The Last Guardian

Some of the controls where not that good, but the story was so good. This is one of few games I've ever cried to.

Team Ico seemed to have read the reviews for Shadow of the Colossus and made everything more extreme. The design and architecture was made much bigger than before! But the animal companion was made much more important and uncooperative than before! Whatever they were aiming for, it didn't work. Not worth the wait nor the frustration.

If you haven't played the last guardian yet? You should, "imo". Give yourself time in the beginning hours and it will definitely grow on you. By chapter 3 I was hooked, and I can honestly say I had an emotional attachment to both of the main characters and I cared about what was happening to them. For me this was a welcome feeling as I have been a gamer for !many! years and have not felt this way with any other game i have played.

It can be infuriating at times but keep at it, (sometimes camera angle and laboured controls) will test your patience. It's not perfect but it came pretty damn close for me.

I can't say too much as this review would contain spoilers, it's a short game that packs a punch.

One last thing, watch the end credits when you complete the game as it has a short fmv at the end.

The level designs, lighting, puzzles and plot are a masterpiece in their own right, but in doing so the game clearly pushes the boundaries of the technology required a little to far.

This title not only gives you an AI companion that walks alongside you on your journey, but actually relies upon it to complete most of the puzzles. Any video game with an AI companion suffers from the issue of the Artificial intelligence falling far behind the flexible and rational intelligence that is expected, however, whilst it can be slightly frustrating the companion in this game is years ahead of other titles, it looks and acts in a rational manner and its animations are flexible enough to adapt to nearly all scenarios. Any issues can be overlooked but if the companion were another humanoid rather than an animal it would be more obvious. In this respect, when the boy your are playing as becomes unresponsive or performs an unintended action, it is far more frustrating. Similarly, although the camera follows your avatar without player control you are left to suffer some horrible and confusing angles at times.

If your are a fan of Fumito Ueda or linear-puzzle games then this is a must play game, if however, you are looking for fast paced action games then this is not the game for you.

Great game. Beginning of the game i dont have good opinion on this , after playing it,it is one of the greatest game. Animal and kid in the game move as realistic as. Climax you feel the relation between them.
