While Ico may have roots in classic adventure games, it strips away several conventions of the genre and becomes a game unlike any other. GameSpot's Miguel Lopez gives a full run-down on this game that defies description.

    The reviewer (Miguel Lopez) is a good games journalist, and he has a lot of well written old reviews (2000-2002) on Gamespot. I believe he works at Gamespy now. This was a very good review of his, for a terrific game.

    This review was posted just a couple of weeks after 9-11. Must have been surreal, reviewing such a beautiful game at that time.

    @joessj5

    otherway around, a while back the devs stated that Ico is a descendent of the character from SotC

    leehaoyong, I believe the point he's trying to make is, don't expect the combat of the game to be similar or as in depth as those games, remember this was 2001 when those games were all the buzz at the time. Also, iirc he didn't make that comment in his written review, don't judge a games reviewer until you read many of their reviews.

    Solid review, but it seems like the reviewer doesn't care at all.

    Great game, brings back wonderful memories.....but this reviewer is just plain horrible. Monotonous voice, and he seems barely excited. The nail in the coffin is the part when he compares ICO to Devil May Cry. What the !@#$ Making such a statement just proves you have no idea what kind of a game you are assessing here.
