This game was a lot of fun and lives up well to it's heritage! The signature feel of the original Prince of Persia games are present and the new story is quite good, unique and interesting, plus the puzzles are fun too (for the most part).
Unfortunately, the combat system is a bit weak but it is not too bad. Definitely playable but it's no Ninja Gaiden!
My only complaint with this game is, surprisingly, the audio. Specifically the audio volume of the spoken dialog. I play the game through my Dolby Digital receiver and the sounds are surround. However, so are dialogue. So often times, it is very difficult for me to hear what my companion is saying to me because she may be off to the side which lowers the volume. A simple subtitle feature would have fixed everything!
I do like the jazzy Middle Eastern themed music and fits well, obviously.
Overall, I had a great time playing it. It didn't take long (10hrs to complete), plus the special unlockable of PoP 1 & 2 definitely made it very rewarding!
I would highly recommend this game! I'm already looking forward to the sequel!
