Well, not mind-blowing.
But damn good.
Wall-running and jumpy jumping, time rewinding and enemy stabbing.
Although he has a stupid posh English accent. Hello? Persia?
Good complex jumpy puzzles, amazing graphics, cool combat - although I think it'll get a little repetative in the end.
And very fluid.
But he dies way too easily. Lara could fall twice that height without a scratch.
But she sucks, so meh.
Yummy.
> playing prince of persia, im stuck? is anybody on line that can help
> me????
yeah try and tear yourself away from where you are.
I can't read your mind.
And the water is so beautiful, and the way it weighs down your stupid trousers after you get out is very cool.
I think the dialogue between you and Farah is really cool. Stuff like "there's a ledge just below you" is very cool and came at the perfect moment. Also Princey talking to himself is pretty funnah.
Near the end you have to do without it, and the amount of silly mistakes and wrong jumps you make is amazing.
I wouldn't rate it above Ico, though. No way.
Love the pulling levers and jumping over blades, stuff like that.
Now i've got the hang of fighting it's easy. each kind of baddie has a easy way to be killed, so once you work that out there easy to kill even if there's loads of em.
Good game but too short, just like ICO.
I think the accents are alright. At least they are well acted - remember it could be like Onimusha/Shenmue/Resident Evil...
All the jumping, wall-running, time-screwing and even that time-freeze move you can do, where you zip round the room taking all the frozen enemies out with ease.
Fantastic game - moreso because it wasn't hyped up like hell.
Who cares if it's short? You get the original to play after that!
combat is a bit shallow...and it's way too short
