When PoP: The Sands of Time was released I finished it with an indescribable enthusiasm. I loved the sequel, Warrior Within, but the 2nd sequel didn't satisfy my expectations.
Now PoP is back with a new story line and a completely revamped setting with the focus of the gameplay heavily on the platforming rather than the combat parts.
It is a good thing to see how Ubisoft achieved such a beautiful and artistic world using a never seen before art style. the gameplay is cool. you can do many things. the only problem is that it's too easy. sometimes too easy that becomes frustrating! I liked it anyways, and although it wasn't a top notch, the story was OK as well.
I come from Iran and there is Persian blood in my veins :D
It was so wonderful to see Elika do magic works. you know why? because all the magic words that she whispers are in Farsi language! sentences like "MASIR RA NESHAN BEDE" which means "show the way" in English or "DAR KHEDMAT-E ORMAZD" which means "At the service of Ormazd" in English and so on so forth...
Farsi means Parsi and Parsi means Persian in English. Parsi was changed to Farsi when Arabs took over Persia 1400 years ago, during which era Persians official language turned to Arabic :(. when we finally drove them out we started speaking Farsi again, but it was hard to change back completely becaue of the vast population. Enough with the history lessons anyways!
Ubisoft has certainly put some good time and work into this game. play it, and you won't be disappointed :)
