After playing "The Sands of Time" this one is real disappointment. The game is plaqued with backtracking, which in Prince of Persia doesn't work well and that is basically the main issue i had with the game. But there are other things to consider too... The game is praised for the combat system and while the combat is indeed better, i hoped for a bit more. It still can't compare with games like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta, which is expected since the focus is on platforming, but i feel the platforming itself came a bit short, because of this mediocre fighting system.
