The graphics are incredible. The worlds are huge and richly detailed. The game runs pretty smoothly even with all the details on screen. The game sounds wonderful as well but sometimes, there are no sound effects where there should be. The voice acting is great. The music is very fitting and changes according to situations.
The gameplay is wonderfully executed. The Prince has a ton of cool moves and many that interact with the environment. The time control feature is really nice and you will need to think before you use as it has its limits. You will have to use all of the Prince's moves to solve puzzles. My only complaints are that the AI (ally and opponent) aren't the best. And once an enemy decides to attack, they all gang up on you. Also, the fixed camera (most of the time it's free) does not provide a good view and can be a pain. The save vortexes will provide you with clues on what to do and you always have to look carefully to get to where you want to go. The game is rather on the short side though, it won't take the average gamer more then 9 or 10 hours to beat.
The story is pretty good and has some nice twists. The development will not completely make any sense until you finish the game. The ending was rather interesting and unexpected.
Final words: An all around excellent game with a few minor problems.
