are there any good games out now, or will be out soon, that are like Prince of Persia? I am really enjoying this series. I heard Assasins Creed will be like PoP, is this true?

assassins creed is made by the same people who made PoP so it will probably be pretty similar, but i don't know of any others

the closest to them would probably be the tomb raider games. anniversary was recently released and is supposed to be quite good (though a game pad is recommended). theres a demo on steam if u want to try it out. oh and TR: angel of darkness...thats crap. im not sure about the others.

its a bit different, but try ENCLAVE, i loved it. its a fantasy/medievil hack/slash action/adventure with a few similar elements. brought to you by the developers of Riddick (which you should try as well, its also a more recent title of thiers)

SO am I the only one that enjoyed playing a skanky looking vampire in Bloodrayne 2?

Oh, and Riddick is good but it doesnt have that elaborate combat system it sounds like the OP wants.

if you're talking about 3rd person action games emphasizing on melee combat, you would find more choices available among console games. eg. DMC series, God of War series, Blood Rayne series ( which came to pc as well ), etc.

Actually Bloodrayne's Skanky biatch action seems rather appealing to me, but my wife just wouldn't understand it, and it can become an issue.....

Maybe you could try Inidana Jones and the Emperors tomb. Its kind of a dated game beacuse of its physiscs and graphics, but its a really a fun game to play, and it has almost every POP feature.

Ya, I can see that.  I think if your wife came in as you jumped on a nazi and sucked his blood making "nnnnnnnh nnnnnh ya nyaaaa slurrrrrrp" noises she would have issues.

Its the heavy weapons guy from Team Fortress 2.  If you havent seen the video for that character, go watch it now its one of the funniest things Ive seen thats game-related...shows off the great facial animation tech theyre using too.

There really aren't any games similar to the new Prince of Persia series. Tomb Raider comes pretty close because of the platforming...but even that doesn't resemble the platforming in Prince of Persia, and the combat's entirely based on shooting.

A game like Prince of Persia for PS2 :  God of War 1 and 2

For PC and other consoles : Tomb Raider Anniversary

Another good game like PoP is Assassin from the same guy who build PoP (ubisoft ) and the same principal role player .

But Assassin Creed will only launch on X360 and PS 3 !:cry:

You played sands of time, warrior within and two thrones? Try prince of persia 2008. Great game but only problem is you won't die at all. Other games are tomb raider series (one of the best series out there). Assassin's creed is the best third person game ever, graphics like never before, stealth assassination, combat, climbing buildings and lot more. Another game is mirror's edge. You have to run, run and run.Rarely fight.jump from one building to another, climb pipes and so on but a pity since it is first person view but you can hack it to third person view if you follow the instructions given in this website http://www.gamezine.co.uk/news/game-types/action/mirror-s-edge-third-person-view-activated-$1264156.htm But be careful while changing it to third person. If you do it wrongly, the game may fail to start and you have to install it again hope you have the disc and not borrowed it from a friend like I did.I foolishly did something and the game failed to start and I had to borrow the game from my friend again. Nice game . Hope this helps you .Bye . Have a nice day with gaming.
