Jumpack for Ps2 - opinions?
Did anyone pick up the new Jumpack that was released for the PS2 last week when GT3 was released? From the list of games I saw online, it looked to be a really week demo disc, with lots of movies and demos for games that are already out.. Anyone have any opinion or know what is on it exactly? Is ICO anygood?

I saw the Jampack, is it actually something that is purchased? If so, how much is it? I would get it just for the playable Soul Reaver 2 demo.
I've heard ICO is supposed to be good, but those are just short impressions I've heard. Is it playable?

It's $7.99
There are only 3 new playable demos. The rest are all games that have been released.
The new Demos:
-Ico
-Soul Reaver 2
-Klonoa 2
The other demos
-Zone of Enders
-Starfighter
-ATV Offroad
-Cool Boarders 2001
-MX 2002
-Red Faction
-Gauntlet: Dark Legacy
The other features
-Downloadable codes for Amored Core 2 and another game
-Trailer videos for Okage: Shadow King and Drakan II
-Behind the Scenes featurettes for Cool Boarders 2001 and Starfighter
I was pretty dissappointed by the first PS2 Jampack. It's still a good deal for 8 bucks, but by the lineup of demos this should have been out last spring. On the upside the menu navigation is so much better and less cumbersome then the PSX Jampacks. I also missed the Japanese demo that old Jampacks have. Where they present a demo for a game that will most likely never be released in U.S.
All in all, you can't go wrong with the new Jampack. Even if you have a majority of the games, the three new demos pretty good.
Klonoa is a pretty good 2 1/2D platformer. Ico is really good but frustrating. It's almost like a 3D version of Out of this World and Flashback where each new area presents a challenging puzzle. Soul Reaver on the otherhand is probably the selling point for the disc. You get a really good feel for the game here. It seems like the game adds more puzzles and action as you start out with the Soul reaver, but you have a restiction on it as prolonged use drains your energy.
