| SlorgNet said: Coolness. For those who have never played "Ico" or "Shadow of the Colossus" - you're missing out on two of the most amazing, atmospheric, and inventive adventure quests ever created. You may or may not like the game-play - there's relatively little combat, almost no dialogue, and lots of three-dimensional puzzle-solving. (I didn't find it frustrating, but that's just me.) But the music, scenery, controls and cut-scenes are marvelous. Basically, they're what the Zelda series might have become, if it hadn't started to repeat itself after the high-water mark of Ocarina. |
They're much different from Zelda, and I can't really see Zelda ever having turned into an Ico/SotC-like series under different circumstances, but I'd love for Zelda Wii to adopt some aspects of SotC/Ico's controls. Wander and Ico were both far more mobile than Link, and it'd be great if they could combine Link's swordplay and defensive maneuvers with Wander/Ico's general maneuverability. Adopting (and improving upon) Agro's controls would be awesome as well (particularly adding a "trot" phase between "walk" and "gallop" :P).
