Gameplay/Controls 10/10
The gameplay is really cool. You can run on the walls anytime and it has a nice puzzle feel. The puzzles aren't the hardest things in the world but at times you will be looking around thinking what do I do next? But this is a good thing, and you aren't looking to long. The fighting sequences aren't the hardest either but they can be challenging at times. There are plenty of cool moves you can to while fighting. My favorite is vaulting up an enemy. You run up there front side and in mid-air you slice them and then you slice them again and they are dead. And this all is back flip. It is very smooth and does not present any problems. Controls are very smooth. Every button is used appropriately and the controls seem very right.
Story 9/10
There is a story and it is interesting and keeps you playing the game so you can see what happens next. You are with a woman named Farah for a big percent of the game. Don't worry I thought this was going to be one of those games (like Tricky in Star Fox Adventures) where the other character is extremely annoying and you have to protect them all the time. Farah is a big help and she shoots the enemies with arrows from long distances. Once in a while you have to save her from an enemy but they are almost dead because she defends her self very well.
Sound & Music 9/10
The music in this game is very fitting. Arabian type music. The sound is also very good, from the groaning of the sand monsters to the sound of your sword hitting the stone or whatever it strikes. Good in the sound department as well.
Graphics 9/10
The graphics in this game are really good. I have heard that the Playstation 2 version as the worst graphics of all three systems, but I bought the Playstation 2 one and the graphics are excellent. The graphics aren't on the same scale as some games but very well done.
Replayability 8/10
This game is shorter than a lot of games. It should have been longer. But it is so fun that once you beat it you will play it again. I have beaten it twice almost and plan to beat it a third. Its awesome.
Should you get this?
Yes go buy it now. I definitely think this game is worth the price because its so fun and you will want to play through it more than once. It is the only game I have for PS2 right now, and it is a good one.
