Prince of Persia was a very good game for several reasons: It has style, it has a captivating story, and its fun to play.
The biggest problem I had with this game was that it is VERY easy. There are some points in the game that make you scratch your head and will take a few tries, but thanks to the dagger of time you can replay the same spot over and over until you figure it out. The final boss in this game angered me more than the boss for FFX, whats up with games these days? The final boss is supposed to be incredibly hard to defeat, so that you get some kind of satisfaction out of killing it. Any boss that I can beat on the first try in an action/adventure/puzzle game like this is not worthy of being the final boss.
Anyway, enough griping, this is a very good game although short and easy.
