I just ordered it yesterday. Expecting it to com by next Wednesday. What should I expect and how awesome is it.

I also hope a lot of Halofags post here saying it's horrible, so we can make fun of them.

I want to play it, but I've never got around to it. Compared to shadow of the colossus, it looks boring.

I doubt it. SotC was pretty boring. Not that it means it's bad, just pretty slow-paced.

Ico is for people who like expolran'/exploran' games. Something that I absolutely loved in SotC. I've been waiting for about 4 and 1/2 months to get the money to buy it.

The only bad thing I hear about Ico is the combat, but then it's still half and half between people who say it's bad/good.

The compbat is essentially just hack 'n' slash, with only one attack button. The flavor in combat comes from positioning yourself and yorda where you can defend her and go to a portal thing easily and quickly.

The game is a work of art, both visually and in it's design. It has great, difficult puzzles, the only good escort mission ever (The entire game is one long escort mission), and it packs an emotional punch.

It's a great game to be sure, and any fan of Shadow of the Colossus should play it.

Isn't Yorda blind or something?
