When I heard that Prince Of Persia was coming to next gen gaming
consoles, I was thrilled. It brought back memories of the many fun
filled hours spent playing Sands of Time on the original xbox. You can rest easy, the new Prince Of Persia is a return to form.
The
game is built on a refined Assassin's creed engine and is a joy to play
from start to finish. From the stunning visuals to a very unique art
style, you will be impressed with how the game looks and plays.
The story involves you the prince along with a princess named Elika
on a mission to save the world from the apocalypse. It may seem far
fetched but it isn't and the relationship between the 2 main characters
of the game is very interesting. Elika is one of the most memorable AI
companion character in a video game in recent memory.
Some might ague the fact that the game is too easy, I found that the gameplay
was as natural and as beautiful as the world itself. The game is not
short, it will take most gamers just on 12 hours to complete. Let me
also state that this game has a brilliant ending and overall I put this
in my top 5 games of 2008.
I am a big fan of the platforming
genre and am pleased that the new Prince of Persia oozes platforming.
Grab this over the xmas period, you will not regret it.
