For those of you who beat the new Prince of Persia, what did you think?

I thought it was one of the greatest ending I've seen. You saved the world at the cost of Elika's life. Everything is quite, the prince does not speak but the player knows what he is thinking or feeling. I like how they let you take control of everything at the end. You could just turn off your Xbox 360 and think that the world is saved.

But when I was carrying her to the stone, I was like, this could not end like this. I want a happy ending WTF. With the world saved but her dead it just didn't feel right. So even though knowing what would happen, I brought her back to life and let the world burned because I've grown attached to her.

I think Ubi Soft did an exellent job with the ending.

One of the best ending's in a video game ever. It was really unique for a video game ending imo.

Loved it... when you realize what you have to do to bring her back, basically undo all the hard work you put in, you were like WOW. I wish the dialogue throughout the game was a bit less cheesy though, but the ending was one of my favorite endings in all of gaming. Sets up for PoP2 quite nicely there, which is one of the intentions for sure. Overall a very awesome game... I'll never find 1001 light seeds, but got nearly all the other achievements.

i liked it, but I would have also liked the option to walk away and leave Elika, rather than being forced to break the seals again. I suppose you could just say I could have shut the console off, but that's not the same thing as having a legitimate second ending.

I loved it. You worked so hard to seal him up, then she dies again. It would be hard not to fall in love with a beauty like that who saved your ass so many times. Watching the castle crumble and then seeing that monster fly by you as you carried Elika away in your arms was awesome.

Agreed. Maybe a bit of an option, like to walk out the way you originally came would have been better, but I would have brought her back anyways. The ending moved the game much higher up in my opinion.

Just finished it like 10 minutes ago.... That had to be one of (if not already) the best video game endings I have ever seen in my entire life. I LOVE how the prince made that choice in the end and how the last line of the game was the same as the beginning one. I've never played a PoP game before this but I'm waiting for the sequel now!!

The ending is pretty good, but not as good as Shadow of the Colossus, which is what PoP most ideas based on. I guess now i have to buy the stupid epilogue coming this late Feburary.

I liked the ending alot..the only part that I didn't get is why wasn't Elika more upset when she realized what the prince has done. I can't wait to see the intro of PoP 2

Cheap, cliffhanger-for-the-sake-of-continuing-the-series ending. Games should begin and conclude as standalone experiences, regardless of whether or not sequels are planned imo.

I agree, the ending was one of the best. Very mysterious the way they just left it in your hands and you knew exactly what they wanted you to do.

The gameplay was rather repetitive though and I will not be getting the sequel unless some changes are made to the gameplay.

You are a god damn retard Prince of Persia games have been coming out since before Shadow of the Colossus was even an idea in someones head, and even before the console on which Shadow of the Colossus is playable.

I realllllly liked the ending of this game. Elika is hands down one of my favorite female characters of an video game. Not to mention the game is just beautiful.
