    Brilliant.

    An 8.5, huh? Ico was one of those games that just sort of snuck in under the radar. But it deserved far more recognition than it got. If it wasn't for the good things I had heard about it, I never would've bothered to... Read Full Review

    ICO is the greatest 'game' I have ever played, and I do not throw that term out lightly. ICO goes beyond games.

    First off, the 9.2 rating I give this game just does not do it justice. This is by far the best game I have ever played. No game has ever made me show emotions, but throughout ICO, you get attached to the characters, eve... Read Full Review

    There should be more games like this. Very fun, mentally challenging, and one of the best storylines in videogames.

    A surprisingly great game. The gameplay is very simple, the graphics fine, but the story is the true star and one of the best on PS2, or any other system. You play as a small child, rescuing a small girl, and yourself, f... Read Full Review

    ICO is a remarkable game that blends conventional game mechanics with brand new ideas to put together a game experience like no other. ICO would be an excellent adventure game, but nothing more, if it had not included t... Read Full Review

    This is one of my all time favorite games, ever! It is very different than other games...one of the first of it's kind. The graphics are amazing. There are great particle effects, and for the time it was released, t... Read Full Review

    In a market where big budget,mediocre titles are being shoved down the throats of the masses, ICO comes along and brings new hope. While it's core gameplay and graphics may not be the most impressive in the world, it ... Read Full Review

    While I was playing this game, my roommate walked in and joked, "oh, it's just like Tomb Raider." Now a gamer with a fragile ego would have said, "no way, this is nothing like Tomb Raider, don't you get it you idiot?" a... Read Full Review
