive to keep shadow demons... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Ico is a little underground gem produced form an internal Sony development team. This diamond in the rough was something of a sleeper hit, and it attained such status without resorting to gimmicks (i.e. the new DOA volleyball). The game doesn't... [ Read The Full Review... ]

A lot of people are going to hate me for this, but, I really found this game boring. I can understand how there is a lot to like in this game, but I'm afraid I just couldn't see that. In my opinion, the graphics seemed blured and colorless and... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Blarg	--	9/10/2002
Think prince of persia and the Amiga classic Another world with breathtaking graphics. Very simple gameplay consisting mostly of juming and puzzlesolving. The castle the whole game takes place in is, however, so beautiful and... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		S@uRoN	9	9/8/2002
At first I though this game just looked stupid, and "Just For Kids". But when a friend convinced me to try it out, I found the most compelling and amazing game on PS2 apart from MGS2. From all the other reviews, you already know how... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Cindywho (26 Trusters)	8	8/25/2002
I love this game. It is absolutley amazing. The graphics are top notch and creates the most amazingly beautiful and rustic kind of atmosphere. I have never seen a game with such a realistic scale and sense of open space. The game play... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Sang Nguyen (4 Trusters)	10	8/19/2002
So, what can I say about this game that hasn't already been said? Everything that's been said of course!!! This is the best adventure game I've ever played. No, there isn't some epic adventure that deals with opposing nations. No, you... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Red_XIII_ate_a_Cactuar (10 Trusters)	9	8/14/2002
This game was hard to put down, so I guess it was okay that it's short. One bored Sunday and you're through this thing, so it's better to rent it first before shelling out the $30 - $40 to buy it. It takes a while before any story details are... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		merlin48 (1 Trusters)	10	7/25/2002
I can't say enough about this game. It has simple yet addictive gameplay to go along with some of the most gorgeous, stylish graphics ever seen in a game on any system. It also has a very emotional, compelling story. It also manages to get you... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		-((Wang Broom))- (38 Trusters)	9	7/1/2002
The minute I put it in the Playstation 2, I believed it. The graphics are simply amazing. The horses in the opening scene are just jaw-dropping to see walking through the forest. Not to mention the sound effects were nice also. I... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		-XGP- ABC123DoReMi (68 Trusters)	9	6/20/2002
Ico is one great game. I'm sure many of you heard how short it was and such. But its graphics are really special. They aren't exactly eye-popping, flashy graphics. Rather, they are mundane, and true. The gameplay is also its strong point. ... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Henxs	10	6/16/2002
Amazingly beautiful game with a simple but extremely fun gameplay. It plays similar to the old Tomb Raider games but set within a massive castle. In addition to just jumping and climbing around you also have to protect and guide the girl Yorda. ... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Mark Stone (2 Trusters)	10	6/11/2002
Wow... for only the third time in my gaming reviewer life, does the "perfect" 10 come out. And what a game that gets it... Ico is.. well, it's a game of artistry. That's right.. Ico is not just a game, it's a masterpiece of... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Conlon	8	6/4/2002
What more can I say? Ico was one of my favorite games last year, and it really left a lasting impression on me. This game has aesthetic environments that rival Myst, but this game actually has a plot, and a good one too! Saving the... [ Read The Full Review... ]

i rented this game because i heard it was really short. the games graphics are just beautiful and the control was excellent also but it just wasnt my type of game amybe i should have played it more but i really couldnt get into it.would definitley... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Tony (1 Trusters)	9	4/20/2002
Simply outstanding. While ICO did not achieve the commercial success of most other PS2 titles, that is no reflection on the quality of the title. I'd blame it on poor marketing. You can see the votes this title has received here at... [ Read The Full Review... ]

(this is actually just my review from gamersmark :) ICO By Jeff Ricks Introduction Ico is a young boy with horns that was taken to an enourmous enchanted castle. Your goal is to help him escape. But along... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Mel Perias	9	4/16/2002
Simply amazing... graphics, music, gameplay and story are all outstanding. Was fairly short (took me approx 8 hours) but was worth it. Wish the US version had all the extras the PAL version did (English translation of all symbolic dialogue,... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Grazen (1 Trusters)	9	4/10/2002
This game is different enough to turn it into a new experience, and genre in the videogaming world. It is a slow, thinking game that is deeply relaxing. At the same time there is just the right amount of action and activity to prevent boredom... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Matthew Krenning	10	3/14/2002
A very engageing and simple game. It all comes down to gameplay and nothing else. You need to know how to move your character and two buttons. The visual look is very distinct and polished to where you might confuse the screen with... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Mark W. Bigney (5 Trusters)	9	3/13/2002
Pure art. Not just the graphics, but in terms of design and gameplay as well. Ever play Prince of Persia? ICO is Jordan Mechner's spriritual successor. That, my friends, is high praise enough. The puzzles are exquisite, and I... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		expane (17 Trusters)	9	2/28/2002
Wow what a story, I never thought a simple puzzle/adventure game with no dialogue and no RPG elements could be so fun to play and have such a breathtaking story. The interactions with Jorda and ICO make this game seem... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		deurk	9	2/25/2002
Of course, I won't talk about the perfect graphism which is, for me, not the big part of a game but the animation is FANTASTIC!! It's like to be in front of the first prince of persia for the first time!! The characters are... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Fair and Square (15 Trusters)	9	2/4/2002
One of the most beautiful and immersive games I have ever played. This is a game where it is hard to describe in words. A rather simplistic puzzle game but a game that really gets the player engrossed into the world of Ico. As cliche' as that... [ Read The Full Review... ]
