Rating: 8.5 Out of 10
Prince of Persia has been finally released for the PS3 and 360. For the record, this game has nothing to do with any of the other previous game and that every character is new and from a completely different area. This game has a great level design and a very beautiful art direction. The platforming is entertaining and the cinematic combat moves are very cool to pull off and watch. Also with Elika, you can get some very unique gameplay. However, the game is very, very easy, there are some minor annoyances, and it can get repetitive since you are doing the same thing over and over again in just different locations. Overall though, if you liked the other Prince of Persia games, you can like this one, but only if you go in with an open mind and realize that this is a different game and was meant to be that way.
Pros:
+ Intricate level design
+ Beautiful art direction
+ Platforming is entertaining and looks great
+ Cinematic combat moves are cool to pull off and impressive to watch
+ Elika’s presence leads to unique gameplay mechanics
Cons:
- Really, really easy
- The new prince isn’t a good leading man
- Some combat and platforming annoyances
