Prince of Persia Classic is basically the same Prince of Persia game
that we have all grown to love. But this time around it has gotten a
major graphical upgrade.
Gameplay: In this game you basically have to climb, run, jump, and even
walk your way past trap-filled mazes. You can do almost all of the
actions that you could do in Prince of Persia Sands of Time. The aspect
of the gameplay that stands out the most is the sword fighting. When
you first start fighting you will be pretty bad at it and you will get
killed pretty quick. After a while you will get the hang of the
fighting. You will be able to block faster and swing faster and you
will fall in love with the fighting. Its really exciting when both you
and your enemy continue to block and counter-attack, neither of you
getting a hit until one of you makes a breakthrough. Trust me, the
fighting becomes addicting.
Graphics: First thing you will notice is how much the graphics have
improved. The first Prince of Persia was literally pixels moving on
screen. This version however, looks very similar to the Sands of Time,
which was a last gen game. So basically an >arcade< game looks as
good as a >last gen< game. Interesting no?
Sound: The game comes with nice, ethnic music. It usually only plays
during the main menu, and there seems to be a lack of music at times.
However the music in the game is very nice, and suits the mood.
Value: There is a survivor challenge that will be quite challenging and
will have you addicted trying to complete it. Overall a fun game. Makes
dying enjoyable. Could have been a bit longer, but it is an arcade game
after all. I say its a must-buy for any Prince of Persia fans :)
