Its minimal storytelling and puzzle design are still cited by game designers today, and it plays like nothing else on the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rgm-condition-note\"\u003eImages are representative product references, not photographs of the exact pre-owned copy.

When the coffin breaks open, he finds Yorda, a pale girl who speaks a language he cannot understand, held in a cage. Shadow creatures try to drag her into dark portals, and the Queen of the castle wants her kept there. The whole game is about getting both of you out, with almost no dialogue, no on-screen meters and mostly the sound of wind, sea and footsteps for company.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHolding hands through the castle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIco solves the castle's puzzles by climbing chains, pushing blocks, pulling levers and swinging across gaps, while Yorda cannot follow the same routes. You hold the R1 button to take her hand and lead her, and call her over once you have found a way through. Only Yorda can open the glowing idol doors that seal off each section, so you have to keep her close. When the shadows come, Ico fights them off with a stick or sword. The game saves when the two of you rest together on stone benches around the castle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePicking a pre-owned Ico disc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIco came out on PlayStation 2 in 2001 on a single disc. On any pre-owned copy, the data side and the center hub are the areas to check, and light surface marks usually do not stop a disc from loading. Saves go to a PS2 memory card. This listing is the original PS2 release, not the later PS3 collection paired with Shadow of the Colossus, and a case, manual or memory card is included only if the listing title says so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIco\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlayStation 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePhysical format\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGame style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePuzzle adventure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlayers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSony Computer Entertainment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-owned, individual cosmetic condition varies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBox, manual and accessories\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfirm individual item contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this game\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow does Ico play on PS2?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a third-person puzzle adventure.
