After long anticipation (and price drop :D) Prince of Persia is worth it.
As you spend much time traveling/purifying the land, you have to use the Prince's agility/acrobatics to maneuver around almost in-accessible places to the normal person. And you are also treated to the combat system as seems as if everything is real-time, almost as if watching a movie that you control.
Prince of Persia builds up a lot of character development and keeps you interested with a lot of dialogue between the Prince and the Princess, which allows you to detach from the action for a second and watch the two humor about how one needs another in order to survive, slowly hinting the growing attraction between one another.
The game might take several runs through if your a completionist like me to unlock all the trophies, but I kinda knew that I was going to play it through first grabbing what I could enough to enjoy the story as the game itself should be a very interesting series to follow...
