Is it any good?

Easy question

What's Ikaruga?

I've never heard of it.

It's a puzzle game. It's also very challenging, but not for the type of people who prefer to play games with a walkthrough. I would say this and Ikaruga are the only genuine *games* (not just multimedia bonanzas) to come along in the last five years.

Oh come on! It's not exactly taxing, fast-paced action, is it?! :-)

So it's a platformer.
But geigh

*note wookie finds killing ghost's and aimlessly walking around with a woman attached to you 24/7 as relaxing.

Ahem.

;)

It's quite a serene and relaxing game, I found. Good fun. Little to no replay value, though. Not completely original, but a different approach to the platform/puzzle genre that works well.

ICO ranks nowhere near the likes of VC, MGS 2 or The Getaway. It's not that type of game, it's not bad though there is some action in it but I wouldn't pay £40 for it.

I might.

Does the Princess turn into something nasty?
Can you lob her off things and laugh?

It's good.

But Goatboy won't like it.

Tempting.

It's not a pooftah game is it?
Can you punch things or run them over in a car?
