I finished Ico the other day and I liked it somewhat but I feel it is very overrated. I got so frustrated with it after a few hours that I used an internet guide to complete the second half of the game. It just wasnt very fun to constantly search for the right path, lever or switch.

Anyway, I think Lost Guardian will be fantastic and the pinnacle of Ico Studios.

Thats the best part of ICO, xxploration at its finest. I wish modern games were designed with that ability to be lost without a partner of (help vision) to get in the way

I hear you. And my own principle towards gaming is that I love old school level design and I'm very much against hand-holding. I love being lost too.  But somehow I didnt enjoy the exploration in Ico. Maybe I was in an impatient mood and maybe because Ico is such an old game I didn't respect it as much as I should. I can imagine that if Ico was brand new I would praise the exploration. If that makes any sense...
