Really loved this game, much more than the POP games that followed. To compare it with the ones that followed: * The platforming is less frustrating, hitting it just right. * The dialog is much better - his banter with the female character is hilarious. * The story is awesome * The graphics are just as good. * He isn't all "I'm so emo" in this one, I much prefered the art style. * Even the camera angles were done pretty well! * The fighting, again, is more fun than frustrating. Hitting the perfect spot between action and just having fun running around. This game really captured the fun and awe I had, playing the original POP. You'd be doing yourself an injustice not to pick this up, if you're the slightest fan of platforming games. Even if you don't normally enjoy platforming/action, you'll enjoy this because you can use "the sands of time" to help you out! Highly, highly recommended!
