    My friend has this, haven't played it myself. You play a guy who has to guide this girl around, for some reason. She's holding on to your hand most of the time. Good graphics. Good engine. Haven't played it, so can't comment on the gameplay.

    Oh, the background music is good too, if I remember correctly.

    I got this!

    Its a fantastic game, very emotional and deep. Its also very subtle, enemys are quite rare. The whole game is about your relationship with this girl who you rescue right at the beginning.

    The graphics are a showcase for PS2's power, everything is smooth and luuuuurvely. Its kinda like Tomb Raider the way you jump and climb and solve puzzles but it has the twist of guiding the girl round. Its an amazing experience.

    My only niggle is the games longevity, I found it to be quite easy, but then again I'm good at this sorta thing. I managed it in about 7 - 8 hours, plus there is secret weapons and areas. If that sounds good enough for you then I'd definatly get it. I got it on day of release and I wasn't dissapointed...

    I really love ICO!

    Though you may have heard that it has "good background music," there really isn't any music to speak of. Most of the time, the background is either silent or just contains sound effects to enhance the environment (such as wind or chirping birds). The little music that the game DOES contain, however, is excellent (it really only plays during cutscenes and battles). The ending song is also very beautiful (which is sung by the voice actor of Yorda in the game, I've heard).

    If you have a PS2, I definitely recommend this game. Does anyone know if it's on the PS2 greatest hits list yet? If not, it ought to be on it.

    I also agree with Coitus that the game could have been longer. But I don't really mind anymore, because what IS there is awesome. This is all just my opinion, however.
