Haven't played Kri, but Ico is definately under rated.

I actually played the Demo to both Kri and Ico, prior to their releases. Kri never impressed me enough to warrant a purchase. Ico stunned me enough that I preordered it (I think I was the only guy to do so at that EB).

Holy crap, that was a hard choice! I love Mark of Kri, but I had to go with Ico. Ico was just very well done. It was great.

I think I'm one of the few fans of Mark of Kri.
Any game that can hold my attention long enough to warrant me beating it,
let alone going back to collect extras, gets my vote.
I have Ico, and although good, I never bothered finishing it.
I don't know, I didn't consider Kri "Ultra-Violent" at all. I've just seen a lot worse. The game bored me too, and it got pretty repetitive.
Ico, on the other hand, was an awesome game. I vote for Ico (I bet that didn't surprise you)
Ico will win.
Wow, this is ironic... I've owned both yet never played either.
Egbert, I miss you...
I've heard good things about Mark of Kri, but ICO is my favorite PS2 game bar none.
Vote=ICO...
Cheers,

Haven't played either of them... but Primal is pretty good.

I own both of these games and haven't played either of them yet. With my current back log, I may never get to them either. Its too bad cause I hear they are both great games. Oh well.

First a beef: If everyone says a game is "under-rated", is it really under-rated? Case in point, Ico has an average 91% review score on gamerankings.com - nearly every professional reviewer gave it the highest or just under score in its rating system. Just because it didn't sell well or isn't well known doesn't mean it's under rated.
In any case, Ico didn't hold my interest very long. I liked Mark of Kri though - had some real fun with that one.

I played Mark of Kri, and didn't like it much. I've heard many great things about Ico though, so I gotta check it out sooner or later.
I actually did buy a used copy once, but It didn't work and I never bothered to buy a new one.

They are probably my two favorite PS2 games of all time.
ICO is a masterpiece. Wonderful beyond words. I love it.
Kri is a real challenge, but it has a great sense of humor and sense of style. I wanted to get all the unlockables at the end, but I just couldn't do it - those giant arena battles just kicked my butt.
I can't wait for the sequels!
It's only a game if you PLAY it!
ICO.
I didn't even really LIKE Mark of the Kri. Ico got old after a while, but that doesn't hamper the fact that it was brilliant.
Mark of Kri.
I have too many un-nice things to say about ICO okthx.
And don't bring up that stupid girlie Aladdin rip off! Shantea?
damnit, this one is a hard one since i love both games. i'd have to go with mark of kri on this one. the battle system is very innovative for a hack'n'slash and the varied gameplay, the mix of stealth and fighting, makes it stand out. althgouh ico is still up there. relly, i'd gladly pay the $40 that i did upon its release for it again (you arent selling me a nother copy).
