OctilIery 12/28/11 5:12:00 PM #3:	Also, I'll give that back at the time, early in the PS2's lifetime, that game would have seemed amazing. But other games have improved on the puzzles and the climbing, and now it feels like a watered down, half-assed Prince of Persia. And it's a constant escort mission, which is awful. -- Fresh from my first justified ban. Ever! <cite>OctilIery posted [p:607015] in So having ...

paperwarior 12/28/11 5:15:00 PM #5:	I enjoyed it. Combat is negligible, but frustrating? Controls work fine, puzzle design is pretty good. You want to talk about Prince of Persia, the escort stuff in that was worse than usual.

You want to talk about Prince of Persia, the escort stuff in that was worse than usual. Ico is built around it so it actually works. Except for the parts where she doesn't stay in place, or where you have to rescue her from places you can't access in time, or where she's generally useless and more of a frustration, or where the game is overly picky about where you're standing when you give commands. The controls are bad, and the puzzles are unclear and often misleading. -- Fresh from my first justified ban. Ever! <cite>OctilIery posted [p:607018] in So having ...
