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.
