Taken another way, it's like you're saying graphics don't matter so long as the game plays well. So the Xbox360 and PS3 arn't really needed, and every other subsequent iteration.

maybe i should consider not quitting EB for another month so that if it retails at $39.99, i could get the game for a buck less after tax...[/QUOTE]
This is exactly why I didn't jumo on this right away. Shipping kills the deal for me.

No, I don't own V.I.P. I was looking through an old GameInformer the other day and I saw that it got a 1.5 or something. It was just to point out how bad I think Ico is and Shadow will be.
Yes, gameplay comes before graphics, but that is not the point. Graphics don't equal art. Madden 2005 has good graphics. I've never heard it referred to as art though. My point is this: don't call Ico art just because you have no answer when someone questions that gameplay. It's not art, it's a game. It has good graphics, yes, but it's a bad game. Why would anyone sit and watch a bad game just to see a pretty picture? I wouldn't, but I would play a good game regardless of graphics.
Ico is not underrated. Ico is not good. There have been hundreds of topics on this board alone stating how underrated Ico is. If that many people are talking about it, how could it possibly be underrated? It is OVERRATED. I would rate it lower than V.I.P.
Bottom line: You people who responded my post are using irrelevant, unintelligible arguments.

Now I am getting the impression that you never even played V.I.P for playstation. If that is the case, how could you objectively compare it to another game. For the record, I enjoyed both watching and playing ICO. It was beautiful and enjoyable. If you did not enjoy it, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, as others are entitled to theirs. I do agree that gameplay is more important than graphics, but that doesn't mean that I can't appreciate good graphics for what they are. What Ico had was not just good graphics, but an excellent artistic vision that was well executed. Just because it doesn't hang in the Louvre doesn't mean it isn't art.
There have not been hundreds of topics on this board claiming that Ico is underrated, but there have been several. When we state it is underrated, we mean by the gaming public as a whole, of which the members of this board are but a small portion.

While you may not like Ico, there are scores of people that do. That doesn't make them any more or less wrong than you, either. If you don't like Ico, great, don't play it. I happen to think it was wonderful.
You haven't presented any valid points to support your argument that games can't be art, either. "Art" is subjective, not objective.

Chances are This game would probably go for 35 at outpost and 36 plus tax at most other oline stores. Ico's poor sales may have some thing to do with it not being a 50 dollar game (why risk scaring people off from buying it with a higher price point?) especially not being a super huge mass market title with a licenced character or something with cartoons and a comic already circulating.
For 37 I might pick it up from Amazon, I throughly enjoyed Ico and presentation wise it's visual/aural/gameplay quality was on par with many AAA titles. If this game is half what that game was it'll still be better than plenty of other titles I've paid more for.
The only thing stopping me is the Knowledge that I might possibly be able to get it in Chinatown for less than 37 with no tax included... but then again they might sell it for 39 and I'd have missed out... desisions, desisions.

Yes, I've played V.I.P. and it is honestly better, in my opinion, than Ico. I bought Ico as a result of all the hype on CAG about it being underrated. I got it at BB for $14 and I felt ripped off after playing it. I gave it an honest chance as I played it through to completion.
If you want Ico to be art, fine. Find the most beautiful scene in the game and pause it. How long are you going to leave that image on your screen before you get bored with your art? Sooner or later you're going to put a GAME in your PS2 GAME console and play that GAME. I've said it before in other topics, Ico was marketed as a game, not as artwork. If it had been sold as art, I never would have bought. I have nothing against art, but I was taking the word of my fellow CAGers that this is a great, underrated GAME.
The reason I'm stating my opinion so boldly is because it would appear to onlookers that Ico (and most likely Shadow) are undisputably excellent games. I'm sure there are just as many people who hate the game as there are who love it.
Opinions are like a$$holes: everybody has one. It just seems like everyone is trying to share the same a$$hole when it comes to Ico. I'm just making sure people know some of us have different a$$holes.
Finally, I would never have even checked out this thread if it hadn't been on the front page. I don't go looking for Ico topics to crap in, though I have crapped on Ico before.

It's cute how you didn't seem to follow what I said at all. There are all different kinds of art; it can just as much be an experience as it can be a still-frame, or a sculpture, or any sort of creative form of expression that you (okay, maybe not you particularly, seeing as you've had such a difficult time wrapping your brain around things thus far) can imagine.. You also don't seem to understand that, just because you didn't appreciate Ico because it wasn't what you were looking for, that doesn't make it any less of an enjoyable experience for other people who've played it, or any less a game. Not only was it a game, but it was a damn fun, and *damn pretty* game.

Even though it has little to do with Shadow of the Colossus I'll throw in my 2 cents about Ico as well...
Ico was a good game, but I'm always a little amazed at how much people like it. It basically defies the first rule of game design: that a game should be about its gameplay.
A game is comprised of 2 basic parts: it's gameplay, and it's aesthetic values. Ico has the latter in spades, but it's gameplay really is pretty basic and not entirely in a good way. The combat is overly simplistic and repetitive, but thankfully a very small part of the game. But since the core gameplay deals with having good puzzles I found Ico's to be slightly subpar. They weren't "bad" in the sense that Resident Evil has bad puzzles. But many of them were too straight-forward and hardly even puzzles. I liked that there was no inventory system or redundunt key finding excercises, but the "puzzles" certainly weren't as clever or devious as anything in the Myst series (which I find to be the pinacle of pure puzzles in video games). A lot of Ico's puzzles were merely pixel hunting excercises, and simplistic climbing.
That being said I did like Ico. I'm not sure exactly why as neither the combat nor the puzzles were anything special, but even though climbing a windmill or scaling a wall is neither a puzzle, not exactly platforming, it is strangely involving.
But I've ranted long enough about a 4 year old game. Shadow of the Colossus looks like it will have more interesting combat, and keep the strangely addicitve nature of exploring form Ico well enough alive, so I can't wait for this game. Shipping pretty much kills the deal, since I'm sure some place will have it on sale for $40, and you could price match it for $39 at CC which isn't a whole lot more, and pre-ordering stuff frightens me.

Ico IS a game:
- Explore a vast castle (fun)
- Protect your friend (adds tension)
- Solve various puzzles (similar to Zelda)
If you're not interested in solving puzzles, than neither Ico nor Zelda would appeal to you. So just SAY that - "Good games, but I was bored 'cause I don't like puzzles."

The thing that intrigues me the most is how there aren't any minor enemies. The game is a series of 18 bosses (the colossi). Are there even puzzles. I'm definitely going to rent this game, but I'm worried that it would get boring without little guys to beat on.

people... if you really wnat to know what the focus of this game is and ICO, go pick up the latest issue of PLAY.
I think alot of gamers tend to forget, Gameplay factors in with a game's "art". not all art is visual or sound. I've seen alot of art focusing on the elements of interaction and/or smell. I hear too much debate over art in games... people tend to forget that art is art. leave it be. if you don't like it, too bad, but the artist/designewr who did it is the one who invisioned it into actuality... /end rant

For example, advertsing "Levi's jeans - only $10!" and then customers drive to the store, and are told it's a pricing error. Then the next week, the ad says, "Dockers shirts - only $5!" w/ the same excuse. And on and on.
What's to protect the customer from such "pricing error" abuses?

Just to let all know that I ordered this game from amazon and they immediatley cancelled the order. Must of had alot of orders and then checked the price and chickened out. Oh well. Just buy the game when it comes out. There arent going to be more than a half a dozen PS2 exclusives worth buying next year anyway. LONG LIVE NINTENDOSOFT!!
Update: If you notice now, Amazon has this now back in stock but at the price of $39.99. If you happen to still know your old order #, call Amazon and ask if you can get this price reinstated for a new order as it was cancelled due to 'item shortages'. But you will need an old order to show the original $30 price. Also, if you add the game to your cart it shows the Free Saver Shipping, so be persuasive about that too...
