Prince of Persia

In the 3rd and last part of my review I would like to give some clear ranking

Graphics : 4/5
Simply put eyes on the images to better understand what designers mean by visual rendering qualified “illustrative art”. Rarely graphics of a game have been so close to the artworks on this artistic project. The achievement gives an impression of change in scenery painted by hand and in which the characters move with great grace.

Gameplay: 4/5
Several major changes were made to the gameplay compared to the Sands of Time trilogy. This applies for the fighting, fewer, less free, but now focusing exclusively on duels where the notion of timing brings a certain subtlety to the running battles. Designed for the sake of greater accessibility, it remains real pleasure to play from beginning to end.

Replay Value: 3.5/5
The adventure involves 25 areas to explore, all linked together to form a vast territory in which it is fortunately possible to teleport. The game is advancing rapidly at first but things get complicated thereafter with the collection of vital light spheres and solving puzzles which are sometimes quite difficult.

Sound: 4/5
The sound environment supports the action admirably, music appreciation adapting to situations and introducing a radically different atmosphere from one region to another. The voices in English are delightful and the fact that the prince expresses without any restraint helps identify its character.

Storyline: 3.5/5
The game takes place in a totally distinct scope from the one that served as background to the Sands of Time trilogy. Without losing sight of the influence of the original Prince of Persia license and atmosphere “Thousand and One Nights”, the software is more rooted in magic and fantasy, and offers a trip to both poetic and artistic. Too bad that history put in as little scene, and that the quest for purification makes the conduct of the adventure rather predictable and redundant.

Overall Rating: 4/5
A new Prince of Persia has just taken over from its predecessors in an episode placed under the sign of change and renewal. Despite the choice of gameplay that could disrupt the regulars, the adventure is to discover with great pleasure and delight standing provided by a simply magnificent achievement. If the next few strands correct the defects mentioned in the review, it could attend the birth of a new memorable trilogy.
