Title: Ico; How did this thing get good reviews?
Review: Captivating, epic, amazing...All of these words do NOT apply to the highly hyped, and highly over rated game, Ico. How this game recieved such high marks is a mystery to me, yet I feel it is my duty to warn others about it. Ico brings new definition to the word pointless, since through most of the game you are left wondering why the heck you want to go on, playing a game with a hollow plot, poor character development, and an annoying kid that makes you want to run him off a cliff, just to see him die! The only ray of light that shines through this dull title is the amazing visual effects brought out by the programmers... Unfortunately, graphics do not make the game, and Ico proves this. So be warned, you would be better off investing in airline stock than you would buying this game.
