I haven't played PoP, though I've been meaning to since it came out. And reading this review makes me want to even more. But the PoP -> WW transition sound to me like that between Devil May Cry and DMC2.
The second game just seemed to steam in there without any introduction, in the asumption that anyone who was playing it had been waiting with the CD tray extended hungrily since they finished the first installment.
Thing is, where Prince of Persia is concerned, this doesn't seem to have hurt sales any. The first game fell on its ass, but the new one seems to be selling well.
I played Sands Of Time and found it an extremely charismatic and entertaining game. The narration provided by the main character is engaging and humorous, and you genuinely care about the relationship he develops with his lady accomplice.
By all accounts the sequel has taken a backwards step. It's lost a lot of the charm of the prequel, and apparently even the game play has lost some edge.
As I haven't played it, I can't give a personal preference. But I'd definitely recommend Sand Of Time.
no worries guys, this is still a really good game.
I admit, the atmosphere really does blow at times, a massive step back from the soft focus wonderland of sands of time but this is still worth getting for several reasons:
It's hard: so few games are challenging now this comes as a nice surprise.
the story: its about time travel! its got paradoxes! twists! yay!
Its still the wicked prince: hes still the wall jumping badboy of old and I still love the sheer magesty of watching the fella move around...
...the map: this. looks. amazing. i got the x box version and its qualitah =)
I was a huge fan of Sands of Time. Ive had this title for about a week now and put about 7 hours in so far. Its a quality title and is better than 90% of games released at the moment.
Sure, its not the epic that Sands of Time was but its still a fantastic game and oozes quality in so many areas.
Was a big fan of this game. I liked the darker tone than the SoT, I felt it gave the Prince a darker edge which fleshed out his charachter a bit more and contary to the previous poster thought this created a more clostrophobic atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the beautifully realized charachter models. More specifically the female ones.
Has anyone got any links to fanservice/porn, depicting Kaileena or her sexy mate? Hard lesbian stuff would be good, but nudie drawings will suffice.
(I originally registered for the UK:R forum, but I'm just looking about at the moment)
Thing is, where Prince of Persia is concerned, this doesn't seem to have hurt sales any. The first game fell on its ass, but the new one seems to be selling well.
Personally, I wanted back the 50 cents of DVDR space that the iso took up.
I was round at the Ubi dev studio the other day and managed to get this sneak photo of one of the artist's rude pencil drawing of Kaileena. Camera phones are jsut great. You should see the pics of the hotties from down the gym ;-)
