Shadow of the Colossus review on GameBrit.com

When Ico was quietly released for the PS2 back in 2001 critics lauded it as one of the finest games ever made. Although it never achieved the success it deserved it did go on to sell a very respectable 800,000 copies worldwide and word of mouth coupled with it’s well known rarity ensured it was highly sought after on eBay. With it’s notoriety in the gaming publics mind it was little surprise that any news of a sequel would be warmly received. Early screenshots of Nico, as it was known (a play on words ? the Japanese word for two is Ni), garnered great amounts of interest across the gaming world which waited patiently for more details. They waited years for Team Ico to release their follow-up, now with a new title, Wander and Colossus, and boy was it worth the wait.
