SI fights Price of Persia repetitivly.

Raview

The Prince of Persia series is like a child who nearly died of cot-death - twice before living a happy childhood for a few years then hitting puberty and becomg whiny. This stage is the recent Prince of Persia, a mediocre wasteland where you can get absorebed by shiny faeces.

You start the game as a man dressed ridiculously warmly for a scorching wasterland in a sandstorm, before landing somewhere in a trench, at which point a crazy woman jumps on you and begins acting extremely odd, before going into a set of wisecracks, and then switching back to here first mode. Look Ubisoft, people need set personalites, not constant skitzerfrenic switches back and forth between two drastically lifestyles, only to hop onto a third halfway through the game. Look at the Price for exapmple, a fairly funny man with a nack for being rescued when two inched from looming spiky death traps. The game tries to make the crazy lady looks magical, but she just reminds me of the water person from Lord of the Rings Third Ages, y'know, the one where you search around a bare wastleand occasionally meeting enemys, much like this game.

Despite my last statement this game gives me an eerie sense of deja vu from assasins creed. A game with much better combat; and storylne. The combat of this game is like a sticky syrup, covered in mold. You have a choice of: jump on your enemies head, pick up the lady and throw her at them, use your needle hand to throw them and standard slash with sword attack. It reminded me of Pokemon, as you had four attacks, only it's worse as you have quick time events, and button mashing and small areas which you fall off only to have the lady (who was at one point immoblilized in goo) to save your sorry ass.

The best part of the game, conversly, is the free running. You can run around, comepletly unphazed by your surroundings, jumping around and doing rather odd mid-air dances with the scary lady, who at this point I should've mention has the unfortunate name "Elika" who's other trick is to interupt you acrobatic sequence to climb onto the spot you're standing.

So the game is upsy-downsy, amazing freerunning, near-turnbased combat and easily beaten. Thanks for watching, I am Strong Intelligent.
