Ahhh... deep breath. Criticisms out of the way, there's still some enjoyment to be had in Prince of Persia. The plot and narrative - if you can look past the whiny, annoying American Prince - is fairly rich and worth seeing through to the (sadly swift arriving) conclusion.

The environments are a joy to look at and varied throughout, even if you're essentially doing the same on-rails platforming moves off of different shaped columns. PS3 and Xbox 360 owners who've never played any of the older Persia games might even wonder where all this negativity has come from, but for those who know the joy of the last-gen classics the Fresh Prince is quite simply a great big step, swing and hop, or button press, in the wrong direction for us. --- BFN, fp.

… Ahhh… deep breath. Criticisms out of the way, there’s still some enjoyment to be had in Prince of Persia. The plot and narrative - if you can look past the whiny, annoying American Prince - is fairly rich and worth seeing through to the (sadly swift arriving) conclusion.

Plus the visuals are obviously frickin’ gorgeous. The environments are a joy to look at and varied throughout, even if you’re essentially doing the same on-rails platforming moves off of different shaped columns.

Looks really refreshing to be honest, and reminds me a bit of Shadow of the Colossus!
