Prince of Persia

The problem with this game is not the lack of death. For me it was not a problem. The two main problems of this game are: -It doesn't have an interesting story (it probably has the worst story of any Prince of Persia game since Prince of Persia 3D). The characters are underdeveloped and the dialogues sometimes seem written by a little child. -The game is in fact a succession of quick time events, specially the fighting, which makes the game a quite repetitive one. If you love the saga you may buy it, but you won't find here anything close to the good old Sands of Time saga.

English below. Ho amato questa rilettura di Prince of Persia più della somma delle sue parti. Le architetture del mondo di gioco e la cinetica del Principe rendono il platforming a tratti frustrante e ho trovato l'umorismo fuori luogo. Al contempo però la storia si dispiega in maniera interessante e la direzione artistica e le interazioni con Elika sono incredibilmente affascinanti. Il segmento finale mi ha tolto il fiato. Non lamentatevi dell'assenza dell'Epilogo su PC perchè è robaccia. I loved Prince of Persia much more than the sum of its parts. Platforming is not extremely well balanced and I think the Prince humor is out of place, but the story unfolds in an interesting way, the world is vibrant and beautiful, and the interaction with Elika is really charming. The ending left me speechless. Don't get upset about the Epilogue absence on PC since it's garbage.

Audio missing here and there, loading extremely slow and my PC spec is pretty good. Bought this game because I had a good memory about it long time ago, very disappointed.

or at least that is what the Prince of Persia should have said. I really enjoyed this game, its story and both of the characters, I was saddened by the ending, in the same way that you are sad that a great story has come to an end, but I was more saddened that the DLC that was only ever released for PS3 and Xbox 360, there is no PC version. The DLC is called Epilogue and it expands on the ending I just loved it so much and the levels are even better than the base game levels. story is left on a cliff hanger but with much drama and hope. I wish more games would make endings like these, not all endings have to be happy.

This game is made for console. Console gamers want the controls to be easy, if they happen to feel lost in the game, they want an instant magic light to show them the way, when they die they want to respawn just a couple of seconds before they failed. They want to be told which buttons to press during fights. They want to run over the map to collect a million lights put there for them to collect. And they get all this in Prince of Persia. Unfortunately this is not what I'm expecting of a game, and it was somewhat irritating. So why am I rating 5 stars? Because the game is so fantastically beautiful that it was pleasant to play anyway, just to watch the world! After every part of the game, a part of the world is cleaned from the black plague, and it changes appropriately. The game is a bit repetitive, but not to the point when you just don't believe anything new will happen. The story is not bad, although way less beautiful than in Sands of Time. The fighting system is interesting, although very console-gamers-targeted. In general I must say not everyone will like it, but for me it was both fun and challenging at times. Maybe I'll even play it again in the next couple of years :)
