The game is really fun and the story and characters are compelling. For a game from 2008, the graphics and art style both hold up really well and are gorgeous to look at. The limited-edition box is really nice looking too and it comes with a neat CD for the soundtrack. Yes, the soundtrack and music are great too. It really feels like a swashbuckling adventure.

This game is seriously fun, unique in comparison to other contemporary games, and very beautiful. Several game mechanics are innovative or just plain one of a kind (you can continuously talk to your partner and she will constantly say new and relevant things). Underrated when it came out, and still competitive in 2019.

This is an excellent game. It branches away from the story line of the main Prince of Persia series that is all about the sands of time to something completely different. The story in this game is about the prince (who is only a prince by name, not title) helping Princess Elika purify the land of her people that has been corrupted by an evil deity known as Ahriman. It uses cell shaded graphics, which I am a big fan of. It has great gameplay that is 75% platforming and 25% combat. The great thing about the gameplay is that all your actions flow together. The game is designed so that no single action has to be performed and then stop. It can immediately be followed by another action, allowing you to create long chains of attacks in combat that can dispatch enemies quickly. In platforming you have to create these long chains of movement to traverse the land. You can wall walk, grab onto rings attached to walls and ceilings and swing across them, jump from pillar to pillar, climb up and grind down walls using your gauntlet, and climb along vines. There are also these special pads that when moved onto, Elika's powers can be activated, and 1 of 4 special movement types will be activated that create more platforming elements. The game recieved many good reviews and bad ones, with the bads ones citing the game as "too easy" or "repetitive".Read full review
The story is nice and it has a good ending... The visuals are very good The gameplay is good when you are walking around, but poor during fights But the game has a HUGE negative side: it looks like everything you do is a repetition of what was done in the very first phase. The first 30 minutes of gameplay are good and the remaining hours are a repetition of the first 30 minutes. Ubisoft did cut the same corners in Assassin's Creed. I will think twice before buying the next game from them. By the way: the bonus disc that comes with the limited edition is not worth it. I was expecting a true making off. What i got was a very short film picturing game desiners in their offices... very poor content. i would rather get as a bonus from Ubisofft a blank Blue Ray disc, I would have a better use for it.Read full review
This is a fantastic start to the Prince of Persia series on the Xbox 360. It's not too long, but just long enough. The story takes around 10-14 hours to go through. It's longer if you try to obtain all 1001 light seeds, but it was such a magical game. The dramatic visual style and the flow will keep you hooked for hours. It is also equally visually engaging to watch for anyone sitting next to you (it's a single player game). While the game has it's shortcomings, I did not find any bugs or glitches in this game. Prince of Persia has been well polished and was not rushed out. The design team spent over 2 and half years crafting this masterpiece. You will read reviews that criticize how easy the game is, but look at it another way. It is an eloquently designed game that does away with the standard gaming conventions like the game ending death or tedious repetition. The enjoyment is found in the journey and it's fluid expression of movement.Read full review
