It's an excellent puzzle adventure game. Anyone else get the HD collection or at least play the originals on PS2?

I think the game had just came out and I remember because Blockbuster had these giant posters for the game and took them down about three days later. I guess it wasn't that good. Not really remembering where a puzzle was in but I haven't thought about the game for over 10 years now.

Now I have another opportunity, and I wont pass it up again!

It was just not very popular at the time is all and that had nothing to do with how good it was. I always hear people praising Ico so I figured I'd give them a shot. So far it is a pretty good game! Can't wait to get farther into it. All the dialogue is in Japanese though with English subtitles.

Anyway, can't wait for these. Played them both, and both were amazing. I wonder how much additions it will have though, especially the latter game. I did hear about a buddy playing as Yorda for ICO after beating it once, so I'm curious what that will like.

I know there is a game language in it when the subtitles are not in English. I always thought the boy spoke in Japanese but maybe not.

Rejoice, for bad things are about to happen!

But then I got PS3 slim as a gift and is has no backward compatibility....

Sort of like Evolution and its sequel. I might pick this HD version up soon. It's funny because I do actually remember having a dream about this game like a year or two ago.

Huh? What's that post above me say? Posts: 749 Group: Former Monarchs Member #9,139 Joined: July 7, 2008	I got to get my hands on this today. My friend Sean let me borrow his PS3, and... I'll be honest. I was a little disappointed because of the frame rate back then. I played Shadow of the Colossus again, and it was awesome that there was near no lag in it this time. \|3 It's still awesome to return to this game and go through the epic battles with each boss. \|D So glad I had an opportunity to pick it up once more.

Only had enough time to try one of them though, so I chose Shadow. Beat the first colossi and then called it quits. The graphics look pretty outstanding for being a (remastered) ps2 port. The controls were also solid and didn't give me any trouble. Edited by Red Ranger Eater, Oct 1 2011, 11:13 PM.

I never played it on PS2 but I did hear it had some framerate issues. So far I've gotten pretty far on Ico. I just dabbled with Colossus so far but I will play it after I beat Ico. It's a really good game and refreshing to get away from the usual shooter/racing games that are all too dominate now days.
