I love you Elika!

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.

Fantastic

Imaginative game that does away with the traditional "game over" screen. Very beautiful, fun puzzles, great backstory - and it's relaxing to play. Quite enjoyable. Sadly, most people don't really understand the concept of this game and post childish, hyperbolic 1-star reviews. Right. 1 star. OK. Look past the whining about the game being "too easy" and enjoy an excellent setting - one that, sadly, Ubisoft will likely never revisit.

Great! But not amazing

Despite what many say this game is actually pretty good. The graphics and music are fantastic and the gameplay can be very entertaining. But the very easy difficulty, boss fights that sometimes rely on fast button pressing and repetition keep it from being a classic like Sands of Time. But at 10 bucks its totally worth it

Heard bad things, but...

I have to say that I was extremely impressed with this game. The "can't die" mechanic seems to be driven into the ground with all the other reviews, but it helps support the more "trial and error" aspects of the level design (which is good). In a way, it's kind of how a game like "Super Meat Boy" respawns you instantaneously if you die. It doesn't make the game easy. It makes it not a chore. The levels are fun to explore and I really enjoyed the seamless transition from one area to the next. It created a great, big world where every nook and cranny opened up new possibilities. Everything in this game lends itself to that exploration. Still, it feels like a "Prince of Persia" game. Really enjoying it so far!

Beautifully pointless...

The game is, at best, a 3D platformer with beautiful visuals, a nice backstory told throughout the game, a nice soundtrack and a large environment. At worst... where do I begin? The main story is average, the combat system is riddled with a lot of combos you have to memorize, there aren't that many enjoyable puzzles, the routes to take feel too straightforward for how large the different areas are and... no matter how hard you try, dying is not possible in this game, because you have your companion Elika (that not only assist you in combat, but also in platforming) that will rescue you EVERY SINGLE TIME. What makes it worse is the ending, without spoilers, it ruins the entire purpose of the game. Don't bother with this one, I'd recommend playing the trilogy.
