Ico so far...

So I've gotten to the second save point in Ico. So far its nothing like anything I've played before. There's no HUD and no life bar. It sort of plays like Prince of Persia stripped down to its bare bones. The mission I'm assuming is getting out of the castle. Which seems like its going to be a lot of fun/hassle. Yorda isn't as irritating as you would think. The only time shes really in the way is when the shadows try to take her away other than that she really and extension of Ico. Press R1 and you'll hold hands with her and she'll follow you where ever you go. While not as epic as Shadow of Colossus I'm thoroughly enjoying this game.
