Prince of Persia.

Epic game. Epic Epic Epic. Which I find strange, because it has it's flaws.

You can't die. It's extremely linear. There's no real exploration. The combat can be a pain. The story is quite Cliche and it's not very hard.

However, all of these flaws just don't stop you loving this game. Resently I've been loseing faith in games for one simple reason, they don't effect me now how they used to effect me when I was young. This game has proven to me that games can still get me extremely warm and fuzzy inside. This game has given me faith in games again.

Remember how people groaned when they saw what "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker" was going to look like (I was one of them). And they then gave it a chance out of their love for the Zelda series and then loved it. Yea that's exactly like this game.

I was so pleased to see IGN write this in conclusion of the game. I couldn't agree more.

This games is simply magical. I could rant on for ages but I'll go into bullet points to make things easier for me to write and everyone to understand.

- The game is beautiful
- The level design is spectacular. Looking out over the land from a high altitude sends tingles up your spine
- The world is rather big, the journey from each level is rewarding.

- The characters are beautiful
- One of the only games I've ever played where you're "partner" doesn't annoy you
- The Character development is one of the best I have ever seen in a game.
- The Prince is laugh out loud funny

- Great platformer
- The fact that's liner doesn't effect how breathtaking it feels to move through the landscape

- The combat is pretty kick ass
- Even though it can be quite fiddly, when you pull a combo off it looks insane and leaves you wanting to high five someone.


- The gameplay is awesome.
- Again, even though it's quite liner and repetitive it never got old for the entire run through of the game.
- I want to play it through and complete it 100%
- A good 2 days worth of gameplay, if you do it in two 9 hour sittings like I've done lol.

- The story is quite cliche, but by the end of it, you craving for more already. You don't want it to end where it does.
- The ending is probably the best I've seen in any game for a long long time. Not just story wise, but how it's played out. What happens. The credit role. It has a sort of twist. A twist that you start to see coming, but you can't believe that you're the one making it happen. The whole time I was like, "no way, am I really going to.....whoa". Honestly got to me, I thought it was epic.

I would recommend this game to anyone. When people ask me what my favourite games of all time are. I will definitely say, "Sonic, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Prince of Persia". I will always include this game in my top 5 at least.
