ICO - PS2 Game

You are looking at Play Station 2 game ICO.

'Dream a little dream...the most original adventure in years, a game you almost certainly must play. 9.4/10!' - An amazing score from IGN!

ICO incorporates elements from puzzle, adventure, strategy, fighting and role-playing-game genres. It's the tale of a courageous young boy on a heroic journey through an unknown castle to save a princess and discover his own mysterious fate. Faced with numerous puzzles, ranging from simple mazes to complex brainteasers, ICO invites gamers into a deep, mysterious story line with beautiful, dreamlike graphics.
As the story goes, once every generation a boy is born with horns. Thought to be the minion of an evil spirit, the afflicted but innocent ICO was captured at age 12 by the village's leaders and brought to a deserted castle to be sacrificed for the good of the community. After the villagers bury him alive in a castle tomb and leave him for dead, he is able to break free of his confines; he then learns of a beautiful young princess who is likewise held captive. From there he embarks on a challenging course through the castle ruins to save her.

They quickly discover, however, that the entire castle is a prison from which escape will not be easy. Shadowy spirits emerge from gloomy corners, desperate to drag Yorda back into the darkness. Every twisting staircase, creaking door and towering pillar is part of a larger puzzle. Each torch and shaft of light only serves to illuminate another mystery.

A game so unique that it almost creates its own genre, ICO boasts some jaw-dropping graphics, with a unique atmospheric look and strangely unsettling enemies that single-mindedly focus on Yorda intent on dragging her to another dimension. ICO is an absorbing adventure with tremendous replay value.
