Hi,

About a year ago when Ico and Shadow of the Colossus came out i picked up a copy of this game. About a year later i finally got around to playing it and beating it. ICO was OK, and i thought for a game in 2003 it was good and something fresh. I think by today's standards it didn't really live up to what one would expect. But onto what i originally intended this thread to be about. Did anyone else have any problems with the controls/camera angles in this game? It was a sweet game, and certainly one of the better PS2 games, however i seen this game rated very highly, and I think the controllers/camera angle/ screen tearing bring it down a notch in my book. Horse riding, navigating around the colossus, and ledge jumping. I also found it really annoying that i could not up jump, and jump up from a ledge. That's my only complaint on a near flawless game. Anyone else had these same concerns.

Games like SotC and Ico are supposed to make you feel human in a game, no high jumping or weird movement of any sort that you or me can't do. That's why it's so great and fresh, you feel humanized by some tasks and challenges on the game.

It's the type of a game that challenges your brains not your muscles(mainly finger muscles in our case here), not anyone can just come and enjoy it though since it's like you said fresh and innovative. It's really not a game for everyone IMO.
