Prince of Persia

This is easily one of my favorites in the franchise (and I've been there since the very beginning), but it's surprisingly misunderstood by a lot of gamers. From those gamers, you'll hear things like "it's too easy" or "the combat's lame." These people don't get the point. This game is all about giving you an amazing jungle gym of a world, and letting you jump and climb all over it. The level design is truly breathtaking, among the very best I've experienced. The thrill of running around and doing Prince of Persia-y things is so well captured in this one, and none of the typical frustrations (dying and restarting from checkpoints, excessive filler combat, craptacular attempts to be "edgy" (yes, I'm looking at you, Warrior Within)) get in the way of this. If you love to be placed in a fantasy world and be able to bound all around it, Prince of Persia is pure bliss.

I really wish I could rate this game lower than one star - one star gives it far too much credit for the effort - or better put - lack of effort - put into this. Game-play - is the worst thing this has to offer. There is nothing about this that is an actual "game", there is no chance of failure, there "boss" fights are an exercise of just waiting it out until you win - since you cannot die. It is physically impossible to die in this game, because you have a magical partner with the arms of Mike Tyson to simply "lift" you out of any crater you would fall to, or revive you if anything at all would dare "Challange" you. This whole game's story is also very, very poor. It's ending is shoddily done, and makes the entire game - a worthless endeavor already, become actually in it's own canon completely pointless. Really, you could just not play this game and you'll have the same result. I cannot describe how much this game is not worth your time, is not worth ten dollars, or even a dime. Don't buy this. If you want a pretty game, with a much better, full arched story, and far better game-play, pick up Ori and the Blind Forest.

pro: - beautiful graphics - beautiful worlds - nice music - comic look con: - Hated to search the light seeds. Those things have to be collected after finishing a boss in the same world you already have gone to get to the boss. It's just a time waster for me and adds no additional fun for me. - Quite easy. One has to press the jump button at a rightish moment and that is enough for the most part. - Don't like it when the girl has to be piggybacked when climbing on a vine. She can save me from any abyss and death but she is unable to climb it herself or just fly besides me? And it destroys the fluidity of the movement when she climbs my back. - the controls feel a bit squishy when trying to go in the correct direction I get it that people love this game. I guess they like the graphics/sounds and the easy processing without any obstacles. If you also like to collect things without having problems with immensive backtracking this game is for you.

One of the best games I ever plyed.

They were obviously trying to mix things up a bit with this game, but the ultimate result is a very uninteresting and unchallenging game. On the face, it promises spirit and novelty. Upon completing the game, you'll feel like you were held by the hand (quite literally) though a spiritless series of events and you'll be left feeling a bit numb from the paint-by-numbers experience. The only word I can think of to describe this game is: inert (which is interesting given the focus on fluid movement throughout).
