Prince of Persia PS3 Review

Graphics: The main reason I bout this game is because of its amazing graphics, and I was not let down. Second best graphics I've seen on the PS3 (Gran Turismo being the first). They used a technique from Sly Cooper series called cell shading to make it look like a watercolor painting. Prince of Persia really is a water color painting. 10/10

Story: Let me get this straight-The upcoming Disney movie is not based on this PoP, but the PS2 version. But, still, the story is very interesting, and you really care about the characters and their world. There are some parts that don't make sense, but its not much of a problem. 8/10

Sound: Incredible music (almost as good as Lair), and decent voice acting, although the prince sometimes cracks some dumb jokes that make the dialogue cheesy yet entertaining. 9/10

Gameplay: This game is an action platformer, which means you'll be jumping a lot, and you'll be fighting a lot. This game has better platforming elements than our favorite, inFamous, but not better action (duh). The sword fighting is all about combining your moves with you sword, gauntlet, acrobatic moves, and your partner, Elika. This sounds hard, but each move is mapped to one of the face button (X, Square, Cicle, and Triangle), and the ease makes it enjoyable. But, a strange twist to the game is that you simply cannot die. Nope, if you fall, Elika (the girl) saves you with her magical powers. If you die in combat, Elika revives you. Its not as bad as you think, but it is certainly strange. You can explore the entire world, which is very fun, just to see the different sights. The game is just so fun. I can't put it any other way. 9.5/10

Multiplayer: I really wish this game had multiplayer battles. The combat in a way reminds me of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith (PS2), but with more combos, which had good 2 player. This would be so great on Prince of Persia, and its disappointing. Video games are becoming single player only now, which is definitely not good.

92/100 (an average) Prince of Persia is awesome. No other way to put it.
