    After being very disappointed in the direction in which Warrior Within took the Prince of Persia franchise, this new release is a positive step in some ways, but a negative step in others. The game goes back to the more lighthearted tone seen in Sands of Time and to some extent in the earlier games, and the physical and verbal interactions between the Prince and Elika are a lot to watch - in particular, there's a lot more dialogue between the two than between the Prince and Farah in Sands of Time, though most of it is optional and can be triggered at your leisure. What brings the game down, however, is its extreme simplicity. The environment is much less deadly than in earlier games. There are no death traps here, and only a handful of points where any timing is required; it's not quite autopilot, but it's close. Combat is weak, as well - although it's visually quite impressive, it essentially boils down to quicktime events. Overall, the game is worth experiencing for the dialogue and characterization, but the gameplay leaves much to be desired.

    this is the dullest game i have ever played. and considering ive been gaming since the 70s, thats saying something. the story is trite, cliche'd, and slow. so slow. in fact, the whole game is characterized by "slow"... slow, and EASY. easy puzzles, easy platforming, and easy combat. slow + easy = booooring. about the only thing this game has going for it is the graphics. it looks absolutely outstanding. but that isnt enough to make up for being a terrible game.

    Good old fashion fun. I wasn't a fan of Sands of time, which is what everyone seemed to like, but I did love this game. The story was just fun, kinda like reading a good book(Disclaim:I don't read books). The story is really what drives this game forward, not the combat. In fact the combat gets old fast, but the story is interesting, and the character development really adds something to the game that most games miss. If you want a game that draws you in and makes you wonder whats going to happen next, then you should pick this game up.
