Okay. This game was pretty good. In fact, as far as the game itself went, it was quite possibly the best put together game ever. Not the best created mind you. But the only thing stopping it from being the best was the severe lack of rapping genies.

Okay, so the extra features were mediocre at best. But the game itself was terrific. It was beautiful and spiritual and had some sweet, sweet ninja-ness. However, this game is not for those of us who give up after two seconds of video gaming. As the famous Jewish philosopher Curly Howard once said, "This is confusing."

Mind boggling puzzles, initially difficult fighting and references to "Rushtar" may prove daunting, but don't give up. The game grows on you, literally! For example, after you figure out how to work the combat system, it becomes real fun to manipulate the space/time continuum with the Dagger of Despair (or whatever it's called).

As I stated earlier, the extra features are not so hot. The documentaries are fun enough, but the originally Prince of Persia is pretty stupid. Once you get past the silent-movie-era sounding music, the game pretty much revolves around falling down holes and screaming.

However, the game is worth it. It is fun in a Ninja Gaiden-ish way. In fact, this game is like Ninja Gaiden junior. So, until they make a game with a rapping genie, this will have to do.

WOW!! It's That Good

Bottom line -- buy this game.
Even if the gameplay sucked (actually it's incredible) this game would be worth buying just for the stunning and I mean STUNNING environments. The rooms are all incredibly beautiful. And I mean gorgeous like I would want to take a vacation in them or see them in a musuem. The attention to detail is stunning. FOr example the walls have intricate guildings that are unique from room to room, and the ceilings in some rooms have painted murals on them. The whole game is incredibly eye-catching and you want to keep playing more just to see new rooms.

Something other reviewers have neglected to mention somewhat is the story. The plot advances well in the gameplay and as a result of the gameplay without having to resort excessively to cut scenes to explain what is happening.

The game play is brilliant. They mix puzzles and fighting very well. The puzzles are interesting (a lot of them are interesting movement puzzles). They are supremely well designed and progress very very well. At no point in the game did I hit a frustration barrier with puzzles but I was always challanged and didn't feel like puzzles were repetitive or too easy.

The fighting a lot of people have commented on as a negative. I think the fighting system is a lot of fun. Firstly, the prince moves from one move to the next very seemlessly. The animation throughout the game is really incredible, but it really shows its strength in the fighting system. Secondly, the fighting really manages to comine acrobatic movement with fighting. The fight scenes can come across as really well choreographed scenes even though they occurr spontaneously.

I think the complaints other reviewers have registered about fighting stem from two issues. First, this is not a fighting game and you shouldn't approach it as a hack your way through a million bad guys (its a puzzles game and the fights are wonderful puzzles that mix movement and action). Secondly, the game has only a moderate learning curve for fighting. The hardest fight for me was early in the game and this was frustrating, but once I beat this fight I learned the fight system and subsequent fights became easier. It is worth it to stick through the early parts.

Finally the game integrates everything so so well. THe story advances well with action. THe animation is the best I have ever seen in a game and the prince's range of motion is stupendous. The music interacts well with the game, and the puzzles and action are amazing.

I have not been able to tear myself away from this game, and neither will you. BUY IT!!!

Really really awsome

This game is so cool. The graphics are average for a Xbox game. This game is pretty easy to beat. I havn't found a single glitch. I said this game is so fun for a few reasons: First reason, your charictor the prince can do the coolest fighting moves like like vaulting over a enemy and the stabbing it in the back, reason two, the Prince is a expert acrobat resaulting in being able to run acros walls, and other cool stunts. Reason three, It has a really awsome storyline. I really recomend this game, expecially if you like games like God of War.

i absolutely love this game . it's not just a "hack and slash " game , in which all you do is just relentless action . no . this game does have enough action in it with all kinds of cool combat techniques, but there's more to it then that. it also platforming in it , as the prince is very acrobatic , and you can pull all kinds of cool acrobatic moves , like running on walls , swinging from poles , jumping at a wall and then charging off of it to attack an enemy , etc. the game also has a big amount of puzzels to solve , and that was a great thing . they needed some thinking , and there was a big variety. like , there was a puzzle in which there was a beam of light leading somewhere , and you have to redirect it using mirrors spread around the level, and eventually the beam will touch a certain spot which will open a door . also , the platforming is great. as i mentioned above , you will have alot of acrobatic moves and you will need to use them to get to different places. for example , in some levels , you had to press a switch(which would open a door temporarily) , jump up between some walls , pass some traps , swing from a pole to another platform and then roll under the door before it closes. that's what i liked about this game , there's a big variety of action , adventure ,puzzle solving and platforming. that's what's special about this game , it's not just mindless action .also the atmosphere is pretty good. so , if you want a great gaming experience , buy this game . the only thing i didn't like about this game was that there weren't many characters (although the storyline was good) and there weren't many unlockables, and also the replay value wasn't big. but the game was still a very good one , and i enjoyed it very much .

good graphics fighting system is obscene

Not to sound like an idiot, but I have loved Prince of Persia since the beginning of the series. Prince of Persia 1 amazed me, Prince of Persia 2 seemed like it had to be the best game ever, and when Prince of Persia 3D cameout I couldn't wait!!

As it turned out 3D didn't really do much for the Prince franchise, but this game makes right everything that was (barely) made wrong with the prior attempt at 3d-izing Prince of Persia. If you're reading this review, you've probably already read 80 reviews that say this game is the game of the year, BUT THERE IS A REASON EVERYONE IS SAYING THAT!! This game is an amazing amount of fun, and was definitely worth the $50 I spent to buy it.

The Sands of Time feature is amazingly cool, and is probably the most exciting thing to add to gaming since bullett time in Max Payne. The Prince's swashbuckling kickass sword play is sooooo much more fun than shooting, punching, or jumping on (think Jak and Mario) your enemies!! All video games should have swords as mandatory weapons because they are such a better weapon (you all know how much cooler Pirates of the Caribbean was than the Matrix Revolutions and it's because of the swords!!).

My biggest complaint about this game is the health meter. The designers should have stuck with the typical life potion bottles that the Prince games have always had, but whatever, it's not really that big a deal.

I know this isn't the most descriptive review ever, but you've probably already read those in the gaming magazines. This review is simply to say from one gamer to another that this really is a fun and enjoyable game. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Overall Great Game

This game became one of my first addictions. I was hooked on this game, the voice acting..the excellent scenary..the storyline. Everything just fit together exactly how it should of. I was a little frustrated that the boss fight was pretty easy..The whole game makes up for that though, this is a must buy for any xbox owner

Great game, but easy and hard!

The game has great graphics but could have been a little easier at some points and harder in other areas.
