My gamestop has a used copy of ICO for 20 bucks. Should I buy it?

Of all the games I've played that have a certain amount of hype surrounding them, ICO is probably the worst.

Imagine the worst parts of Myst crossed with the worst parts of Tomb Raider, and you have this game. Except that those games at least have decent visuals. ICO's graphics is just a blurry mess.

Not my cup of tea perhaps, but I can understand why many other games I dislike are popular. This game really strikes me as yet another example of "the emperor's new clothes".

I wouldn't exactly call ICO "popular" or "hyped."  ICO is a niche game, whose supporters could be referred to as a "vocal minority."  It is emotionally charged and full of beauty, which are qualities that often go unappreciated when compared to more mainstream titles.
