Incredible atmosphere. Groundbreaking, not quite like anything else until its release. A critically important game for both video game history and its era. It defines the early PS2 days and had massive influence on the medium as a whole. This would be a fantastic title to see on PC, restored, and maintained. Today, it is basically stuck on PS2 and a PS3 HD re-release. ICO deserves to be remembered and cherished.
I always wanted to play ICO but I could never get my hands on it, so i had to make do with watch other peoples playthroughs online. I once found someone's college level essay (on this game) online. It was quite the read.
A fantastic game, with great atmosphere. Unfortunately, it has never been release anywhere except ps2 and ps3. I'm not sure what I hoping for voting for this game here, but who knows, maybe a pc port couple of decades lates is still possible. Could you change the game box art from US version to Japanese one, please?
Those games also need your vote!
