Description
In the midst of a land rooted in Persian mythology, the Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the forces of Good and Evil: the God of Light, Ormazd, against his brother Ahriman, the God of Evil and destruction. He becomes a witness to the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life - an act which threatens to plunge the world into darkness for eternity. A black substance called "The Corruption" begins to contaminate the ground and even the sky itself. Our heroic Prince, together with the enigmatic and dangerous Elika, must do all that he can to rid the world from this ultimate evil.

Featuring a re-imagined Prince and a beautiful cel-shaded world, Prince of Persia is chock full of the awesome acrobatics and free-form fighting that are the series’ hallmark. A huge, open world awaits you, intrepid adventurer. Will you be the one to cleanse the world of Ahriman's corruptive influence?

  • Non-linear gameplay in a detailed, open-ended world.
  • Masterful storytelling and lavish environments guarantee a cinematic action-adventure experience
  • Introducing Elika, a deadly and mysterious ally, who’s gifted with magical talents and dazzling acrobatic prowess.

Combat ruins it

Title says it all. The free running is mostly fluent and fast but the combat is just horrible.

Lack of support

This game looks nice and has it's own charm but it's biggest problem that it's not supported anymore, if you have modern PC and want to play, don't, some bosses now are harder if not nearly impossible (The Warrior boss sucks ass now) to defeat, and lack of updates/support means this game is nearly unbeatable on 2021-09-25.

Don't like it.

Bought this on Xbox 360 hoping for more PoP fun, but gave up after a couple of hours as this is a reboot, ignoring the previous games completely. Never got into it and never went back. More of an opinion than a review to be honest.

Game for people who like old PS2 games

To save time I'll get right to the point. This game's controls and spastic camera are its weak link. Graphics are good, sound is good, and story seems to be good. I played about an hour into the game, and I had to give up in frustration because of the horrible controls and absolutely terrible camera. So readers can understand my background, I've played PC and console games since the late 90's. I've played games on PC, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Wii, Xbox, XBox 360 and XBox One. I've played games using a keyboard and controller. I've also played some PS2 games including the Metal Gear Series, Shadow of Colossus, and Final Fantasy games. In short, I've been playing games for a while, and not on just one platform. This game's controls felt like an old PS2 game with a spastic camera that bounced around so much it made me dizzy. Once I'd played games with well-done controls and cameras (i.e., Splinter Cell, new Tomb Raider games, Thief Series, Deus Ex series, Final Fantasy, etc.), it was painful trying to play this game. Graphics were good. Sound was good. Voice acting was good. Story, at least as far as I got, was good. But the bad controls and horrible camera ruined the game. If you're used to old PS2 games with wonky controls and a bad camera, then you'll likely enjoy this game. Otherwise give it a pass.

Great positive fun!

It's a positively beautiful game that is fun to play. Some places are easy, some are pretty hard, together it makes a balanced experience. I find the whole concept of cleaning the world of corruption very appealing, I wish it could be done outside of the game as well. The visuals are great, the voice acting is superb, dialogs are full of humour, the female companion is pretty, overall I find it an enjoyable experience. I thought it's mostly for a younger audience, judging by that huge sword in the screenshots and videos - it looks so console-ish. But when you play, it's all fine, and fights are fun, especially since you can't exactly "die". Lots of cool movements and tricks you can pull with the enemies. Just as you're getting tired of jumping and performing acrophobic acrobatics, there comes a fight for a change. A few dialogs afterwards ease the tension. I only wish the prince had more clothes on; having half-naked men on my screen is something that could be misinterpreted by an accidental witness. But I understand it's a tradition of the series, I remember the first one was jumping about in something that looked like white pyjamas. After all, it's pretty warm there, in Persia.
