That is exactly what I want; I’m getting the game tomorrow (if Royal Mail don’t want their postman dead) and cant wait to be honest.
I haven't got a proper game for ages, proper game as in a game with a good storyline, good characters and smooth gameplay. I've read Gamespot's review of the game and it's pretty promising, they describe alot about the game like how easy it is and how it's the story that really makes this game unique, this is exactly what I’m looking for because I’m not the best when it comes to completing games, as much as I like games I just cant seem to complete them, I always either get fed up with the game or I get stuck in the game.
"...at no point during Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will you get particularly stuck, if at all." - Gamespot
This has really convinced me that I will definitely enjoy this game and should complete it quite quickly. I've also read the preview for Prince Of Persia 2 and that’s what really made me want to play Sands Of Time, that is also why I don’t mind if it's dead easy because I want to get into the series so I can enjoy Prince Of Persia 2 just as much and understand the story.
In PoP you get cool moves.
In SC you get the same animations, over and over and over and over again.
At least in PoP you get vaguely differing enviroments and character interaction.
Or you get fat. Fat like a really, really fat cat. Really fat.
That or go to the gym, like me, and be a hypothetical game guru. Who knows a tiny bit about everything and nothing about most.
Ph34r it. Also, ph34r yourself and go to the gym if you even have a clue what ph34r means, and what the origin of the new revival of l33t is.
Also, ph34r holidays. Because they don't have gyms.
Buy games online... Much cheaper. I do, on occasion.
eg. PoP : SoT £19.99 from GAME on Oxford Street...
PoP : SoT £9.99 from Play.com (no delivery charge).
Wow.
Only problem is not having the satisfaction of going home and playing the game. Which rocks.
:-(
But, it means easy games are more of a challenge which is alright I guess.
I've had a rest from PoP now as i'm getting a bit bored with the repetitive puzzels and swinging.
It's a great game until you've completed 50%, then it starts to get a bit 'Same old, same old' - Like.
I'll come back to it soon but I wont be having long plays at it anymore, i've played 7 hours already!
When I have a game I dont really like to complete it straight away, I just take my time, only play it about 1 hour a day and basically pace myself.
I dont get £40 everyday you know so when I do I like to spend it on a game and I expect to play that game for at least a following 2 months.
Now, i've got two other PS2 games (MGS2 + Starky and Hutch) but I dont really want to start playing any of them TBH.
I will get a new PS2 game soon...
Cant wait for GTA SA!

Er, excuse me, I suck at computer games. Leave me alone.
Actually, I'm one of those 200 Hours to get halfway through FFIX people. Generally I'm level 100 quite quickly, but I have a bad sense of computer gaming. I'm hardcore, I search everywhere. Because I don't know where to go...
(From My Wife and Kids:
Dad: What are we?
Rest: Leaders!
Dad: What don't we do?
Rest: Follow!
Dad: Why?
Rest: 'Cos nobody knows where they're going!
Gotta love that.)

That's bloody ages.
It took me eight, and that was at a reasonable pace. PoP is one of the shortest games of recent times - you must have finished it quicker than that.
