@@slowmercy69 The DLC felt more like a springboard into the sequel that never happened. They continue the cliffhanger ending but leave it on another cliffhanger.
Actually, the Prince in this game is a nice character. He just doesn't care, doesn't plan anything. Lost is family when he was young and thought that attachment to some cause or belief is nothing but a way to waste your life for somebody else. The dialogues in the game are really good. The little spats of him and Elika about gods, morals and life are amazing.
Completely fell in love with this game, from the combat, to the story, to the music, to the lovely environment. True combat can be kinda tedious but it's also very unique an entertaining. Elika is actually a secondary character that u care about an isnt annoying like u would think. Sucks we couldnt get a real sequel tho an was stuck with some half-ass dlc
Robert Maxim i just playing this game now for second time (just to play some older games) and i was playing two thrones before (also second time so i knew this games) and i played tt without using combos cause i don't have oportunities to usem them but in this pop i liked how this combos look so I'm always using them not just pressing square for sword or triangle for elika (I'm playing on ps3) I like both systems but I think that in pop from 2008 more suits to game than that one in previous games You have options but you don't have oportunities to use them
Xbox 360 and Ps3 is still the current gen... and its not going to die any time soon. Especially with the lack of games for the next-gen consoles. Give next-gen time to grow their gaming library in 1-2 years, then yes xbox 360 and ps3 will eventually die out. I have to ask though, since the game is on sale for 2.49$ on steam, is it worth getting?
I really thought this game was bad. First of all you are not a prince, second you can't die, third...it's just a duel simulator. I was bored halfway through, but everyone has it's own opinion.
This game is so underrated by fans of the PoP games. Reviewers gave this good reviews, but whenever I see people talk about this game 99% of the time it's negative.
Harith Azmi yeah, this game had potential to be a lot more awesome. I wish POP WW is remade with this kind of GFX. Dahaka would look amazing in these textures.
Man..this game grabbed me by the feels and dragged me where it wanted There are moments when music and the visuals alone makes your heart melt At the time i was really sensitive Considering the fact that i played this game 3-4 years ago Can't remember correctly Who else cried during the ending when..you know? That ending tossed my heart out of the window,because they killed YOUR COMPANION like c'mon Times like these makes you curl up in a corner and stay there for a week
Bought this game years ago and finally got around to playing it through. I don't know where the reviewer came up with the 8 hr. figure: I think it took me at least twenty. And the ending was rather morbid and unexpected but I liked it.
I loved this game. I would recommend it to anyone. Beautiful art style, huge exploration, tons of gameplay, Dark Souls style boss fights. This is what Ubisoft does best, and they did it in this game.
If you want to amp up the difficulty go for the achievement Be gentle with her (you have to complete the game with fewer then 100 saves from Elika). Or do the speed run achievements like vale runner.
Where does the time go? I played this game when I was in 8th grade all those years ago, a time when I was going through a lot of change. It was gorgeous back then and it still looks gorgeous today. Ah, glories of the past...
I'm still waiting on that sequel. I think AC has had enough spotlight for a while now... I wanna see what happened after they walked into the darkness. Sure the Epilouge Dlc explains that a bit but i want a propper sequel to the new franchise. NO not forgotten sands. I somewhat hated that game (tho the wii version is tolerable). This franchise has been on hold for 8 years now... Time to resume the PoP franchise!
i played and enjoyed all the prince of Persia games amazing franchise and i agree 100 percent bring it back Ubisoft they should put Assassin creed on hold and bring back prince of Persia.
Got this game today, not sure why I waited so long this thing is downright beautiful, the engine is marvelous. Hard to believe it came out in 08. Wish Ubisoft kept this Prince series going
I absolutely loved this game! The story, art, character design and physics are awesome. BUT WHY...WHY was the combat so awful? Like he said in the review, you cannot die and what kind of video game has no game over? And why is every battle 1 vs 1? I think Prince of Persia could have been a huge success if only the developers built a solid combat engine.
I agree 100% best graphics of all the POP games. But the combat was so slow like an old mortal combat game, it was pathetic!!! It's also the same thing I hate about the assassin creed franchise, and they never address this problem..👊👍
15 years while 12 years of me knowing that game and still loving it Never had problems with story, graphics, not dying, combat... Oh, sequel, comic, wiki entry, anything if you dont count epilogue and nintendo game, just one thing how to discover how it all ended (only if it is happy end)
It's so sad that because this game didn't sell very well we'll likely never see the continuation of this story. Such a beautiful and artistic game. I honestly loved every minute of it.
The game is amazing! I 100% it all the way in my first playthrough......whenever i remember the alchemist's scream when elika kills him still gives me goosebumps till this day
My dad has this game. I don't think he ever played it and quickly forgot that he even had it. He loaned me his Playstation 3 for a bit after I had moved out of my Mom's apartment and I found this game among his other Playstation 3 games. I thought it looked fun and gave it a shot. I cleared one of the four main stages before I quit. If you're into games with long gameplay this game would be for you.
My only complaint about this game was how little combat there really was. Pretty soon I was intentionally slowing down and waiting for enemies to spawn so I could fight them. It's a hit and miss game, an awkward phase that showed great potential, and like the reviewer said it would have made an excellent sequel
I've only played this (halfway through unlocking the entire map) this year, and i think it's fantastic. The 1v1 fights are reminiscent of the DOS POP era, and even the core of the combat system in this is based on that. It basically took all the platforming goodness of the Sands Of Time trilogy, and simplified the combat even further than they did (between Two Thrones and Warrior Within). In The Warrior Within, a lot of complaints came up coz "there was too much combat." The Two Thrones has lesser combat, but the complaint still pops up noticeably, but in a lesser frequency. So in a way, the combat here is the answer to that, but... we're human. Now we complain there isnt enough combat. I personally like the Shadow Of The Colossus type of scarcity of baddies to fight. Makes each fight actually feel special and memorable, rather than fighting endless waves of minions and grunts. The semi-open world is a great addition to platforming maniacs, and the addition of the light seeds, i think, are a good way to encourage exploration in this semi-open world. The downside is that there isnt much after the light seeds have been collected, but then again there are tons to collect and honestly is enough to stretch the length of the game to acceptable levels. As far as characters go, Etika is an instant favorite NPC, and the new prince is much more relatable as the original one. Sound and Art styles are also some of the best i have come across in video games. I just like the way the game sounds and looks. The controls are spot-on too. Well, for the most part. There are times the camera angles make you misread the direction to tilt the left analog, and you jump a wrong direction, but then there's Etika to fix that mistake. The lack of difficulty is a hit or miss depending on who's playing the game, but i personally love it. It's a breath of fresh air when everything else i love nowadays have brutal difficulties (the likes of Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, Celeste, Super Hexagon, Cuphead, Dark Souls, etc.). It's basically just a different pacing, and still is somewhat similar to the rewind function in the Sands Trilogy, with unlimited sand. Also, Etika's saves is reminiscent of the brutal games' quick respawn system. Overall i just love how i dont have to get back to a spot before the boss or a platforming sequence. Just make me respawn right away, with the enemy back in full health. Overall i think this game deserved a lot more positivity. Easily the best of the series for me even after only seeing half the game so far, and im sure i should be able to wrap up in less than a week of this awesome adventure title. Havent found any flaws here, and even the aesthetics can still stand up to today's standards. 10/10 for me.
I'm not 100% on board with this game, but this art style is absolutely timeless. You can look at this game 5 years later, and it still looks beautiful.
If i had to describe this game i'd say that it was ahead of its time. This game was amongst the first of its kind to value story/characters and design/art overall over the conventional aspect of a game and it got critisize for it. This game surpasses the previous trilogy in many ways. This game was ambitious. Fast forward todays, ubicrap is sh*tting an AC game every year, great.
I just finished the game (the credits is rolling) and my only complain is that it is a disappointing end boss. It felt to short... Btw is he even a Prince? Maybe they should established the actual game title a little bit more because i didn't remember they called him a prince. But is a good game in the franchise and i am happy to have played it.
I compeletely agree with this review. I also like that I am at my second playthrough, and it feels very different because I chose a compeletely different path.
@theandriuca there will be a new prince of persia coming out next year (2010) called "prince of persia: the forgotten sands" which will carry on from the trilogy of sands of time, warrior within and the two thrones.
i wasn't a huge fan of the other prince of persia games, but this one looks pretty cool. the graphics look kind of like sly cooper mixed with okami, but with much brighter colors and more detail
@SlyGlacier I was talking about THIS Prince of Persia being a ripoff of AC, not the Sands of Time trilogy nor the original. The combat is almost if not already identical. Get it right people.
This game may be easy but it's more about just kicking back and having a good time jumping around this gorgeous looking land. I usually like shooters and hack n slash but this game really took me and I loved it. Rent it or get it for cheap. At least try it, but it's not for everyone. Ur iether gonna love or gonna hate.
i really enjoyed this game, looks stunning and it has an amazing storyline. and i wouldn't let the not being able to die part put you off, to be honest if every time you fall you died you be very very sick of it very quickly.
in my opinion its a great game. i happen to own it but i would reccomend a rental since the game is short with not too much replay except finding the light seeds things. i thought the old POP were way better. this game is less puzzle oriented. there are minimal puzzle sections and when they do appear they are short and not very difficult. the meat of this game is the enviornments, the great free running action, and the epic boss fights which are kinda like ani-matrix style.
recently started played this,, and just finished it... the Artistic Graphics of this aged well... although the combat - repetitiveness, and separation from normal mode is a bit let down
Yes as everyone says, this game looks stunning, the world, the artstyle, everything is just graphically amazing. As the reviewer said, this games isn't much for the gameplay and combat, but more about the experience. The only reason (i think) is because i want to see what happens at the end, since i have a lame computer and i can only run this on lower settings getting decent framerates.
The art style looks great, but without any form of progression or difficulty, i have to give it rent. This holiday season has had a lot of great buy-worthy games like Left 4 Dead and FallOut 3, but like all the holiday seasons there are a lot second thoughts like Mirrors Edge and Persia. Good year though.
One of the few occasions IGN reviewer was more relatable and rational. I actually love this game a lot despite it being too easy, it's an experience every game needs to have at least once.
i prefer old prince of persia games but this isn't bad just wish they would maybe make a remake of price a persia the two thrones with better graphics and maybe a co-op mode but i don't think that'll ever happen.
I loved the series. I played all of them. Still good in my opinion. However this prince of persia was my favorite next to sands of time and i will tell you why. 1). The ART 2). A NEW prince. As he mentioned before EMO prince i do not miss. Sorry. 3). The story 4). The music Now for my Cons. I agree with everyone about the combat. I just wish you could have died in the game. Them raising the difficulty level would have been nice. Them taking this out of the game did hurt it. I will admit this, but you have to look at it in a different way compared to the other. For instance, The game Journey is both beautiful, great characters, and fun story no combat in the game but it didn't stop people from enjoying it. In all I loved this Prince of persia. I wish they would remake it with the same art style in HD and up the combat to HARD for those who want a greater challenge like Elika won't be used or something. :)
Same thing as Shadow of the Colossus. This is a piece of art, rather than a video game. One of the best cell-shading graphics so far, amazing story, awesome soundtrack, and an unexpected beautiful ending make this the best of the series for me.
@AnthonyTheAwesome500 thats right, and almost so was the 4th one wich didnt please me pretty much tough the environment design was badass..Id say the first one was adorable, the second one was awesomly great and the third one completes this circle But forgotten sands was kind of short and simple, and the 4th one just doesnt find its place and ration in this franchise.
@AskiKayaman i have the same issue, however i still havnt finished it. i did have more fun with ''the forgotten sands'' only issue i have with that one is the story, sand monsters, recall glowing sand, but it isnt the sands of time? but some other magical sand. i dont get it.
They really make a sequel to this POP version; it was beautiful, not a lot of combat but that's ok cuz combat itself is amazing and the world is beautiful to travel through
well imo its a very good PoP position. i has that Arabian feel to it. Nonetheless the difficulty ridiculously easy :D. However this one goes in pair with SoT for me. WW is still my fav :D. The PoP that's bad is imo FS. Feels like they made it to go next to the movie
Absolutely. And I always get the feels when Elika dies. One of the best written side characters in video games. Rasia from TFS is annyong and is just a plot device-literally you use her as a sword. Farah is annoying af. Elika is so relatable and lovable. Even if they gave you and ending choice-like you see a donkey and you are allowed to leave. I would still save Elika.
I got to say that I had some trouble getting into it, but once I did, I thought this game was a lot of fun. Even though the controls are very easy and the game is very forgiving, it's still a lot of fun to nail combo's. And this video really doesn't justify the games graphics. It looks a lot smoother and more detailed on my TV.
This game is love ,combat ,music ,story ,funny talk ,anything that's why I love ubisoft but now why they are forgot about this kind price of Persia this is different then assassin creed plz make another game like this
I've never had a problem with a game being easy. If it's really fun, I can play for hours. If it's too hard, I'll still work through it, but I tend to take breaks, and come back. This game is currently $8 for PS3 and $5 for XBox...Why don't I have it yet!?
It's a very enjoyable game, though it's quite easy, combo's look cool, gameplay remains cool, though it takes about 12-16 hours for you to completely play the game. So, if it's somewhat 15 to 30 euros/dollars(or cheaper of course), buy it, it's worth it.
I played through the entire game, not because of the story (which is good), not because of the gameplay (which is boring) but because of the visual art style. It's unique and colorful, couldn't stop discovering environments and recover their true colors from corruption.
that happened to Warrior Within to some extent. Sands Of Time didn't sell as much as Ubisoft wanted (despite the fact it made to Greatest Hits) so Warrior Within was made action-oriented so that more people would enjoy it. This made the game lose a great part of it identity and charm. most of the action in the game is pretty mindless, and the amount of times you pass though the same spots is annoying, by the way, Still a great game, though.
As of 2019, this game still looks gorgeous .
Here in 2022
Right
2023 boys
2023!!
EVEN IN 2024
12 years later and this game still looks awesome and beautiful. wish this would have a sequel and an ending
Ending was DLC. Not released on PC
@@slowmercy69 The DLC felt more like a springboard into the sequel that never happened. They continue the cliffhanger ending but leave it on another cliffhanger.
@@A203D Damn 💀 Never got around to watch the DLC on YT. So they put a cliffhanger ending in a cliffhanger ending
and this is why graphics style win over realistic graphics.
Actually, the Prince in this game is a nice character. He just doesn't care, doesn't plan anything. Lost is family when he was young and thought that attachment to some cause or belief is nothing but a way to waste your life for somebody else.
The dialogues in the game are really good. The little spats of him and Elika about gods, morals and life are amazing.
he will care... for Elika
Prince:" Carpets this Thick !! THIS THICK"
The most beautiful game graphics i've ever seen since 2008, not like the next gen games that's been trying hard to be realistic.
I wish Prince of Persia 2008 had a sequel, now its all about the assassins creed :/
Ps. Assassins Creed is not bad its just...it became generic, like CoD in a way
Dusan Ivic Yeah pretty generic i get what you mean. AC would have lived if they remade AC1, no one would forget that legend.
+Davorn Urynmar (Davo) I actually bought ac1 recently and I have to say, it is a badass game and you can see the influences from PoP
Wtf have u not played modern games lol
Completely fell in love with this game, from the combat, to the story, to the music, to the lovely environment. True combat can be kinda tedious but it's also very unique an entertaining. Elika is actually a secondary character that u care about an isnt annoying like u would think. Sucks we couldnt get a real sequel tho an was stuck with some half-ass dlc
the music was fantastic.
man, i really want a sequel to this game with the same art style :(
me 2
Yeah me too
Me too
Am I the only one who likes the combat?
nydalizer no me to I'm playing it right now
I like it also, but these die-hard fans don't like to use their brains in combat.
Robert Maxim i just playing this game now for second time (just to play some older games) and i was playing two thrones before (also second time so i knew this games) and i played tt without using combos cause i don't have oportunities to usem them but in this pop i liked how this combos look so I'm always using them not just pressing square for sword or triangle for elika (I'm playing on ps3)
I like both systems but I think that in pop from 2008 more suits to game than that one in previous games
You have options but you don't have oportunities to use them
No, I prefer it...
I loved it..
6 years later this game still holds up. Love it
8 now
Altair401 98 it's time for sequel!
10 years still strong
Sure is. Very underrated. Lots of people misunderstood the lives/challenge mechanics imho.
I just downloaded it this past Black Friday for, like, $4 - and I'm enjoying it.
Awesome game, one of the best of last gen. Really grows on you the more you play. Elika is great.
***** the gen of consoles before xbone and ps4, you know, like the wii, 360 and ps3.
Xbox 360 and Ps3 is still the current gen... and its not going to die any time soon. Especially with the lack of games for the next-gen consoles. Give next-gen time to grow their gaming library in 1-2 years, then yes xbox 360 and ps3 will eventually die out. I have to ask though, since the game is on sale for 2.49$ on steam, is it worth getting?

Anita Bennet sometimes developers make a great games but gamers ruin them. and generally it's the opposite
This game was good, all it needed was more combat.
Harith Azmi yeah, this game had potential to be a lot more awesome. I wish POP WW is remade with this kind of GFX. Dahaka would look amazing in these textures.
This game is shockingly beautiful even over 10 years later
Man..this game grabbed me by the feels and dragged me where it wanted
There are moments when music and the visuals alone makes your heart melt
At the time i was really sensitive
Considering the fact that i played this game 3-4 years ago
Can't remember correctly
Who else cried during the ending when..you know?
That ending tossed my heart out of the window,because they killed YOUR COMPANION like c'mon
Times like these makes you curl up in a corner and stay there for a week
You know you can save her, right? After the credits roll, you can bring her back :)
Totally agree with that. U can be in love the this game easily. My favorite game since 2008 and i still play with this game.
This was a very good game. Too bad there won't be another...
Bought this game years ago and finally got around to playing it through. I don't know where the reviewer came up with the 8 hr. figure: I think it took me at least twenty. And the ending was rather morbid and unexpected but I liked it.
I loved this game. I would recommend it to anyone. Beautiful art style, huge exploration, tons of gameplay, Dark Souls style boss fights. This is what Ubisoft does best, and they did it in this game.

In difficulty no but in style yes.
Don't forget the awesome dialogues.
If you want to amp up the difficulty go for the achievement Be gentle with her (you have to complete the game with fewer then 100 saves from Elika). Or do the speed run achievements like vale runner.
what the hell how is this 6 years old now...
+Walter “Heisenberg” White It's 7 years old going on 8, and the pizza you threw on the roof is 5 years old
Boddah You're god damn right.

i played and enjoyed all the prince of Persia games amazing franchise and i agree 100 percent bring it back Ubisoft they should put Assassin creed on hold and bring back prince of Persia.
w_R Andrs , I have even played 'PoP: The Fallen King' to complete the storyline..
in the sequel,,, the Prince will be guided by ormazd
Got this game today, not sure why I waited so long this thing is downright beautiful, the engine is marvelous. Hard to believe it came out in 08. Wish Ubisoft kept this Prince series going
Played this game in 2016, it was quite good
I wish they would make it able to be played in ps4
IT still holds up to this day...one of the most beautiful games iwe ever played
+Denoctus ggwp no re

This needs a sequel
some thing magical about its artstyle you got that right "memories"
Nolan North was hilarious in this game, great voice actor!
Playing this in 2022. Still great.
I love the thrill of success when you jump around and just basically chain a series perfectly
My only complaint about this game was how little combat there really was. Pretty soon I was intentionally slowing down and waiting for enemies to spawn so I could fight them. It's a hit and miss game, an awkward phase that showed great potential, and like the reviewer said it would have made an excellent sequel
they had to stick to the roots. the originals also had less enemies and more on exploring
I bought this for 50 cents in 2009 xD
Played this two years ago now finished it aug2013 it was a good game really wish there was a sequel.

Don't we all, Prince? Don't we all... Words to live by.

Btw is he even a Prince? Maybe they should established the actual game title a little bit more because i didn't remember they called him a prince.
But is a good game in the franchise and i am happy to have played it.
Actually pretty much agree. Great game. I enjoyed it a lot.
if this game really had graphics as shown in its 1st trailer....this game might be the best prince of persia game
This is the first game I've ever played start to finish in one sitting. I couldn't stop! This game needs a damn sequel NOW!!
Yes, there's a new one set in the Sand of Time universe coming out.
I compeletely agree with this review. I also like that I am at my second playthrough, and it feels very different because I chose a compeletely different path.

and i wouldn't let the not being able to die part put you off, to be honest if every time you fall you died you be very very sick of it very quickly.
in my opinion its a great game.
i happen to own it but i would reccomend a rental since the game is short with not too much replay except finding the light seeds things.
i thought the old POP were way better. this game is less puzzle oriented. there are minimal puzzle sections and when they do appear they are short and not very difficult.
the meat of this game is the enviornments, the great free running action, and the epic boss fights which are kinda like ani-matrix style.
We never found out if the Prince ever found his donkey.
recently started played this,, and just finished it... the Artistic Graphics of this aged well... although the combat - repetitiveness, and separation from normal mode is a bit let down
Yes as everyone says, this game looks stunning, the world, the artstyle, everything is just graphically amazing. As the reviewer said, this games isn't much for the gameplay and combat, but more about the experience. The only reason (i think) is because i want to see what happens at the end, since i have a lame computer and i can only run this on lower settings getting decent framerates.
I agree! I personally like this a lot more then the old Prince of Persia.. I love how they changed it.. I also love the new artwork style.
The art style looks great, but without any form of progression or difficulty, i have to give it rent. This holiday season has had a lot of great buy-worthy games like Left 4 Dead and FallOut 3, but like all the holiday seasons there are a lot second thoughts like Mirrors Edge and Persia. Good year though.
I definitely agree that the lack of challenge is a real put off, but I'll give the game another go to see if the story gets any better.
One of the few occasions IGN reviewer was more relatable and rational.
I actually love this game a lot despite it being too easy, it's an experience every game needs to have at least once.
Some parts of the game struggled me a bit especially the green plate .
i prefer old prince of persia games but this isn't bad just wish they would maybe make a remake of price a persia the two thrones with better graphics and maybe a co-op mode but i don't think that'll ever happen.
I loved the series. I played all of them. Still good in my opinion. However this prince of persia was my favorite next to sands of time and i will tell you why.
1). The ART
2). A NEW prince. As he mentioned before EMO prince i do not miss. Sorry.
3). The story
4). The music
Now for my Cons.
I agree with everyone about the combat. I just wish you could have died in the game. Them raising the difficulty level would have been nice. Them taking this out of the game did hurt it. I will admit this, but you have to look at it in a different way compared to the other. For instance, The game Journey is both beautiful, great characters, and fun story no combat in the game but it didn't stop people from enjoying it.
In all I loved this Prince of persia. I wish they would remake it with the same art style in HD and up the combat to HARD for those who want a greater challenge like Elika won't be used or something. :)
Same thing as Shadow of the Colossus. This is a piece of art, rather than a video game. One of the best cell-shading graphics so far, amazing story, awesome soundtrack, and an unexpected beautiful ending make this the best of the series for me.
@OcelotBE they want to make a sequel so ...
@AnthonyTheAwesome500 thats right, and almost so was the 4th one wich didnt please me pretty much tough the environment design was badass..Id say the first one was adorable, the second one was awesomly great and the third one completes this circle
But forgotten sands was kind of short and simple, and the 4th one just doesnt find its place and ration in this franchise.
@Claverleykid1 what film? the film was about sands of time, not forgotten sands.
are you sure this is 2008 year game, it beat most of game today, especially the graphic is much better than my nintendo switch
9.3
Good thing I preordered it.
And I like that they used Drake from Uncharted Drake's Fortune for the voice of the prince (love that guy).
@AskiKayaman
i have the same issue, however i still havnt finished it. i did have more fun with ''the forgotten sands'' only issue i have with that one is the story, sand monsters, recall glowing sand, but it isnt the sands of time? but some other magical sand. i dont get it.
and the ending was surprising but it was what anyone would do after having played
They really make a sequel to this POP version; it was beautiful, not a lot of combat but that's ok cuz combat itself is amazing and the world is beautiful to travel through
well imo its a very good PoP position. i has that Arabian feel to it. Nonetheless the difficulty ridiculously easy :D. However this one goes in pair with SoT for me. WW is still my fav :D. The PoP that's bad is imo FS. Feels like they made it to go next to the movie
This game, despite its flaws, is excellent for stress relief, since it’s easy, and has gorgeous visuals!
Absolutely. And I always get the feels when Elika dies. One of the best written side characters in video games. Rasia from TFS is annyong and is just a plot device-literally you use her as a sword. Farah is annoying af. Elika is so relatable and lovable. Even if they gave you and ending choice-like you see a donkey and you are allowed to leave. I would still save Elika.
@PioloAskal2009 Yes and forgotten sands is set in the sands of time world. It would be silly for them to make a game of a movie based of a game.
This is the first Prince of Persia game I ever played🤣,And I loved it
Best game in the series, this should be rated as a piece of art.
I got to say that I had some trouble getting into it, but once I did, I thought this game was a lot of fun. Even though the controls are very easy and the game is very forgiving, it's still a lot of fun to nail combo's.
And this video really doesn't justify the games graphics. It looks a lot smoother and more detailed on my TV.
@Huskeyyyyy
for the story, the imagery, simply playing through it is a joy its self
The artstyle in this game is one of the best I've seen ever. No exaggerations. Ubisoft should make more of this.
I really miss this game 🥺
This game is love ,combat ,music ,story ,funny talk ,anything that's why I love ubisoft but now why they are forgot about this kind price of Persia this is different then assassin creed plz make another game like this
looks amazing, played prince of persia since the very first 2D one. I want this!
Still worth a rental...and by the way, there are games that are way shorter than 8 hours.
I've never had a problem with a game being easy. If it's really fun, I can play for hours. If it's too hard, I'll still work through it, but I tend to take breaks, and come back.
This game is currently $8 for PS3 and $5 for XBox...Why don't I have it yet!?
It's a very enjoyable game, though it's quite easy, combo's look cool, gameplay remains cool, though it takes about 12-16 hours for you to completely play the game. So, if it's somewhat 15 to 30 euros/dollars(or cheaper of course), buy it, it's worth it.
love the graphics, i haven't spend much time in this game about 2/3 hours now, and i can't get really in to it..i'm gonna keep on trying tho.
Bought this as one of my first Xbox 360 games. I sold it online along time ago to buy another game. Now I kind of wanna replay it...
i saw this for £3 used in my local supermarket. Thanks very much, why not?
I played it in 2008, but it's still one of the most beautiful games i've ever played
Ah I remember finding this disc in my room while cleaning, threw it out
I played through the entire game, not because of the story (which is good), not because of the gameplay (which is boring) but because of the visual art style. It's unique and colorful, couldn't stop discovering environments and recover their true colors from corruption.
gotta say, im dissapointed in my 99 cent putchase. thought it was like the older ones
Well said, 5dollaz. The harder the challenge the sweeter the victory.
idk maybe ill get it , or maybe ill get kh 358 i have to really think about it
that happened to Warrior Within to some extent. Sands Of Time didn't sell as much as Ubisoft wanted (despite the fact it made to Greatest Hits) so Warrior Within was made action-oriented so that more people would enjoy it. This made the game lose a great part of it identity and charm. most of the action in the game is pretty mindless, and the amount of times you pass though the same spots is annoying, by the way, Still a great game, though.
A little bit non challenging, but simply... Awesome! Perfect! I grove up on the PoP games!!!
Why did you leave IGN ? This is one of the best reviews I've seen, really.
