    Default Prince of Persia- PS2

    This is one of the games I've been looking forward to.

    Is anyone enjoying or not enjoying it?

    Worst.....camera.....ever. Ok, Drake's is worse, but rule #1 is that you NEVER switch an camera angle during a jump, EVER. Enjoyable otherwise and it looks incredible.

    I want to play the XBox one. If a game is released multi-platform, I almost always get the XBox version.

    I picked it up last week. Haven't had a lot of time to play it yet but the first level is pretty fun. Like many other next-gen games, I find the amount of buttons used somewhat overwhelming. By the end of the first level you will be using every button on the PS2 controller to get through certain rooms. I haven't run into any really "cheap" deaths, and only once or twice have I wandered around a room wondering I was supposed to be doing.

    I just finished it.

    Without a doubt one of the best games I've ever played.

    The camera is very easy to control, but yes it does move during jumps so you might get a cheap death or two.

    Also in some levels its a little difficult to figure out where to go and what to do. The visions help so make sure you re-watch them for tips.

    The fighting later gets a little tiring UNLESS you use all the moves at your disposal , then things can be fun.

    Overall it's a MUST BUY in my opinion.

    1) How long is the game?

    2) Are there many exploration/puzzle solving elements?

    The Xbox version has Prince of Persia 2 as an exclusive unlockable, while the other versions only have the original PoP, which makes it the pick right there.

    And Jon is right: it's a wonderful game. Slightly too short, but the intensity of the experience more than makes up for it, and I'll always take quality over quantity. It got my vote for Game of the Year in PSE2's annual awards issue.

    1. I think it only took about 10-12 hours.
    2. It's linear so there isn't a lot of exploring, it's not an open environment. But there is puzzle solving in the sense of figuring out how to reach your goal.

    It's been getting great reviews, for all of the platforms, but I'll probably pick up the Xbox one too.

    Are there any stealth elements in the game, or is it just action / with a little puzzle thrown in?

    Arrgh, that's only the second time I've had a twinge of wishing I had an Xbox. Damn you!
