Same for me, even though I'm one of the few who feels that Ico is better.

I liked it slightly better also.  The only thing is the controls.  Both games have utterly terrible controls.

I wouldn't say the controls are terrible.  They are just not very intuitive.  But once you become used to them, they work quite well.

$205. It is still a lot, but not a complete screw job like most of them (I see them sell for $250 all of the time). But like I said previously, the picture quality is insane. It truly does feel like a different level of console. It gives me a lot more respect for the quality of the GameCube.

TDI, as you suggested, I started playing it last night, and it truly does feel like an epic game so far. I don't know if I would put it at the top of my Playstation 2 favorites list, but I have a feeling once I am through with the game, it will at least be in the top 5 or so.

But as others have said, my biggest complaint is the controls. They are very dated, and if I am being quite honest...sort of shit. Now obviously once I've played the game for enough hours, I'll be used to it, but nonetheless an epic game.

Obviously everyone is entitle to their own opinions, but I honestly think that most people claim that the controls suck simply because they are different than most third person 3D games.  As I said, they are not the most intuitive for someone who hasn't played the game before, but that doesn't mean that they are broken or bad.  The controls are designed around scaling the colossus and they work very well in that regard.  If anything, I would expect people to complain about the camera more than the controls. 

It shouldn't take more than the first who colossi to get used to the controls.  If it takes longer than that, I would recommend getting some practice on the first two because the game starts to get real with the third colossus.
