Prince of Persia (PS3)

I loved it. A lot of people complain about the graphic style and that you cannot die in the game. The kind of game is different but the story is really nice.

Brilliant game which can be challenging and frustrating at the same time worth buying

had fun playing this game. however I got stuck at one level and haven't played it since. I will probably try again after writing this review :)

Amazing game with great characters and awesome surroundings! The music is very good as well and fits perfectly with the game. Doesn't take too long to complete and the story has a nice twist at the end.

Why is this series so combat focused and why is this the most focused of all? Why even bother with the parkour?

Having enjoyed all the previous Prince of Persia games, right from the old PC versions to the PS2, surely the PS3 was going to be something fantastic right?? Wrong! Firstly, the game should be retitled "Irritating, smart-mouthed buffoon in Persia" - nothing princely or heroic about him i'm afraid! The loveable rogue character that was obviously the model for this prince fell way short of the mark and we end up with a childish and irritating boy instead. This kind of character works well in a 21st Century setting like Drake's Fortune, but what ever happened to good old fashioned heroic prince characters. Sorry - it doesn't work for me.Secondly, although the graphics and music are stunning, and the "sets" are beautiful, the gameplay is monotonous and boring. After you have healed the third or fourth area you realise that the routine is not going to change. Same vines, same slidy platforms, same hoops to hang on etc etc, baddies appearing in centre of a platform (very easily defeated, aided by the fact that you cannot actually die in this game which takes the challenge away completely!).There are simply no "rewards" to this game, no "oh I must keep playing, I have to see what the next bit is like", because the next bit is just basically the same as the bit you have just done, and the bit before that... You just seem to be bouncing and sliding around ruins, going through the same routine, before moving onto the next area and starting again. You cannot die because Elika rescues you, so there is not even that to challenge you.I may be showing my age here, but I remember when Prince of Persia had you actually taking part in a story properly, moving from one location and solving problems, killing baddies and finding your way out in and out of places to get to somewhere else to do something else, not just repeating the same action in the same pattern in very similarly set out environments that look pretty but you can't interact with! (would it have been too much to ask to have doors that you could go through?? to actually get inside the rooms of the ruined palace for example??)After 24 hours this game was traded in for something a bit more intelligent!I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who likes to think about the games they are playing, or at the least buy a trade in- don't pay full price for it - you will be wasting your money.

a good game with nice graphics was cheap and delivery was good happy with order

Good game play storyline & action, well game layout & cgi graphics
