Beat Ico a second time. =) |

Just as awesome. Did it much quicker this time. 3 hours to the last save couch who by the way is the best character in the game. They should make a sequel to Ico titled Save Couch. Game of All Time. Anyway, I found the mace this time which made punishing the shadow creatures much easier.
So I've beat it in about 3 hours and 30 minutes I'd say. I'm sure others have done it faster and I'd love to see a speed run although rushing through kind of defeats the purpose of the game. My first 7 hour venture through the game had me stopping and admiring the view several times. I am utterly amazed that this is a 2001 PS2 game. They were really pumping out a lot of this machine for back then. It just amazes me. I'm confused because the game is just so perfect and this was back in 2001 when I remember most PS2 games sucking ass. I guess it took them a year or so to start pumping out quality titles like GTAIII, MGS2, Klonoa 2, Jak and Daxter, FFX, and ICO. The only thing that this game really needs is higher resolution textures and a higher resolution display and you could record a casual perfect play through this game on a plasma screen and hang that on the wall and call it moving art. If I had the money to burn I'd do it.
If they were to remake this game for the PS3 I would definitely buy a PS3 just for it. No questions asked. It's that good that I'd willingly go through 599 yu es dollars and giant enemy crabs for it. Totally.
Also what's awesome is that through wiki I've discovered that Shadow of the Colossus is very much related to ICO which means I will have to play it.

Quote:
March 9, 2006, Fumito Ueda, the creator and lead designer of both games confirmed that Shadow of the Colossus is indeed directly connected to Ico and that both take place in the same universe. He also confirmed that Shadow of the Colossus is a prequel to Ico.

Oh and that there's a ICO novel out there. I hope it's been translated by a fan out there. I'd really like to read it.
| Currently Playing: well was playing a second go through Ico. =) |
