I've been looking for some "older" PS2 games and I saw a lot of people putting a good word on ICO...

What do you say ? Is it worth looking for ?? I'm not too picky... open your hearts

Ico is a tough game to try and recommend. The game is really good but it is an acquired taste like chocolate and cheese sandwiches. Some people like them and rave on about them and others don't get them, but if you never try then you won't know which side of the fence your on. Give it a try first to see if you like it before deciding.(Ico that is)

BTW I like chocolate(kit kat) and cheese sandwiches. It just seems like a good combo. Thanks Collin "Funky" Miller for the idea!!!

Ico was Awesome!
I say was as the graphics now are outdated similar to yorda's AI.

Im still holding on to my mint copy as i absolutely lve it, but as mentioned above its hard to recomend. If you were blown away by shadow of the colossus certainly get ICO but if ya couldent apreciate SOTC youcertainly wont like ICO

I don't remember Ico getting mixed reviews. It gained critical acclaim and won awards.

Yeah, if you are not sure, I am not sure this is a game I would pick up especially since its hard to find and somewhat expensive. Go try Shadow of the Colossus, if you like that, go with ICO.

I played  Shadow of the colosus and wanted to try out a similar game.....after reading a few coments and reviews mentioning ICO , I decided to get it. Its not exactly like shadow of the colosus. Nevertheless the game is pretty good if you like puzzles and stuff.....I dont know how but it manages not to get dull...i mean its just you a girl and a bunch of shadow creatures...at least as far as i have played but i havent gotten bored...and some of the puzzles will have you wondering for a while what the heck your supposed to do....if you like puzzles get this..

Chococheese sandwiches?????? hummmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ever tried Strawberry n pickles................

I always remember seeing and hearing good things about Ico, but it never really occurred to me to buy it, like many others.

Then SotC came along, same thing happened, I liked the look of it but never really thought about buying it until recently, I asked a few questions about it and found about it being a prequel to Ico.

I'm a gamer that will try anything, I don't mind the unusual stuff that casuals wont touch with a pole, so I thought if I cold get into Ico I will probably experience the magic that so many people talk about.

So I bought them both and actually started Ico first, and wow what a game it turned out to be, for me its one of those games you have a special place for, and would play over and over.

Like the previous posters said it's a hard game to recommend, If you have the patients to try something different and you can appreciate the uniqueness of Ico, you would not regret buying it.

I recommend it. It is full of great puzzles and the story is nice. The fighting feels kinda thrown in though.

YES, buy it now. I can't recommend this game highly enough. I guarantee you will never have played anything like it, the emotions it generates, the beautiful visuals, the soundtrack. You must play this game.

O MY GAWD YES!!!
This is in my top 5 favorite games of all time.
This game moved me, it was just INCREDIBLE.
Words cannot describe how beautiful this game is.
Get ICO now!
And then get shadow of the collossus. You will have best luck calling around your local used game stores, if not buy it on ebay.

I actually like the U.S. cover better.  I'm just glad I bought it right when it came out though...as I haven't seen used/new(obviously) in a really long time.  Its still one of the most amazing games I've played on ANY console, with graphics that I'd take over almost any new x360 or ps3 game out now...
