"Having gone through the Sands Of Time trilogy a few times in my short lifetime, to see a completely different prince starring in a game that's called Prince Of Persia was a little bit of a shock to my system, as he looked so different.... I suppose this is how the fans of the older games on DOS felt after seeing the redesigned Prince for the Sands Of Time trilogy. But in any case, with change, has to come lowered expectations - we can't expect the same sort of thing we got with the Sands Of T..."
"As I started the game and slowly melted into a puddle of awe, I had a good feeling about how the next few hours would go.
Then the dialogue began, and it all started to go downhill from there. It's hard to comprehend how you can hate something that's so pretty. Despite its great looks, Prince of Persia is about as fun as playing Guitar Hero on easy with PC speaker sound and a regular controller."
Obviously fans of the game were excited for Epilogue, but some may be disappointed in the newest batch of DLC for the Prince's most recent outing. Extra Ammo talk about DLC in general, covering its very brief history in the gaming industry, and how it has its flaws. Apart from that, Epilogue is reviewed on diversity, price and many other factors attached to DLC. Epilogue scores an average 7.7
One Prince, one Princess, intertwining fates....all leads to one epic journey to rid the world of evil and for the Prince to realize his true destiny.
"Bottom line: Prince of Persia is a visually stunning, laid back and engrossing video game. A prime example of games as art and games as storytelling devices. Much like the Princes movements across the landscape, the game is fluid, albeit repetitive. It is easy to complete because you cannot die and cannot be defeated, yet it is challenging as sometimes a mistake will force you to replay large chunks of gravity defying leaps from cliff walls while avoiding the black goo of corruption."
In this review, I attempt to analyze the viewpoints and ideas expressed in Prince of Persia's narrative. Ideas which attempt to address the issue of, as the Prince states, "fighting someone else's battle," among other things.
It's almost 2009 (3 hours from now) and I thought I would start the celebrations by launching an realy New Year's review of Prince of Persia, which some of you will know, I have had most fun with. It's an amazing game, disregarding everything present in the old games. I gave the newest instalment a outstanding 92%, making it the second best rated game on the site. Please leave a comment.
"At the beginning of the game, you can look at your map and find 24 different areas, represented as little circles on your map. Each of those 24 areas are grey and drap, with no life inhabiting it save for the black goo that will suck in and kill the prince should he slip in. You can restore all the color and plantlife back to each area by platforming your way to the "fertile ground," where your partner Elika will use her magical stripper abilities to shoot flowers out of her pants.

With the "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" trilogy over and done with by the end of the last console generation, Ubisoft recognized the need to refresh the series for its next-gen debut. "Prince of Persia" is the franchise's first tentative steps towards gaming perfection, with beautiful locales, tight and responsive controls and enthralling combat adding to the appeal of this already remarkable franchise. But a few troublesome flaws hold the game back, as this review from A+B+Start explains.
"Much like the recent Batman or James Bond films, Ubisoft Montreal is seeking to follow this Hollywood trend of reinvention and re-boot the Prince of Persia series again. The original 3D reinvention, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, was hailed by the critics but oddly didnt sell as well as it should have. Nevertheless, it is now viewed as a classic.
The inevitable sequel, Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, followed and much like many sequels seemed to fail to live up to the first game. Then..."

For you Prince Of Persia fans that are worried from the changes, the concensus is this is a game a Prince Of Persia fan would love, or any other action/adventure fan would love. Click the link for the full list of reviews, and links to the reviews themselves.
Average score= 90/100
"Forget what you know about the Prince of Persia series. Let go the Sands of Time. Release your Warrior Within. Ubisoft Montreal has created a new Prince, in a new world, with a new female companion and a very different design philosophy. The longer you hold on to the style of last generation's Prince of Persia, the harder it will be to master the new one. Embrace the change and you're likely to fall in love with the new Prince (or at least his lovely companion).
When we meet the new Princ..."
