It better be, I was disappointed after what I heard about Shadow.
 
I wasn't saying shadow was bad, just that ICO was way better.

Play the game, one of the best PS2 games ever made.

I did play it, I just kinda screwed up on saying 'after what everyone had said about it, I played it and it sucked.'
 
I sure don't, the lack of music was dumb, finding the colossi was way too long for the fight that took place when you found it, the horse was overly realistic, to the point where I started walking everywhere, the world was horribly bland looking, you didn't even need any of the lizard tails to beat the game, every time you beat a colossus, you had to listen to a horrible hint that told you pretty much nothing, and then you had to spend even longer riding and whipping out your sad excuse for a sword.

That's all I got right now.

^ This is your way of criticising, right?
 
I think both these game feel really cool. I mean I love the feeling of being in huge places or way up high etc, and the game accomplished this well. Also the lonely feeling of being very small in the middle of nowhere. I have both these games, and so far I like both.
 
I really like both games. The atmosphere that is present in both games, I think is what helps captivate me. I really liked ICO and there seemed to be a lot of emotions in the playing of the game that I had not felt in other games. It is a very different kind of game and there is none other like it, IMO. There were some moments in that game that just seemed to stick with you long afterwards. After I finished ICO, I wished that there was more. It was like reading a very good book. :)

I think you did a great job of describing what it feels like. Like a good book! The atmospheres feel really real..where you can get sucked in and like believe it or something. I love that! :)

I'm still hoping they're gonna make a sequel to ICO. The ending really left you hanging. :(

I don't see why they couldn't.

Although, I think they may make it closer to Shadow of the Colossus, as that one was more successful, in terms of sales, I think.
