4.0 out of 5 stars Rousing action and adventure, December 8, 2000

This review is from: Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights (Video Game)

This is a nice port of a pc game to the DC something I would like to see more of. In this game you play a sword wielding, turban wearing adventurer who must pass the most perilous of tests. The game plays alot like the tomb raider series. It is 3rd person perspective and is full of alot of purple hues. There are several puzzle types throughout the game and countless sword swinging encounters with baddies. There are many areas to explore and goggle at and the length of the adventure is adequate. The sound and graphics look great on the DC, and the controls are fairly easy after a little practice. If you played the original POP or are looking for some action adventure video gaming pick it up you will enjoy yourself.

This review is from: Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights (Video Game)

If you've played any of the PofP games, this one is outstanding, the best! Be prepared to use thinking and obversation skills, this is not just a game of sword fighting. Oh yes, there is sword fighting, but I consider that secondary to the main game which is to navigate through the levels avoiding the endless booby-traps and trying to figure out how to get from one place to the other and using the objects you find. Music is very good, matched perfectly with the events in progress. I crave this game and hope more are on the way. But, not everything is perfect, you can only save at save points and the sword fighting is a bit clumsy although you can get used to it.

This review is from: Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights (Video Game)

Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights is a great game for the Dreamcast! The game reminds me of Tomb Raider (which sucked) but has a lot more to offer...a lot more.

The game is a game designed for "the thinking gamer." Thats right, if you're one of those that get headaches from thinking while playing games then pass this one up. The game is loaded with action but you'll have to use your brain to discover what to do. I can't tell you how much fun and challenging this is.

The only downfall is that when you discover what to do it will no longer be challenging after you beat the game.

The graphics are decent and you do get the Arabian atmosphere when you play. This is a game for the gamer that wants a true challenge. If you're not into thinking then you can pass this one up.
