It's been so long since I've enjoyed a Prince of Persia game. So long..
But then the next persia came out, it was tolerable, But I didn't have enough motivation to go through it. The THIRD persia came out, I didn't even touch it. But then I got this new prince of persia for christmas, and I gotta say, It's amazing.
Graphics-
The graphics are beautiful in all senses, the art direction is awesome, It just has a really good epic feel to it.
Story-
I'm actually digging the story in this one, I think it's pretty solid.
I won't spoil anything though.
Gameplay-
(Platforming)
Easy feel, it's a blast to platform as the prince, such awesome new mechanics to the game. You can never die, as the princess replaces the sands of time. This might turn some off, but the controls over all, are good and simple, its just really sensitive at times, and you can make a lot of mistakes. She's a real time saver if you ask me.
(Open World)
I was kinda iffy about the open world in the game, but it's actually fun to travel around due to a lot of platforming segments between temples. Kind of feels like shadow of the colossus.
(Combat)
I love the new combat system, its really epic. I love stringing combo's together, there is a lot of quick time events, but I really dig it. It makes boss/enemy battles a whole lot more epic and fun.
My over all verdict would be is that, any prince fan or any platforming fan should try out this game, at least once. It's a awesome first step into next gen.
