Gaming roots grow deeper.
When the prince runs, jumps or climbs I was reminded of the first Prince Of Persia game. Controlling the prince and making daring jumps was probably the best part of the original game. That part of the game is very much alive and intact. Controls are also very easy to pick up because of the ingame tutorial "learn as you go" technique.
The most frustrating parts of the original game are gone. As you will discover, time can be rewind. This is the reason you can finish the game in about 10 hours.
The sound in the game is far from perfect. Music and effects could have been faded when there is plot speech going on. But effects are plenty and nicely timed with events.
My best memory of the game was probably climbing the tower of dawn. The detail around the tower is just amazing. In the horizon you can see other persian styled structures, these are extreemly well built. And you are making your way on a thin ledge high up in the air.
