Prince of Persia dumber than ever
Hi.
Well, I got POP the long waited prince of persia, the name is just like that, no three thorns or what ever.
Just hearing the name you assume that you will play the best prince of persia ever, but the reality is somthing else.
Well, the cartoon style 3d is good for dragon ball, but not for a prince of Persia but you can swallow it with some pepsi. But the moment when rocks start falling on the princes head, and donkeys start to get lost in the dessert you will start to feel that something is wrong and you want to throw up.
The worse is the prince’s personality, it went from the spoiled child in the “sand of time” to the dark warrior in “the two thorns” and “warrior within” to the dumb Bush personality in this final release.
Well, the combat and movement system is much easier than usual, as if it was designed for kids. they can brand it “press less to do more” which is not appreciated for a game with an adult fan base. complex control is there to separate the men from the boys you know.
To be honest I just tried the game but may be it’ll get a little more interesting in the end. Who knows.

I couldn’t agree more; what makes it worse is the storyline. Sands of Time has a real good, full of action, twisted story; you complete the game and keep thinking of the story. but here you comlpete the game and keep banging your head with the ending; why it’s like that.
anyway, well try to play the sequel and see if any imrovments occur to the storyline.
Sand of Time was great, somehow funny but without being lame. but now, they called a donkey Farah (from the sand of time) just because they thought it’s funny. Bad story, Bad graphics, bad gameplay. uh
Anyway Thank you for sharing N_M_S !!
The one and only thing that has been pricking me since version 1 is in the fact that the character designers bothered the least if any, about the few basic physical traits characteristic of a specific region geographically. On an average, the inhabitants of the middle east (Asia) posses dark to black pupil. The sight of a blue eyed Persian Prince is so damn unconvincing and a hindrance to the gamers attempt to see every entity in the game as a whole. Like, a blue-eyed foreigner being called over to act on behalf of the subdued real-life . A sense of forcing things through by the makers can be helplessly felt. NO-doubt there is beauty in the art, graphical and technical, but, what lacks is a little bit of staying on track. It happens at times with artists engrossed totally. Fantasy is there ,fine . Its what ( helps cover up inaccuracies and ) adds space for indulgence. In spite of all that, inability to sew practicality with fantasy in a proper way makes it distasteful . I think all of the shortcomings are rooted to one source, not enough Time-space for the makers. The producers and the sponcers should spend a little time in trying to get the fact that patience begets virtue. The release of the latest POP shows what a blunder there has been. Anyway, the hard work of the artists,programmers, etc., do deserve a praise, not to mention the sleepless nights.
Tell me what you're thinking...
