Courtesy of Andy Chirino, from the GameSpot preview of ICO talkback section:
"Not that I'm dissing Sony or this game or anything, but this game did not appeal to me the way some other games do. I don't know what it was (perhaps my nerdy, geeky, gaming friend Tony saying it was a "work of art") but I've never yawned so much in my life! People are already saying Ico will beat Legend of Zelda, but they're wrong. My Dad's-friend's-son (yeah, that's it) works for Nintendo and showed me a Zelda trailor and (get this) DEMO!!! Compared to the Ico Demo, Zelda is a "work of art". It has way better graphics (would you believe I actually saw blood, realistic looking red blood. Ico doesn't have that), way better sound and music, and compared to Ico, the puzzles were way harder. Also I noticed in Ico a very noticable fault, when Ico climbs a rope or a chain, it goes right through him, I mean, couldn't they fix that? Also, in Ico, you have no health bar, that retarded princess is kind of your health (if she's captured, game over). And Ico's weapon is the almighty, legendary, master stick (with which you beat your enemies like a girl). Link's sword, on the other hand, is swift and sharp and pierces through your enemy like, well, a sword in your flesh. The fighting is also a lot cooler in Zelda cause Link's INTENSE. SERIOUSLY, THE FIGHT WITH GANNON WAS AWESOME AND WAY BETTER THAN ICO'S BEAT YOUR ENEMY SOFTLY, WITH A PIXIE STICK. Okay, maybe thats pushing it. While people say Ico has great water effects, Zelda has awesome smoke effects (in game, and in the FMV's). PS2's great, but Gamecube will be way better, and anyone who thinks otherwise IS JUST JEALOUS THEY SPENT ALL THEIR CASH ON A PS2. IN CONCLUSION, THE HORNY ICO WON'T STAND A CHANCE TO GAMECUBE'S, NINTENDO'S, AND SOON THE WHOLE WORLD HERO, LINK!!!"
I, of course, don't share his belief. Just wanted to inject a little controversy into this sleepy board.
