Everything i thought it would be!
SO, let's get started.
Prince of Persia is not like it's predecessors, it's brighter, more cheery (at least more than warrior within) and I personally thought it was really fun to play. I would just lay back in my chair and tilt it back, fire up PoP and play an hour or so. With this said the game is not for everyone, a lot of people will hate it for the cell shaded graphics and the level of difficulty, or should i say easy?
Anyway, there are some things in the game that annoyed the HELL out of me, like when you jump on a pillar, and the prince decides "you know what, I'm not gonna turn the right way so that the player jumps to his death" and kill me he did, A LOT of times. And some other things we're "bad" or should i say not as good as the rest, like the four "powers" that Elika has, the yellow thingy (flying) is the biggest **** ever in a video game, i mean COMMON why would you ruin the fun with a baby mini game, it's like a cut scene but SUDDENLY a wall jumps up on you and you die and you have to start over... HATE YOU YELLOW PLATE THINGY !
Other than that the game was really good, even though 30% through the game a I already knew how it was gonna end (more or less that is) but I still think it was a good story nonetheless.
The voice acting was good, but the prince had some lines that felt like they were taken straight out of deadly weapon or die hard and it's hard to imagine those movies set in Persia ... while fighting the corruption if you get my drift.
Technically it seems that they ported it pretty good. I can't really use my PC as a milestone because i have a GTX280, 4gb ram and 3,16ghz (dual core) and that's well above the reqs and i was running it on 1920x1200 (everything on max, except AA that ruined everything). Only stupid thing was that you had to use the launcher to edit settings, which pissed me off.
To make a conclusion, Prince of Persia is refreshing with it's new graphics and easier gameplay (while easy, it has some fights that make u scream at the screen and almost kill your neighbor) and it draws you in with it's extremely atmospheric settings as well as healing corrupted lands is pure awesomeness (at least the first few times). The new features like magic plates are cool except for the damn yellow bastard.
So 9/10 for PoP, good game COULD have been better if it was a little less repetative and had more substance other than "extras" that include skins and concept art...
