Great game, but go for console

This is one hell of a game! Though easy and somewhat short, playing as the new Prince feels great, and there's a sort of amazing fluidity as you travel from zone to zone, defeating the dark forces that have taken control of the land. Note that I used a wireless 360 controller when playing, so keyboard and mouse users may have a different experience.

My one gigantic complaint with the game (big enough for me to knock the score down by two stars) is the fact that Ubisoft has the ability to bring the DLC Prince of Persia: Epilogue that adds a whole new ending to the game to the PC, but refuses to. They have not given an explanation to the many PC users who bought it, and most of us are pretty ticked about it.

However, that does not keep the actual game from being as good as it is. Story, visuals, gameplay, music, and everything else that goes into Prince of Persia is flawlessly done, and is a wonder to behold. Just remember, if you're going to jump for the PC version, you're missing out on the DLC like I and hundreds of other PC users did. Go for the console version.
