I did a search to see if this game has been discussed, and it doesn't look like it. The ship date is tomorrow. Anyone else looking forward to this game?



1UP.com just had a great, week long feature about the game. If you're interested make sure to check it out.

i played a demo of this game and it was incredible. cant wait for it.

This game snuck up on me. I want it, but I'll wait for some reviews first.

Yes.

I played Ico and loved it, so I will play this for sure. I read a review on Gamespot.com last night, and they gave it high marks. They only had a few minor complaints (ocassional framerate drop, minor camera issues during certain battles), but overall, they seemed to be very high on the game.

IGN thinks very highly of it too: Review

Looks like I'm definately grabbing it now.

Unfortunately, I have ICO but I was never able to get my PS2 to read the disc. Someday I'll get to play it in a PStwo or a PS3.

Looks pretty cool...but d'ya think it can hold a candle to Zelda?

Nothing can. I enjoy a nice (true) adventure game, like Zelda, so I'll probably enjoy this.

Not really all that similar to Zelda. Closer to those old school adventure games like Out of This World or Flashback. Very puzzle/ trial and error oriented.

It looks amazing

i'll give it a go.

looks interesting and unique enough to garner my attention for a while.

this game is the SHIT! I played the demo a bunch at work. I'd buy it if I wasn't so broke ass. Perhaps i'll just check it out.

It certainly looks great but it seems more like a rental based on its lack of replay value.

Edit: after reading IGN's review, nevermind. It's on my to-buy list.

How long is it supposed to take to beat? In terms of hours of gameplay?

I got Shadow last night. I really like it but Ico is one of my favorite games so it's no surprise

Oh man, this game is amazing.

I'm fighting this little fella right now:

I just bought this game last night. Only played it for a few short minutes to see what it looked like. I can't wait to dive in to this world, the game looks amazing.

Nice.

A good game, but I am disappointed. The world is so empty. If there were some NPC's, regular baddies, and some quests this game would have been a whole lot better. It's search for a Colossus, kill a Colossus, repeat. I was expecting more, especially this late in a console's lifecycle.

If you weren't expecting that, you did not read any of the reviews.

I think the isolation factor is very intentional. At least it was in ICO. That game made you feel like you were the only person in the world. It feels really wierd to play a game like that, but it's a nice break-up from all the "shoot everything" motif that the majority of games employ these days.
