I had read about all about Prince of Persia in magazines and they all say that the game is under rated. I wasn't really interested until I saw the xbox version for £29.99 on the shelves.
The games is exceptionally well presented, especially in the opening sequence. The graphics are amongst the best on the xbox and the music provide the approriate atmosphere as you trawl through an enormous castle filled with baddies and traps.
It takes about 45 minutes to get used to the controls, but this is easily the best aspect of the game. The ability to run across walls is sooooo satisfying. The time-reversing gimmick is also original and provides more playability to a game that can pretty unforgiving at times.
Prince of Persia is simply the best platform/adventurer on the xbox. The action is also unrivalled thanks to a near perfect combat system that lets you hover above enemies!
