Well, it looks like GameSpot has decided to give it an 8.7. I know it's just a review, but I'm kinda dissappointed. I mean, look at all the other reviews. They're in the 9's. http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/w ... w.htmlThis is such an original game, something that you don't come by these days. I mean, they gave FarCry: Instincts (don't get me wrong, I love that game) a 9.1. How can it be more original than SotC? Oh well, guess that's just the SotC fanboy inside of me talking.Anyway, if you guys watch the Video Review of SotC on GameSpot, they have footage of two never-before-seen Colossi. One looks like the Minotaur from the OPM demo, but with a beard. The other is a giant horse-like Colossus.I'm so excited! Just one more day! It's almost here!

Look at ICO's scores, they suck balls but the game is great. I think it doesnt meet the standard in the eyes of the reviewers. Which means absolutely nothing to me, but explains the score. Single player only but very original. Replay value, probably not very high. Good sounds, mediocre graphics.Still gonna pwn in my eyes, and thats all that matters!

I mean, Team ICO set out on what they wanted to do and didn't care about sales figures or review scores. They had the freedom to make a game that wasn't conventional or is like anything that's out there.
