What a disappointment.
The cell-shading graphics, the music, the atmosphere, the attention to details are all very good. But the gameplay sucks. You spend most of the game collecting light seeds, not really exciting right? And the fighting system is awful and feels like a succession of QTE.

Everything you loved about Sands of Time
This new Prince of Persia release brings back the fantasy world of Sands of Time (many critics of Warrior Within Poo Pooed the departure from Sands of Time's fairy tale like setting). Once again the environment takes center stage in the game (which makes sense in a game that is primarily about overcoming environmental puzzles). There's some meat on this game. You're not going to finish it on a single sit through and there's a nice back story that unravels nicely (if somewhat predictably) as you play through the game. For the completionists out there, you have a lot of optional puzzles to solve in order to gather ALL the collectibles in the game and you can go back to complete the collection in any prior completed area. The game is fun and as you progress through the story, you unlock new powers that basically provide new moves to overcome additional puzzles. In truth the powers while providing different actions and animations are little more than "keys" to ensure you complete quests in a certain order. But it's manifested in such a breath taking manner, you won't mind.

Not the best, but very good game
This title brought some fresh air to the Prince of Persia series. It's different. First of all it's a standalone game, not a part of the Sands of Time trilogy (Forgotten Sands is not a game... it's bullshit, so Sands of Time series remains a trilogy). Second thing you must remember is that the main character is not a prince. He's a thief and a tomb raider. But there is a Princess... And there is no Persia at all... Why the Prince of Persia title then? I don't know - go ask the devs. Combat is simple and somewhat relaxing, same goes to jumping stuff. You cannot die but if you fall you must begin from the last safe place you were on. So it's not that casual game as many may think. My biggest issue with this game is the lack of real ending. It's a cliffhanger. If you want to see the ending go buy consol version and DLC... Ubisoft! You screwed this badly!

weird game
i remember playing a point-and-click long ago, you never died. after you finished the game you realized you were playing a "movie". so it was good, until the end when you found out there was no way to fail. this is a platformer... you get the notion of immortality of the character after the first fall. if you are good enough to get to the first fight... wait... why? why do i have to fight monsters if i just cant die?! anyway... it was good fun. just not challenging. the which was ok too after a long day working :P

the beginning of the end
The game is a break from the PoP formula. Gone is the ability to die, fights are now quicktime events and the story is boring compared to PoP 3D, Sand of Time, and the 2 edgy PoPs When I played it back in the day, I remember being confused how Prince of Persia, a staple of my childhood, has been broken down to this?
