I haven't done it on the PC, but I'm really enjoying it on the 360. I wouldn't expect much difference expect in control, but I'm really liking it.

It takes some of the best from other PoP titles (puzzle solving from newest 3 titles, one-on-one combat from the classic PoP) and brings them together into a decent story. The game also focuses a bit too much (IMO) on light seed collecting in order to progress through the game, but that allows you to explore the world without much consequence. All in all, I'd recommend the game, especially if you haven't played any of the series' games before.

Play all four of them...starting with Sands of Time....they are all awesome. Of course people are always gonna pick out little bad things, but in overall, very fun games and very well polished. A great time...

You should watch the video review. It does a good job of explaining the difference. This new Prince of Persia is pure platformer with approximately zero focus on any sort of combat; its gameplay resembles that of Ico for the ps2.

That's why I likened the combat to the classic Prince of Persia. Both games worked pretty much the same way, albeit one was in a 2D space. But I will watch the video -- thanks :)

Watched the review, and while I can agree somewhat that the gameplay resembles Ico, it seems to be only in the most superficial ways. Yes, a girl accompanies you on your quest (although it is the other way around in PoP) and the girl's power allow you to explore other areas of the world map (perhaps not so superficial) but one of the main parts of Ico's gameplay is to take care of the girl almost 24/7 where PoP requires almost none of that. I will still stand by my statement of the combat taken from classic PoP, which could be confused as almost non-existant (meant to focus on one enemy instead of multiple enemies, like in Sands of Time -- more quality over quantity I suppose).

Gotcha -- I understand what you mean. If a comparison with Warrior Within and Two Thrones is what you were looking for, then I agree that the new PoP isn't quite the same.

The Persia part has to do with the mythology of Ahriman, the god you have to re-imprison.

Played about 2-3 hours at a friends on his pc and its alot of fun, i personally think its better then the last few Prince Of Persia games. The gameplay is good, the graphics are nice, The Art Direction is great, and the controls are pretty well done. Not GOTY or anything, but i was pretty surprised!

The devs wanted to return to the "storybook" artistic direction of Sands of Time which, in my opinion, was the best one of the trilogy. The dark mature setting of Warrior Within and to a lesser extent Two Thrones was despised by many critics mostly because it was cheesy and had bad voice acting. I'd rather play Ninja Gaiden or God of War if i wanted something like Warrior Within, the Prince of Persia series is heading in a different direction.

Its not always like that, im just sayign my honest opinion man:P

Im wierd though, i enjoy foreign movies, jazz reggae blues rock and hiphop music and lots of wierd stuff:P

Im sure there are some games we both enjoy:P

I havnt played more then a few hours of the new prince of persia though, so i cant really give it a score or full opinion yet. But what i played was pretty enjoyable to me.

Where did Ubisoft mention this happen in real-world Persia? The game is based upon Persian mythology and fables which is exactly what Prince of Persia is, a persian style fable. It doesn't happen in Persia, it happens in a fantasy world fit to be in a persian myth.

Haven't played it. I don't know if I'll get it. Apparently its about 10 hrs long and very easy. Still it looks gorgeous.
