I thought the originals weren't that good. They were very arty and the controls were terrible. I cannot stand terrible controls and even if this game has great controls its still an experience that I will probably only want to have once and that doesn't justify a $60 purchase. I would rather buy a game which has replayability. So I'll probably just rent it on Gamefly and move on. Im just not convinced by the whole 'game as art' phenomenom. It simply doesn't work as well as other mediums.

are u saying ICO or SOTC dont have replayability?

Not to me. The controls were crap so it didn't even have playability.

Wait...what? The game was so focused on gameplay that it barely had a storyline. Are you sure you played this game?

I played it. It was a typical PS2/PS1 game in that the controls were arse, the frame-rate was poor and the visuals were muddy. Current generation titles have improved significantly in these areas. If the PS2 controls/framerate for typical games wasn't so arse the Wii wouldn't have been so successful. The PS2 drove me to the Wii in search of better and more manageable controls. In short it was a terrible game for anyone less than a dedicated console gamer. I was very much into PC games at the time I played it so my tolerance for such flaws was very limited and it still is.
