in this ICO 2 game *and if youve never played ICO you have got to find it and enjoy it. its amazing* you play a grown up version of ICO, who has lost his love and in order to reserect her he is ordered to find, fight and finish off *the three 'f's' in video gaming LOL* 16 collosii giants.
using only a sword and bow.
when i first picked up this game i was pretty excited due to my love of the original ICO. i actually waited years for this one to come out and i was happy that they did not disappoint.
ok, so roaming around looking for your next boss is sort of a pain but the graffix are really nicely done and the action is quite smooth. i will admit that once in awhile while fighting the camera angle can become a bit troublesome but not to the point that you want to throw your controller through the wall.
this game is absolutely beautiful, creative and imaginative. while looking for your next foe i thought GEEZ will i ever get to this one? and then POW there he is; your mind starts to play. how do i climb him? where are his weak spots?
this game does have something the others do not. it has heart.
the control is wonderful, the scenery fantastic. there are NO glitches. AND you get to find out how ICO came to be *during the end credits*. if you havent played it please give it a shot. it might seem a bit repedative but theres nothing quite like the feeling of taking down the next massive hulk of pissed off foe.
that being said anyone that has already played it and doesnt know, there are unlockables. shoot fruit and lizards and eat them, it will make your grip stronger. finish the game and beat the timed version, and collosii that you beat will give you something in the wading pool at the temple *IE: whistling arrows, a cape of invisability etc etc*.
it isnt easy to beat in timed mode. in fact, its almost impossible.
