Ico for PlayStation 2

Pros: Everything that matters.
Cons: I'm not gonna make any "horny" jokes.

I can tell you why Ico is not a runaway success, besides offering up the reason that Sony’s effort to market this game can be described as shamefully nonexistent. The story is less than riveting, the action is far from hardcore, gameplay doesn’t...

Pros: Stunningly beautiful, tricky puzzles.
Cons: Could have used more fighting, I didn't want it to end!

Okay, this is my first game review, so try to be patient! I have always enjoyed video games, and as a gift, my boyfriend recently bought me Ico for the Play Station 2—a little something to keep me entertained while he was working on Soldier of...

Pros: Simple controls and nice puzzles. Some of the most beautiful graphics ever.
Cons: Yorda, if you don't like the idea of guiding an NPC around.

While this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in May wowed people with the promise of new consoles such as the Gamecube, XBox and Game Boy Advance, I was trying to focus my attention on actual software instead. Behold, Ico for the Playstation 2....

Pros: A game which is new and refreshing.
Cons: Once finished its left gathering dust.

Ico - pronounced ee ko - is one of those games that kept a low profile but turned out to be a hidden gem. If it had lasted longer then I would have given it a four of five score. To put it simply, Ico is original. The ideas and gameplay given to...

Pros: The amazing graphics and ambient sounds will suck you into this surreal world.
Cons: Puzzles and/or battles can get a bit repetitive, falling from 50 feet kills you.

Ico, (pronounced e-co) is definitely not for everyone. It's one of those games that come along every now and then, and can't be described in one category. Breaking new grounds and forming new mold is something not every game can do, but...

Pros: Awesome atmosphere
Cons: Want action? It is not here.

I’m a self proclaimed bimbo gamer. No, that would not mean I’m a hot sexy female who has low self esteem about her IQ and plays video games [Heh, you wish] In fact, i’m a hot sexy male who has very poor problem solving skills so puzzle-laden games like ...

Pros: Graphics, gameplay, sound....
Cons: A major lack of story.

I'm very surprised at what Sony has come up with in the past. They've done exceedingly interesting RPG games, they've tinkered with hard and fast driving, and now, their new puzzle-questing adventure is set to show how the standards can be changed for ...

Pros: Beautiful graphics, sounds, interesting game play and characters.
Cons: Short lived wondrous adventure that causes you to ask for more.

The Day of Sacrifice dawned on the village as Ico, a young boy with horns, turned twelve years old. Unfortunately for the young boy, the villagers feared the horns on his head, believing that they were the source of all unwanted spirits and demon to...

Pros: graphics
Cons: everything else, long boring parts

It is very rare, where I’ll give a game lower than three stars, and most people are going to shoot me because I gave ICO two stars. It would have been one, but find out why in the review.

The story line is ok, it’s not the greatest, but an...

Pros: A very compelling game that requires thought to play.
Cons: Short, and perhaps not enough 'action' for some players.

With the latest game console generally introducing the game player to HD graphics and superior sounds, it is often easy to forget that there were games that were already graphically superior with atmospheric sound. While often overlooked and forgotten, ...

Pros: Unequivocally the game of the year. Breathtaking degree of artistic vision, storytelling, and technical quality.
Cons: None.

Summary
I have always disliked reviews that start off with grandiose endorsements. That said, to illuminate the importance of Ico as a milestone in game development, I feel it necessary to begin with some very broad statements. Ico is a...

Pros: Absolutely fluid storytelling and gameplay. An emotional and compelling journey in a puzzle game.
Cons: Slightly annoying camera work.

Puzzle games are hard to dress up. Even the best puzzle games never get the respect or attention they deserve. And while Ico certainly isn't the kind of game everyone imagines when they hear me say puzzle, it's a game more deserving of a second look...

Pros: The graphics, the storyline, the puzzles and the atmosphere oooh... the atmospher.
Cons: Too short to warrant anything above $20

Ico came out during the younger days of the PS2 and got a lot of critical praise, as well as very little public interest. Here's why I think now that time has passed by you should take a look at this underappreciated game now that it is much cheaper as...

Pros: A gaming experience like no other.
Cons: It's a little on the short side.

Ico is a controversial title. Not for content, but for it's praise. Some people call it one of the best games of all time, while others call it a waste of time. One thing is for sure though, you have to play this game.

The story goes like...

Pros: Great graphics, good sound, makes you think.
Cons: Read review.

Ico for the PS2 is a new experience for owners of Sony console. It puts you in the world of the horned boy Ico and his quest to escape a castle with the light pigmented Princess Yorda. The game has lush graphics and a unique atmosphere.
