This game is pleasing to the eye, but like all things that are pretty, it hides an evil writhing mass of unfun game-playing under its surface. the people who made this game are rat bastards of the highest order, or so I thought several hours in to the game, and continued to several hours after. they made me collect all this shit, i didn't do that before in a prince of persia game, and i weren't happy to do it this time. there was this sword battle I was in, it seriously went for about 20 minutes, I was waiting for the other guy to die from exhaustion, or cough and politely excuse himself, but it was not to be, the veins in my head expanded and contracted in a metred rhythm, and a rage percolated in my stomach like so much morning coffee. It was fun to hear Elika say, "yes, lets collect more light seeds!, i love them shits!" supposedly to make you think, "hey, maybe I do love collecting light seeds! ", Elika is in the effing game after all, she must know what the good stuff in it is. Theres no grand vizier in this game either, and this single fact has retroactively ruined every game in the prince of persia franchise. In summary, include the grand vizier in the next game, and make his beard twice as long to make up for your terrible terrible crimes.
