Prince of Persia
Did anyone pick this up on Friday then?
If so, what are your impressions? I know a few people here were waiting for this, but not heard anything from them. I got it sent through to me on rental though not really had a chance to give it a fair going over yet.

From the review I've watched (gametrailers) I was suprised and disappointed.
In one breath they criticised it's simplified running/jumping and combat mechanics and moaned about the retreading old ground but then they gave it a big score (9.3 iirc) I'm avoiding it for now based on that review...

My opinions are certainly changing on the title from my first impressions.

I'm a little upset that pretty much all reports are that it's much easier and slightly dumbed down compared to its predecessors. The combat is easy and can be completed with button mashing and the jumping segments have more in common with quicktime events than it does with the original game.
Such a shame, one of the best things about the old ones was their rock solid difficulty.

The Mrs has bought me this for xmas and having never played the others I don't know what to expect. I really didn't like assassins creed and I think it will be a bit like that.
Dumbed down combat. Then again I enjoy the 360 tomb raider games so hopefully it will bear some similarities.

I immediately thought of you when someone mentioned it being dumbed down Danny (that sounds a little harsh, but do read on) because I know you mentioned that was your pet peeve with Assassins Creed (see).
The combat on this at least utilises all 4 face buttons for attacks and triggers for blocks. The movement across walls also required the use of either the B button to climb further or Y button to gain extra distance, so you always feel like you're doing more with the controls than those of Assassins Creed.

Yeah I really wasn't happy with assassins, viking was a very similar game but with decent combat so you didn't feel like you was doing the same level over and over.
For £17.99 I suppose you can't go far wrong anyway. For me 2008 has been about top name games not delivering, so many anticipated titles have been poor for my money. Yet I've found many great games that haven't been so highly rated.
