Nope.. that's the entire game... if you don't like it right away you won't like the rest..

Just.....puzzles?
No story defining moment like in SOTC?

Well there's a story and moments in the story which help make the relationship between Ico and Yorda one of the most applauded in gaming, but that starts right from the get go so the OP should already know about the story. Nikko is right, if you don't like Ico at the point the OP mentioned nothing is really going to drastically change to change that opinion.

Is it still top notch?Have games exceeded that type of relationship?

I think some games have a comparably well done relationship but on a whole I'd say no, just because the connection between the two in Ico was such a big part of the game from a story standpoint as well as gameplay. Feeling the tug of Yorda as you pull her along through the rumble in the conrtoller is still the best use of rumble that I've ever seen in a game.
iirc Ico also has the no. 1 most romantic scene as far as IGN are concerned with SotC coming in either 2nd or 3rd. Personally I didn't see the scene as romantic but it was certainly one of the most emotional in gaming.
