Nah man. This was a one and done deal, but now a brand new POP game is coming out next year in a Metroidvania style. Is the game I'm more stoke to play.
One of the coolest things in my opinion is that the art still holds up a lot of the time because of the style the chose. This is why I prefer stylized.
Yeah I don't get it the game is so good.The platforming is perfect good battle mechanics and it's beautiful to look at.its my favorite prince of Persia
The battle system got a bit repetitive after awhile, but I really enjoyed the game overall, and it had one of the best and most memorable endings I've ever seen. It's such a shame that there's never been a sequel, because I'd love to know what happened next.
I feel like Prince of Persia 2008 wanted to capture the original direction of Prince of Persia in a 3D fantastical way, only platforming and a bit of slashing combat. And i LOVE IT !
This was my first Prince of Persia game and I really enjoyed it. It just always felt like it had so much more potential to build upon, but never was given the chance 😢
I just replayed it a few days ago, I didn't play many video games in my childhood/teenagehood but this one is the game on PC I like to go back to regularly, it's really conforting, I like to complete everything before defeating Ahriman and wander around in the kingdom, watching every beauty of the details, admiring the view from the towers, everytime I discover something new, and I keep wanting to be able to fly to explore all the ruins and rivers that we can't access to. Sometimes I feel anguish walking in this emptiness but I feel relaxed, at peace and it makes me dream, I go back to it when my everyday becomes stressful ^^ The many optional dialogues are great, beautiful and emotional, shame it's always the same animation but the game overall can be repititive, I know it all by heart so I don't have any challenge at all, but my favorite part is collecting all the spheres, it's easy and relaxing :) I think this is the first Prince of Persia I discovered, then I saw the movie then discovered the ubisoft games, this one is still my favorite and I have the soft spot for Forgotten Sands, its the vibe and the style of these 2 games that I prefer, Sands of Time is stilll awesome though, brilliant but I find it really hard to play sometimes, and its sequels are fine, but too edgy and too 2000s for me ^^
I also give credit to this game for being the last Prince of Persia game along with Forgotten Sands as being the last true PoP games that felt more aligned to Jordan Mechner, Sands of Time is still a masterpiece I say in the original trilogy!
I made sure this game was my 100th platinum I was only missing 3 trophies from over 13 years ago and it’s a game that stuck with me ever since. I loved playing through it all again and the epilogue and it remains in my top 5 all time
Problem with most ppl is they hate change. They wanted the same prince of persia formula forever. Seeing that happening now with the new 2d one coming out. So many complaints without giving it an honest chance.
I didn't even know they rebooted this in 2008, wow, just thought all of it was a continuation of Sands of Time. I'm also interested in the new NEW Prince of Persia coming out soon as well
The new one is a kinda throwback to the 1989 original PoP by Mechner, it's a Metroidvania and Ubisoft Montpellier developed. It's phenomenal. People are already saying it ranks up there with Hollow Knight. Absolute masterstroke of a game.
I loved this game when it came out. I always thought that the criticism was a bit overblown, and as time as gone on, more and more unfounded. The primary thing people complained about was getting saved by Elika, but all that really did was quick reload. Lots of games have systems like this today, and all it really did was make the game faster and less frustrating. Especially when dealing with the longer and more difficult platforming sections later on. The only real "bad" thing about it, was that it ended on a cliffhanger. Even then, plenty of games end on cliffhangers, so I don't think that's a real reason to hate on the game either. It's not like games like God of War reboot or FFVIIR are considered bad games because they ended on a cliffhanger.
You should look into el shaddai ascension of the metatron. It’s an action game with an interesting premise that many games have done before with an insane art style.
Thanks, it looks great! I went and searched and found a remaster on Switch upcoming! Also, it reminded me of Gris for the platforming aspect of it. I'll love this. Thanks again.
One of my top ten games of all time. Got this for Christmas and was one of the first games I got for PS3. Platinum’d it. Man, I remember having to chain a large combo and another trophy having to do every possible combo lol
Seeing a recap of the endings did bring tears to my eyes, I absolutely Loved this game. I also played the original back in 1993-94, as well as playing the Sands of Time series on Gamecube. I started the Forgotten Sands, but never really got back to it, and always intended to.
honestly... the new prince of persia games don't have the charm of the old ones, I'm still waiting for a miracle to happen and they release a sequel to this reboot, nice video by the way
Usually reboots come about when the original story hasn’t been concluded yet and abruptly disregards it but this reboot came when the trilogy was concluded. Why people were so against it is beyond me.
It's the only PoP game I replayed more than 10 times. The rest not that much. I love the views and the interaction between the 2 characters. The plot is also interesting. Different from the original. Furthermore, the use of the animation style ensured that the game will look great years after it's release. Would love to see a sequel. A side note. The powers Elika has are from Ormazd.
I loved the art style from day one. It's just phenomenal. Ubisoft should've called it anything other than Prince of Persia. I don't even remember the dude ever mentioning that he's a prince. Elika is a princess so that's something...
Great game, really inspires creativity. I personally didn't like the ending because it felt like such a betrayal but most people seems to like it so I guess that's on me. Nice video, glad to see people care after such a long while since it was released. Have a nice day!
I always felt it was such a compelling ending, since video games almost never dive into the ending being so filled with despair or misery. For games with such a specific narrative through-line-to have what is considered a doomed ending is interesting; especially for an action-adventure game. The world is not saved. Things do not get better wholly. And it just leaves it like that. I find that compelling.
If you're not a main PoP fan like me, this version is fire on it's own. This is why I am here, waiting for a REAL sequel. You know, REAL OPEN WORLD interaction, badass terrains and fighting mechanics.
I played this game as a kid and was so pissed off by the cliffhanger ending because I never knew about the expansion until now Thank you so much for being to my attention the real ending to this story
This was my faviourite Prince of Persia game. Really wish Ubisoft would release the game for modern platforms, whether as part of the streaming service or a remaster. As a huge PoP fan, I have preordered The Lost Crown. I would love it if they kept the 2D style of that game, but continued this Prince of Peria as a seperate thing.
Yeah, it was. I had some issues with it, but overall, I quite enjoyed the game. This is coming from an oldschool Prince of Persia fan as well (since the first one on NES).
Maybe I should try this again. I didn't like it much when it first came out, coming fresh off the Sands of Time trilogy this game felt really awkward to play, like it was from a completely unrelated series
Strong caracters, a good story and a nice game engine, however it didn't had the best execution. I loved it, but i can see why it didn't continue on, i would love to see this story moving forward.
I remember this game. I was at the hospital at the time after I had surgery, it was a good time waster. I tried to get every achievements but couldn't. The story was alright, but that ending is... depressing, I never tried out the expansion but seems I wasn't missing much, I mean, what was the Prince even trying to accomplish here? Putting the whole world at risk just so he could "get the girl" makes him look stupid and pretty selfish. As for my thoughts on removing death, I didn't mind. On one hand, you don't have to sit through a game over screen and load a save file to return to the point where you died previously. On the other, it makes the game feel way too short. Personally, I thought the combat was pretty repetitive, every enemy felt the same, except the Warrior. I feel like it could have been more fun. Despite it's flaws, I like the game and I wouldn't have mind a sequel.
The foundation was solid, but stripping off the combat mechanics and making them all a one on one affair, was such a dumb decision. There's a reason why a lot of people still say that Warrior Within was their favorite. The acrobatic combat skills of the prince was unparalleled In that game.
I've only just downloaded it... honestly didn't know it existed haha! But I'M LOVING IT. Why? Because it's SO MUCH like Shadow of the Colossus, my favourite game of all time. But better graphics and more about parkoor.
awesome pop game, i loved it when it was released, i love graphics, more enemies would be better, i could replay again, but still 5th among all pop games on my list...
I had a different experience. It felt like a mix of a time event gameplay and a railway button masher. I didn't like the feeling that you had little control over your character. Even if you were fighting a boss or enemy you had to press the "right buttons" to get over the said enemy. Plus the fact that there was no character development throughout the game. Very repetitive. So it was overrated for me.
The 2008 Prince Of Persia is nice, and the cell shaded graphics is nice too. But my biggest problem is that this wasn't a challenging action platformer like the rest of the POP games I've played. They weren't anything else to do here, except for the main story mission. Not dying in the game also ruins the challenging experience. Even the bosses weren't fun too. You fight the same combos that you deliver the enemies. This could've been a good game if they added side quests to do, and some more hidden secrets and collectibles to earn. What's even more disappointing is that you get the true ending by giving us DLC for this game.
The game itself was fun and nice to look at for the most part, though combat was pretty bland and there weren't enough enemies/enemy variety. The real problem is that it was a reboot for a series that was too recent to need one. The series wasn't old enough at that time for people to even remotely be okay with a reboot. It's another case of "good game, but should have had a different title".
I tried to play this soooo many times...and just couldn't. So glad the new title goes back to the original style instead of a sequel. Don't even get me started on the bs dlc Glad you liked it and more power for being objective and being able to find good...but idk how a game can hold up today when itnwas dated on release
Thanks so much for watching! Were you a fan of the 2008 Prince of Persia reboot? Would you have wanted to see a proper sequel to it? Let me know!
I’m glad at least we’re getting a new Prince of Persia game soon.
Nah man. This was a one and done deal, but now a brand new POP game is coming out next year in a Metroidvania style. Is the game I'm more stoke to play.
One of my favorite games ever...
Definitely underrated
I really want a sequel!
Yeah man. I'd definitely still take a sequel.
One of the coolest things in my opinion is that the art still holds up a lot of the time because of the style the chose. This is why I prefer stylized.
Arstyle > Graphics
Any day of the week.
Also featuring a gorgeous Inon Zur score
This was honestly my favorite prince and the fact that he never got another game pisses me off.
I never thought I would find another person who enjoyed this game. I legit thought I was the only one.
Me too. Even among the POP community this is underrated.
@@ak-t7d6fit’s well regarded in the POOP community though 💩
I really enjoyed this game. Visually it’s amazing and still holds up not to mention the ost is just great.
Yeah I don't get it the game is so good.The platforming is perfect good battle mechanics and it's beautiful to look at.its my favorite prince of Persia
We're here
The battle system got a bit repetitive after awhile, but I really enjoyed the game overall, and it had one of the best and most memorable endings I've ever seen. It's such a shame that there's never been a sequel, because I'd love to know what happened next.
Yeah the game as a whole got repetitive. You did the same thing over and over.
The Fallen King for the DS. That is your sequel. Though it's reviews are mixed.
@@Ninja07KeatonThat game is awful.
@@JamesslashTry Mixed reviews imply as such.
best and most memorable endings? Nah the ending was BAD (the majority agrees). the ending IS memorable, but in a bad way.
I feel like Prince of Persia 2008 wanted to capture the original direction of Prince of Persia in a 3D fantastical way, only platforming and a bit of slashing combat. And i LOVE IT !
Now that you say it, it feels like it, good observation
This was my first Prince of Persia game and I really enjoyed it. It just always felt like it had so much more potential to build upon, but never was given the chance 😢
Dude same here. 😢
I think you would like Shadow of the Colossus... the games are extremely alike.
@@allebasaiadartse3951 bro give me some masterpiece games simmallar to SOTC that are not from team ico plaese i need something alike
Yep, I liked this game a lot. It was my first PS3 game that I got with the system. Holds a very special place in my heart! :)
my favorite game eveerrrrrrr i replay this game every damn year
I just replayed it a few days ago, I didn't play many video games in my childhood/teenagehood but this one is the game on PC I like to go back to regularly, it's really conforting, I like to complete everything before defeating Ahriman and wander around in the kingdom, watching every beauty of the details, admiring the view from the towers, everytime I discover something new, and I keep wanting to be able to fly to explore all the ruins and rivers that we can't access to. Sometimes I feel anguish walking in this emptiness but I feel relaxed, at peace and it makes me dream, I go back to it when my everyday becomes stressful ^^ The many optional dialogues are great, beautiful and emotional, shame it's always the same animation but the game overall can be repititive, I know it all by heart so I don't have any challenge at all, but my favorite part is collecting all the spheres, it's easy and relaxing :)
I think this is the first Prince of Persia I discovered, then I saw the movie then discovered the ubisoft games, this one is still my favorite and I have the soft spot for Forgotten Sands, its the vibe and the style of these 2 games that I prefer, Sands of Time is stilll awesome though, brilliant but I find it really hard to play sometimes, and its sequels are fine, but too edgy and too 2000s for me ^^
I also give credit to this game for being the last Prince of Persia game along with Forgotten Sands as being the last true PoP games that felt more aligned to Jordan Mechner, Sands of Time is still a masterpiece I say in the original trilogy!

moar liek Princess of Arabia amirite
Man, have I not played this gem in years... gotta replay it one day, absolutely loved it back when it first came out
I really want the continuation... all these years I am dreaming of it!!!
Me too, me too, novel, comic, short animation, smaller game, anything
It was a beautiful and fun game, to me none of the other games of the series that I've seen match it.
I didn't even know they rebooted this in 2008, wow, just thought all of it was a continuation of Sands of Time. I'm also interested in the new NEW Prince of Persia coming out soon as well

@@titusgray4598what’s the new one called you’ve piqued my interest
@@omegamanGXELost Crown
One of the complaints I had with this game is the unfinished story we get even with its DLC. It could have been more.
As a casual gamer, I absolutely loved this game. Always wished there was a proper sequel.
Really loved this game. Wanted the plot to continue.

I need to play this. Looks like PoP x ICO!!!! And my niece is called Elika lol we Iranians
Just completed it 100% (other than the dlc). Loved it.
You should look into el shaddai ascension of the metatron. It’s an action game with an interesting premise that many games have done before with an insane art style.
I love that game and no one ever knows what I’m talking about when I bring it up lol
So underrated man
Thanks, it looks great! I went and searched and found a remaster on Switch upcoming! Also, it reminded me of Gris for the platforming aspect of it. I'll love this. Thanks again.
sounds Jewish
One of my top ten games of all time. Got this for Christmas and was one of the first games I got for PS3. Platinum’d it.

Trueee

I just Platinum trophied this game and finished the DLC. It's part of my childhood
I loved this one it has the best platforming and it's absolutely gorgeous to look at.
I enjoyed this game a lot; it’s been quite a while. I’m considering playing it again-it truly inspired me. A sequel would be fantastic.
i am still playing it from time to time
They gotta bring prince of Persia back. The two thrones of one of my favourites
honestly... the new prince of persia games don't have the charm of the old ones, I'm still waiting for a miracle to happen and they release a sequel to this reboot, nice video by the way
Thanks for all the work you do Jordan, the amount of consistently great content you're putting out is extremely impressive
ur welcome
I played it fully on the ps3 and it was f-- amazing, the fights, the parkour mechanics, combos and ect. It was just amazing
Finally someone says it! Shinin’ the light of Ormazd on these haters! ☀️
As a PoP fanatic I loved this one just like the other entries.
This was my first Prince of Persia game ever, and I really enjoyed it
Usually reboots come about when the original story hasn’t been concluded yet and abruptly disregards it but this reboot came when the trilogy was concluded. Why people were so against it is beyond me.
My best game always pop 2008 😢
This is the only game that I know of which is based on Zoroastrianism. Definitely a mythology that needs more representation in gaming.
It's shame we won't get a sequel
It's the only PoP game I replayed more than 10 times. The rest not that much. I love the views and the interaction between the 2 characters. The plot is also interesting. Different from the original.

I would love to see a sequel where prince tries to fix everything and win her back and finally accepting to let her go.
I really love the visual style of this game.
I had a good time playing back n da day from wut I can remember.., still have d game but only played thru it once a whil ago
Great game, really inspires creativity.
I personally didn't like the ending because it felt like such a betrayal but most people seems to like it so I guess that's on me.
Nice video, glad to see people care after such a long while since it was released.
Have a nice day!
Huge fan of PoP 2008

I played this game as a kid and was so pissed off by the cliffhanger ending because I never knew about the expansion until now
Thank you so much for being to my attention the real ending to this story
Fucking loved this game
Playing this game at the moment in 2K over 120 fps in Windows 10, awesome game.
Ahead of its time in my opinion.
Game is fantastic and the Sigur ros trailer was one of the best video game trailers ever.
This was my faviourite Prince of Persia game. Really wish Ubisoft would release the game for modern platforms, whether as part of the streaming service or a remaster.
As a huge PoP fan, I have preordered The Lost Crown. I would love it if they kept the 2D style of that game, but continued this Prince of Peria as a seperate thing.
I liked that fresh vision. Even, Sands of time Trilogy is a masterpiece, this game was fantastic.
I like to play that game every year in the Christmas time.
The game looks and runs well on steam deck once you get it to recognize the controller
I loved this game and was so disappointed that it never got a sequel
do longer video games videos plz
i used to have the PoP DS game, the Fallen King, which uses this same design funny enough
i think it's the best PoP after the warrior within, but i don't understand why they didn't make a sequel
Yeah, it was. I had some issues with it, but overall, I quite enjoyed the game. This is coming from an oldschool Prince of Persia fan as well (since the first one on NES).
Maybe I should try this again. I didn't like it much when it first came out, coming fresh off the Sands of Time trilogy this game felt really awkward to play, like it was from a completely unrelated series
One of my first platinums
Its has a score of 81 on metacritic, do you think it should be higher?
cant wait for the triple fringemas in a few years
Strong caracters, a good story and a nice game engine, however it didn't had the best execution. I loved it, but i can see why it didn't continue on, i would love to see this story moving forward.
I loved this game, though it doesn't top warrior within imo. With that being said I wouldn't mind getting a sequel to this game

awesome pop game, i loved it when it was released, i love graphics, more enemies would be better, i could replay again, but still 5th among all pop games on my list...
This and sands of time is awesome!!

has anyone ever realized that Erika is the hottest chick ever created in 2008?
Wasn't this the game you couldn't die in
This game was pretty good. They really fumbled the ending tho
I remember my mom buying me this game when she said I was too young to play assassin’s creed, don’t think I ever got past the first level!
the games combat was the weakest part but the feel of adventure was top notch. Also the games end was amazing but the DLC ruined it
YES
This game was fantastic!
Wow... selling the ending? That's super trash on the publisher.
By all means - amazing game!
It was a fun game. Nothing amazing, but enjoyable.
The 2008 Prince Of Persia is nice, and the cell shaded graphics is nice too. But my biggest problem is that this wasn't a challenging action platformer like the rest of the POP games I've played.

im still a fan of pop 2008! but lore is kinda missing
I loved it
Halo videos???
This game's atmosphere was good and made it enjoyable but everything else sucked.
This game is awesome idc what anyone says
I tried to play this soooo many times...and just couldn't. So glad the new title goes back to the original style instead of a sequel.
Don't even get me started on the bs dlc
Glad you liked it and more power for being objective and being able to find good...but idk how a game can hold up today when itnwas dated on release
Thank you so much daddy for double stuffing my pink, and petit stocking this year! I can’t wait for tomorrows upLOADS ☺️♥️💦

Oooo 😮
As they're rebooting it again as a 2D game.... They just keep going backwards in graphics.
