ICO is such a great game. *SPOILERS AHEAD* What really sucks though is that there's this other secret weapon that I don't think is in the US version.....it's not the mace, but it's this Light Saber, like the ones in Star Wars. If Ico holds it without Yorda, it's only 2 feet long, but if he holds Yorda's hand, it extends to 6 ft. long. It can kill the spirits in one swipe. I tried to get it, but I kept getting the dumb mace everytime.
