“Absolutely Awesome…but…” I got this game recently and I must say that it rocks! The graphics and gameplay are cool. You’ll be flying off walls, climbing on ledges, and everything else. There is one drawback which is the reason why I reated this at 3 and not 5. You are only able to use your keyboard to play this game, making it absolutely hard to perform combinations and special attacks. If you think programing a gamepad to perform as a keyboard, good luck. Tried that several ways and got nowhere. The game ignores all inputs but the keyboard and mouse. Besides that, the game has an awesome storyline. Would recomend but not for PC.

Best graphics + gameplay of 2004  I JUST LOVE THIS GAME.PERIOD. I’ve been playing PC games for 15 years now and can say with confidence the POP-sands of time is in my all-time Top 3 list. Excellent graphics/sound and exceptional game-play make this a collection item in my book…. Still sweet after 4 years The game is simply awesome all around. I won’t get into to much detail but, if you like action/adventure this is a must buy. Now, as far as the keyboard and mouse controls go, I don’t think they are as bad as some claim. I admit I can see where it can be frustrating. You just don’t have the same reaction/precision as playing it with an analog pad. Fighting multiple enemies while camera is rotating isn’t exactly intuitive on the keyboard. Also jumping at angles can be a problem. That said, I would play this with an analog pad, and do. For the record I use my Xbox 360 pad with the game. It’s functional “out the box” but I re calibrated the pad just to have things perfect. Hope this helps. Happy gaming…. Haunting Music The only reason I gave it an overall rating of less than five is there is a battle near the middle that will make your fingers fall off from repeating it 20-30 times. I also found a bug (!!!) on this Xbox title, which is inexcusable. Fortunately it only affects you if you save in a specific room at a specific time, causing the princess to not come do her part at the beginning of the section. I went back to a previous save and it worked well after that. The graphics are beautiful, animations fluid and realistic, and the music is a haunting palette of sound. If not for the two minor glitches/annoyances above, I’d give it the highest rating…. Excellent Game… The storyline is one that I personally enjoyed, but I can see where some may be deterred by it. The Prince is a bit whiny and self-righteous at times, but that’s part of what I enjoyed about him. If you’ve never tried these games, start here and work your way through its sequels. I doubt you’ll be disappointed…. |

Short game
(This refers to the PC version of the game.)
This game is actually pretty short if you sit down and play it seriously. It’s fun to watch– he has some great moves, and he does a very slow strip tease throughout the game. No, really.
I had a lot of trouble coordinating camera movement with character movement. Direction of motion is relative to the camera, and sometimes the game takes over camera control. It can make it hard to run in a straight line (which is often necessary to avoid traps or trigger doors). And if the camera isn’t at right angles with the Prince, it’s easy to accidentally have him leap off into emptiness. Fortunately we have the rewind power to deal with that!
I’m looking forward to the other Prince of Persia games, but I hope they’re a little longer than this one.
