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.

Apparently the XB version has another 2 of the old games (the 2D ones). So, if you like retro crap, you'll won't mind waiting.
So it's like Blinx meets Tomb Raider except it's good. Damn PS2 exclusive. I'll have to wait for the Xbox version. Anyone got a 3 month hybernation pill?

*60% I meant.
Finished last night, but the original PoP didn't get unlocked for some reason. Me = sad.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Sort of.
The ideas are hardly original, but they're all pulled off fantastically - even though it only took 8 hours, it was great fun.
There's plenty of "woah, how cool's that?" moments, and the graphics and sublime. And the automatic dialogue between Princey and the girl is class - often funny.
The rewind function is a god-send. Stupid mistakes no longer end in pad-throwing and temper tantrums.
The only let down is the combat. It is VERY fun - but the battles go on too long (too many enemies) so it usually get boring before you finish.
You can battle loads of people at once by deiving your attacks between them, and there's a nifty head-jumping thingy. Plus you can jump off the walls, which is sweet.
You can also freeze enemies with the dagger, whereupon they go into slow-mo and you've got ages to kill them. You can put everything into slow-mo.
Or, you can do the mega-freeze which freezes everything and Princey slices them all up with one-hit kills.
Short. But so, so sweet.

Same here, I am considering buying it, or maybe I might it for xmas?
I've heard good things about this game but have seen very little of it.
I remember when everyone was saying that the time control features in blinx could only be done on Xbox because it had a hard drive, but it doesn't look that way now...
Is it definately all that then? I had it recommended to me by my girlfriend's Brother but I already bought three games on Friday, so I gotta wait till I get paid before I get another!

Yeah, way too short.
I've been taking it slow .. but still at about 80%. Damn.
But this means I can go back to play OoT in no time at all. Hurrah!

finished the game earlier this morning....
i thought it was awesome...combat gets a bit easy by the end...cos the sword gets so strong. got a bit frustrated by some of the exploration bits near the end -though that was more because of my own incompetence.
highly recommend this game...even if it is a bit short

Okay, the comabat is swish. I just sorted it out properly, now I rule.
But now you're getting people who you can't do the jumpy thing over, those who can break your blocks and those you can only kill with counters. Which takes all the fun away :(
Answer me this - why when they went into the ancient palance on top of the newer one (which was a mystery) did they then find the soldier's mess where he says people would have been a few hours before?
Silly.
