Prince of Persia

Pretty much as the title states - the wall running and jumping aspect of the game are great fun and extremely satisfying. The unfortunate juxtaposition to this is the apalling combat which renders the game unplayable at times. If you can tolerate tedious, forearm-numbing enemy battles (it's not just the bosses - standard enemies can take several minutes to defeat too) then I would recommend. Otherwise I would avoid like the plague.

but its pretty good

ive followed the onscreen prompts exactly and all i do is fall every time

Pro: - They tried something new and created a great Fairytale - The Combat is more of a "one on One" Duel wich looks and feel good - The World is Beautiful - Great Music Con: - The Climbing is very on Rails as well as the Powers - by the End the Combat feels repetetive - The Story ends on a cliffhanger (DLC ends on a Bad note) so no conclusion to the Story. That is the biggest one for me. I want to see this WEorld again and help save it. About the "you cant die" part: You can Fail. If you fall, The girl will save you and put you back. If you get hit to much in a fight, the Girl will save you BUT the Enemy will refill its Livebar. So it just avoids the Loading screens but its the same as Dying in other games. All in all id say its a great Game with cool ideas and for 10 Bucks or less i can EASILY recommend it. It just sucks that we will never finish the Story :(

Brilliant presentation and cel-shaded graphics, fluid motion and combat, a wider perspective of a game world, and a new turn for the PoP series. But that turn is also puzzling as it left behind most of the things fans liked in the original trilogy. The plot is freeing a cursed land from corruption by defeating evil. This Prince went a new direction. It was easier, and dying was rare. It gave players a lot of slack so they didn't die every time they miscalculated a jump. In fact, it told you directly that you were about to die. Lots of fans didn't like this. They wanted more challenge. Combat was also made into a more rhythmic dance of which the prince and his female friend use combos to defeat enemies. And the enemies. There are nowhere near as many as the original trilogy. Enemies were spaced further apart and treated as narrative forwarding rather than straight up having to kill ten or more brutes with time travel powers. Still, the game is stylish and fun for casuals. Hard core types who liked the difficulty of Warrior Within will not find the same challenge here. This is a strange, and forgotten, Prince of Persia, but it does shine in its own unique way.
