Forums - Sony - ico and drake actually have many similarities

I just bought ico over amazon used.  After playing uncharted 2, I actually noticed many gameplay similarities.

 

-both involve climbing ledges and walls.

-both involve partners jumping across gaps and being pulled by the other partner.  And jumping up and being pulled up by the other partner.

-both involve puzzle solving

OMG two platformers have similarities!!!

Also, Uncharted borrows from many games, it's what is called a jack of all trades.

Did Army of Two have many puzzles?  If so, maybe Team Ico made that also.



Yeah but Uncharted was a commercial success so it wins.



The only real similarities I see are great emotion and atmosphere is made capable by superb animation of both. Empathy with those well animated figures is engrossing.

Past that only the sequence in the castle made me wanna yell "Oompa!" so that Elena might find her way to me more swiftly.

Fail

We already established that Uncharted is a rip-off from Donkey Kong

Ico wins for the same reason!  Art over commerce.

Actually both are ace and I think the comparison is a little on the weak side TBH.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
