Heh. Discovering this thread has prompted me to go to my local GameCrazy, the only game store tangibly close to where I can take a busline to, and pick up this title. Got it used for $10 bucks. Not too shabby! I'm only about 40 minutes in, but I'm already liking it. FFXII, TP... this is an interesting haitus from the two, to say the least. I like this because it doesn't have a HUD, which surprisingly increases the immersion factor. I would like to think any person including the video game inept could pick up this game and play it. Will post a few more times about what I think about this title when I progress further.

Spoiler:

When I first died at the shadow guy, when he bursted a dark rift at me after he sucked the white glowy girl through the whole, that was when I knew this game was good. Haha, I was just like "holy shit, did he just burn me to a crisp?"

This is a valid bump, mind you. Four days later I completed this game. My finish time is about 9 hours and 30 minutes. I, like many other people couldn't help but admire the scenes in this game. I absolutely abused the movable camera too, that thing rocks. Often I'd feel a little regret to peel myself to advance through a part, because just being there was cool. I completed the game with no help from FAQs, which proved to be only frustrating ONE time, when I first discovered you could pull Yorda up from ledges. Other than that, everything I gradually figured out. Man, Ico sure can leap! He does like, a freakin Mario 64 long jump, imagine Ico yelling "Ya-hoooo!" Heh heh!

I also held Yorda's hand a lot of the time, but sometimes it was nice to just call for her while you're running ahead of her. This may be a given but is the language Ico speaks japanese? Or is his language also unknown.

Also, the "save couch" is a freaking signature key of awesome for this game. Save couch! YEAH!

Great game though. Thanks to this thread I was able to appreciate what is ICO. Now now, who's FTP am I going to be leeching the OST from? =D

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wha! that's an awesome bonus(es). US Version got the shaft there.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
