Amazing. Quality game design still makes the PS2 shine at times brighter than the PC, Xbox, etc...

For some reason, the first screenies I saw of this game reminded me of God of War....easily one of the best games I've ever played on any system.

And I was just about to give my PS2 away. Not until I've played this now...

Awesome wallpaper there Jug :icon31:

I have to admit I didn't really follow this game during its development, but from what I've seen so far, this game looks absolutely breathtaking from an artistic point of view just like ICO was. And do those colossi look awesome or what

As great as ICO was, I think they may have outdone themselves this time if the reviews are any indication. I even read/heard that there are no loading screens whatsoever throughout the entire game; it's all seamless free-roaming with the environments constantly streamed off the disk :icon14:

Too bad I won't be able to get it until November at the earliest

Hole-E-shite...that game looks amazing. At first it looked like a boring ol' Tomb Raider-esque, jump off cliffs and hang on ledges type stuff, then the colossus guy came out and I blew an unsuspecting load all over the place.

Bought it today, and i'm on the 4th colossus. Amazing breathtaking environments. Amazing bosses, extremely fun to play, especially when your dangling for dear life when the colossi are swinging you 500ft back and forth.

Worth the money already

I went into futureshop, and there were only 2 copies left. So either they sold out, or not very many were shipped

well, ICO has always been very hard to acquire, so im guessing the latter
