The first PoP last-gen was amazing, but 2 and 3 never recaptured that magic. That was mostly because the surrounding elements became a punch-line rather than improved. I think with this Prince of Persia (yes you can have some bones to pick with the combat, not because it is "simple" but because it has certain hang ups that make no sense -- all the quick-time stuff for example) but the ending is ballsy, the art style is amazing, and the story is actually something worth following.

It's one of those sum of its parts type games.

I still got beef with the ending of this game.

Yeah, 3 was terrible. The reason I liked 2 b/c it was more of the same with the first one in terms of exploration... but the fighting was much, MUCH better in what you could do.

I couldn't take the 2nd one seriously for even a moment because of what they did to the Prince. It was a sad joke.

I agree with that word for word.

IGN: Epilogue Review

Prince of Persia Epilogue is very short experience with an ending that's less intriguing than that of its retail counterpart. The new additions are nice, but this is really just for fans of the first game who want a little more. And I do mean just a little. This shouldn't take any seasoned POP player more than two hours to beat. And though you unlock two new skins and there are new trophies/achievements, there's really no reason to play through the Epilogue a second time. Were this a $5 download, I'd be more inclined to recommend it, but $10 is a pretty steep price for so little added value.

Prince of Perisa

Just completed the game, i had original rented it at Blockbuster for $9. I was probably 3 hours from completing the game before i had to return it. Luckily it was on clearance for $14 at Target so i decided to just pick it up.

For one, i truly do love the idea behind the game's core and concept. Not everything needs to be Ninja Gaiden hard. The restarted several seconds before you died was genius idea. With that, the pacing of the game never went dull. So many say in many instances the game played itself with the Prince's acrobatics, but it was fine.

Now, the story was interesting and the ending was even more so interesting. I don't want to say it screams for a sequel, but I would be very interested in where they take the series next if it is a direct sequel.

Spoiler

To conclude, the story has interested me even though it was at the back seat of the game the entire time. I hope they don't change the formula too much for the sequel. We don't need a very hard game to make us happy.

Re: Prince of Perisa

I think that's the game the OP was talking about. And I loved it too, I liked how I could just play a couple hours without putting too much thought into it or it being overly difficult. It was more of an experience than actual gaming. I didn't download the epilouge because the gameplay was repitative, but I thoroughly enjoyed the whole game that came on the disc.

The first was all about one city split into sections, but they never felt connected. Would love to see if they decide on a connected city or continue down this path. With the way the retail ending went down, they could sort of just return us to the same city but in a different way.

They could add new enemies and elements to the cities, but we've explored these cities enough haven't we? Story wise, i want the god of light to appear since we've already seen the god of darkness enough times

This was one of the better next-gen games I've played. Nothing matches Drake's Fortune, but this was very good.

I never felt a reason to put the game down and I really enjoyed the slight differences in each area. What I didn't enjoy doing was collecting the orbs. It was really the only thing I couldn't stand. Once I had enough to open all areas, I stopped worrying about them. I just went for it and ended up with a speed demon trophy (not sure how long it took me to complete the game).

The ending was really f'ed up. I thought ignoring the orbs was the result of that ending, but research showed me that the ending is the same all the time - which is disappointing because what's the point of collecting the orbs? But I liked the ending and the game.
