With special packaging in the same style, that contributed to ICO's huge success, Shadow of the Colossus will be a must have collectors' item for any self respecting gamer. The unique scenery and stunning design of the Colossi will have those who experience Shadow of the Colossus immersed in a mesmerizing adventure.

When asked about the re-release of ICO (in standard PlayStation 2 packaging), Isabelle Tomatis, Software Manager, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe commented:
"The launch of Shadow of the Colossus has given us a great opportunity to re-release ICO for all those gamers who were unable to experience this exceptional game the first time round. We are delighted to let them have the opportunity to add to their collections and believe that Shadow of the Colossus and ICO together make a powerful combination which gamers all over Europe will enjoy."
