Good article!

Great game indeed

it not a direct prequel. the settings and characters may seem like they could parallel but theres no true direct connection

And now to MGS4... lol

"Worthy of the Hype."

Not a bad decent game.

Yes, it was stated that SotC was a prequel "sort-of" to ICO.  The soundtrack of SotC is what did it for me.  That was truely epic.

psn id: gingo... i've always been meaning to pick this up since the day it was released but some one reason or another decided against but after this great write up i think i might give it a try becasue it sounds really epic for a ps2 game

Extremely good article and nice statement by Thorzilla.

I did find the camera a little on the slow/confuddled side but it really didn't detract that much from the game & as stated, it did add a little measure of difficulty.

What lowered the game slightly for me was lack of interaction. Yes, the game was all about the Titans and they were absolutely, undeniably and fantastically created. But there was so little in these massive and very nice environments which made it so empty. There was very little to interact with, where as ICO at least had more puzzles and enemies.

I can only hope that their next title will combine the best from both of these games....now that would be something that (IMO) would never be surpassed for countless years and would make it something more than special in the history of gaming.

yeah i played this game again on the ps3 and it was flawless gameplay/framerate compared to the ps2. I cant wait until the next installment of this concept

this game was soooooooo CRAP my friend forxed it onto to me to try to show me the beauty of it but was far to tedious for me

Wow it looks awsome.

The graphics look better than some ps3 games, by the gamepleay i ahve seened.

I always want to rent it but i just chose a game i knew that would be fun.

But now i am gonna rent this fo sure.

I might pick this up, i missed it last gen.

Brilliant Dave! Great game, I agree. BTW I'm glad to be quoted in the article =D

I think I'm the only person who thought this game was desolate and boring....travel forever (in a baren land) to find a big monster? sounds cool....but I feel something was missing...like the "game" in between bosses.....

they need to make a new one that is a ps3 exclusive

This game is simply a master-piece.It was one of my best gaming experience playing through the game. It is very attaching and keeps you always focused on your main objectives; killing each and everyone of the colossus because you want to save a loved one.Very few games these days use love as one of the main themes in the game.

I was very happy with the way the ICO Team used this theme and we all know that LOVE is one of the pillars of the world. I am looking forward to their next project.

I could "wander", hope that someone gets that pun, that world all day just exploring and hunting lizards. The tie in with Ico and the greatest cinamatography in a game, bar none, leaves you with such a sense of awe. Can't wait for their first game on the PS3!!!!

this game is give me new feeling and it's really good game if anyone haven't played yet i recommend you to play it and even some guys selling their ps2 and bought ps3 bbut ps3 can play ps2 games so go for it guys xD

one of my favorite games of all time

Will there be a part three?

Total agreement. This is a title that shows what potential even the PS2 could build on. If they can make a gameonl 25% better than this on PS3 they will have made a system seller. and I have faith that ICO team is up to it!

I played the demo...once, that's really about all it was worth.

@ The Master...your comment was worth less then. As for the game it was brilliant, the graphics and lighting were brilliant for PS2

The game looked great, however it was just one boss battle after another.  A large number of people liked that concept.  I felt it meant that the main portion of the game was missing.  For instance, the entire world of SotC is completely desolate except for a couple of gulls and these huge monsters.  Where is all the wildlife?  I guess it was just not my type of game.

This game is a technical masterpiece.

@gingo: if you never played this game, run to get it. It will make you eager for information about the Team ICO project on the PS3.

@ kingiceeater, the beauty of the game was in figuring out how to take down each of the colossi.  It is similar to playing a Zelda game, but with only the boss fights.  It may have been on the short side, but it was an unforgettable experience.

Great article Dave, love it :D Game is amazing

Man, I hot SotC the second it dropped and it has got to be one of my fav of all time games. It is an astoundly artistic and moving piece. Totally breaks teh boundries of what a game can make you feel!

good article

about a great game

For me, the defining moment of this generation so far is Call of Duty 4. The online multiplayer with it's RPG style levelling has made a game which stands out as much on this generation as Goldeneye on N64, Metal Gear Solid on PSone. It plays so well, and that's the important thing. I actually think the best games of this generation so far have been multi- platform- GTA 4, Oblivion, COD4. Kind of negates the argument about which system is best, the games are of the same standard on both.
