Prince of Persia (X360)

“If i ever wanted to play one of those games, witch one should i get?”

“@n3rd

Get the first one "Sands of Time". Then, if you like that one skip the others and get the latest one.”

“PREWARNING: I wrote far more than I intended too, feel free to skip to the bottom and just read the summary.

Well there's quite a few of them that I know a bit about.. Sands of time, the original game from like 1989, the remake of the original on XBLA, warrior within aaand the one I just played which is just Prince of Persia. There are actually a couple more but I don't know about them.

The original is obviously retro and arcadey, and hard. You can plly that online for free though, or at least very similar versions made by other people. The XBLA remake of it is more or less the same game but they gave it a graphical revamp and added a few extra things to it, I haven't actually played it though.

The first game I remember seeing was Sands of Time for PS2. At the time people loved it, because it was cool to navigate the environment in these new fancy ways, and they liked the puzzle aspects and such alike. That was like 5 years ago though so it's hard to say how well it holds up against 5 years of gaming advancements. Warrior Within was the first one I properly owned, that was ps2 again. Game was fairly hard in places, I seem to remember getting extremely angry with the game over screen at some points but I'm not the best gamer in the world. It was pretty easy to get lost in that game too because there was a lot of backtracking and time travelling all over the place. It was also a lot darker than the previous Sands of Time and blood went flying instead of sand when you sworded them. Combat was pretty fun but I seem to remember getting pwned by the demale ninja kind of enemy quiet a bit. Some of the obstacles were tricky as well, and you had to time the traps right.

The game I just played was Prince of Persia. The last trilogy ended and it seems they are just starting again. It's much lighter this time around, back to no blood, and there's witty dialogue too. The game is much more forgiving too and it's impossible to physically die, you just get saved by your Elika who runs around with you everywhere, and you control to some extent. Combat is pretty easy, and navigation is a lot easier because you select where you want to go on the map and tell Elika to use her magic (press Y) and a ball of light flies off in the way you should go. There's a lot of collecting in the game however, as you need light seeds to get powers and therefore unlock new places. It was pretty fun though, but repitive. Then again what game isn't repitive by the end?

SUMMARY: My favourite is the the most recent one for xbox 360 just called Prince of Persia. I like that it has a emotionalish storyline but is humorous too. Doesn't take itself so seriously as the others. It's also the most forgiving but it never seems so easy that it's dull. Obviously it's 'next gen' too so it looks rather prettyful.

“I think this one looks absolutely gorgeous. And the plus is that it handles like an expensive sports car. Not only does it looks pretty, but the controls are top notch responsive. I have fun just looking around in this game. But when I go into battle, I also know I'm not going to be dissapointed. ”
