ICO who though it was the best sleeper hit

i thought this game waas onre of the best games made but it didnt get the respesct it deserved it had a kick ass sound track and some of the parts were emotional this gamme and final fantasy 7, and 10 were some of the only games that made me cry. i forgot about mgs1 and 2

This game is very good and im glad I got myself a copy, Its not for everybody though. I deffinitly enjoyed it and look foward to any future release by that team. Its a great game and you probably wouldnt go wrong trying it out. 

i have not played ICO yet, i briefly tried SotC, i bought both for basically 20 UK Pounds, i walked/rode around for about an hour and a half on shadow of the collosus and didnt find anything, and was getting rather bored, but i eventually found where i was suppost to go and had one of what is probably the best boss fights ever in a game.

still not played it past the first collosus though, im kind of hoping sony will release a firmware update for the ps3 that allows upscaling of ps2 games to 720p/1080i/1080p, thats why im holding back finnishing my ps2 games collection.

my ps2 games currently run at 576p, but they still look pretty ugly, god of war/god of war 2 looked allright, id rather play them rendered at higher resolution though, shouldnt be that hard to program the software emulation to do that.

i mean, i can play playstation 1 games at hi def resolution via emulation on my pc,sony can program this feature easy, im more interested in upscaling for ps1/2 games than any other feature for the ps3, i dont know if it was ever confirmed though.

dvd upscaling isnt a big deal for me as the movie can only really show at whatever resolution it was encoded at but games can be rendered at higher resolution than what they were on the ps2, granted the textures will look rather poor, but it will elimiate alot of jaggies and the games will look a hell of alot sharper.

meh, it was decent SOTC is where it's at

I'm sorry but ICO is the most overrated "sleeper" I've ever played. I just don't get why everybody gushes all over this game. But thats just my opinion.Naseru

got to agree.. sure the graphics where nice.. but the art style was just ..wel .. not my style.

Muah it was just not my game i guess.

The game was A1 all the way. I got so deep into the game, it was just an amazing game thats up there with ZELDA. For me its a 10/10 game...

It was a sleeper critical hit, but not a sleeper commercial hit.

Because not only is it a great game to play it is also a stunning game to look at...even now. I finsihed recently for the first time playing it through on my PS3. Fantastic game and SOTC was damn fine too ^_^

Ade.

ICO is a great game, but my favorite sleeper hit would have to be Ring of Red. It got a lot less press coverage, but still got good reviews. Ico eventually got the attention it deserves, but Ring of Red has yet to.

its just a simply, awesome puzzel game! I remember, 1st time through it took me about 25 hrs to complete... second time through it took me 2 hrs . Wow, what a difference!!!

Oompah!

TEAM ICO!!!

Look out for them in the future.  I have a feeling their games are gonna be revolutionary.  IMO 

ico? sotc?

elaborate?

Also, even though in ICO and Shadow of the Colossus there are lack of cut-scenes but yet it is as emotional as any game fill with cut-scenes (e.g. MGS series). Both are very unique games indeed. Thomas-Crown

bravo man bravo 

ico was a game that came out in early 2000 it was considered one of the most underrated but one of the most loved ps2 games ever released. sotc is: shadow of the collousous that was kind of a prequal to ico that one kind of out their more then ico because they put more addvertisment out for it either way they were some of the best games out on the ps2. istayonfireboy
