"How Fantastic is Prince Of Persia?"

Woo!

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.

yeah try and tear yourself away from where you are.

It depends where you're stuck, doesn't it?
I can't read your mind.

playing prince of persia, im stuck? is anybody on line that can help me????

And the cutscenes do deseve a mention, probably the most stunning I've ever seen. Even though there are only about 3 of them.
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.

The rewind thingy really is a godsend.
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.

Played it for 2 hours last night, at 25% already, so it's definatly a short game but very enjoyable indeed.

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.

Not quite as good as Ico for me, because the camera is a bit clumsy, but definitely the best platformer this (and last) year.

I think the accents are alright. At least they are well acted - remember it could be like Onimusha/Shenmue/Resident Evil...

Just borrowed this game off my girlfriends Brother. Looks like I'll be buying it too! It really is one of the best games I have played this year.

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!

yes it's a good game...but i don't think it deserves a 10/10
combat is a bit shallow...and it's way too short

ok, you can run on walls, swing on poles, sword fight!, it's everything a gamer wants and more. Rewinding time is the future, i'm telling ya. the superb graphics make up for the prince's cheesy accent. 10/10 for me.
