Anyone else tried it out? How do you think it compared to Sands of Time or (shudder) Warrior Within? I'm currently slugging it out with the Vizier and am delighted with the game, but some very frustratingly difficult moments (Second chariot sequence, hard enough on its own, immediatly followed by one of the most difficult boss battles), bad design decisions (What? I can't skip this cutscene?! WHAT?! I've had to sit through it a hundred times for crissake!) and lack of that "SoT Magic" (Oh man, what a game that was... if only they had forgone the combat sequences it would have been perfect) only rank it second in the Sands of Time series for me.

I very much enjoy the speed kill aspect, turning combat into a part of the environmental puzzles was pure genius. The return to SoT style puzzles and atmosphere is a huge plus as well.

BUT

The Warrior Within style combat sequences are again, irritating. The insanely unfair parts are also a gripe. The dialog isn't on par with SoT, which also sucks, and alot of the Dark Prince tripe just blows.

All in all though, a decent piece of work and a return to grace for the Prince of Persia.



Anyone else have any thoughts on it?
