this game is a little different in style from other prince of persia games. The artwork is nice and the battle systems is interesting. It has all the essentials of prince of persia from jumping to running on the walls. If you are new to this series this is the best to go because it is easier than the other ones (you cannot literally die in this one).

For the special dvd, I think it is good for this price although I was expecting more. The bonus disc is just a video dvd so for some pics it is a lttle blurry to see.

The one problem with this game is the repetitiveness of the missions. That was the bad part, now for the good. Looks awesome, I love the artwork of the game. The character and their interaction amused me throughout the game. The story was more than enough to keep me motivated to play it through.

All in all, 4 stars may be to low, but most people don't like repetition, so there you go.

I love the Prince of Persia series, especially since it reminds me of Assassin's Creed. I had purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my Boyfriend. I just wish it had some more downloadable content is all, but I got it for a really good deal. I can't complain. It's a awesome game, just wish the limited edition had more limited content.

As a fan of the Prince of Persia games since the original side scroller version on PC (early 90s?) I'm pretty pleased with this game. It's obviously much improved over the original given it's 3 dimensional world. The game is very easy to control and the worlds created are expansive and somewhat challenging. The only problem I have with the game is that the combat system from the previous few games from the last 5 years or so has been altered / removed. So, this game is much less combat based and much more exploration based. This is a good thing if you're purchasing for younger folks, but if you're and adult like me, you might miss some of the blood and gore from the previous games. But overall, I'd still say it's a great game and worth the purchase.

I actually agree with most of the other reviews here. This game does not hold a candle to the sands of time series in gameplay, character appeal, or story. So separating it from those masterpieces, what do you have?

Prince of Persia is a visually stunning game that does eventually make the game more of the fantasy I believe the developers intended. You can indeed find yourself stopping in points in the game just to look around at the beautiful background scenery.

The story works but is a bit shallow. And the ending? I won't spoil it, but I am amazed that some people actually enjoyed the ending. I found it to be one of the most disappointing endings in recent years, one that makes you wonder why you played the game in the first place.

Character appeal: Elika is your Farah from the sands of time series, and she works very nicely into this game. She grows on you quite fast, and is very likeable. The dialogue between her and the prince, which is incredibly redundant and annoying at the beginning of the game, develops into a intimate tension between the two as the game proceeds. The prince, in my opinion, is the biggest disappointment. He is not a prince, more like a nomadic thief, and has a dull and sarcastic personality. Elika, which is also quite beautiful and looks great in the game, is a deep contrast to the prince, which looks like a homeless bum wearing a long red scarf in an old arabian village. The out of place red scarf, which he states he wears for luck, covers part of one eye and looks like something a failed 80's rocker would wear. Your best bet is too change into the skins that you can unlock with codes on the menu screen, so that you don't have to deal with the stupid personality AND the stupid appearance of the prince.

Gameplay reminds you of the old series, with wallruns and climbs and swings. There is a couple new maneuvering techniques such as roof climbing and using elika to double jump. It does take you back to the series but with a slightly new feel, which works great. The game takes an interesting approach to dying though. You can't die. No matter what you do, elika will save you and you will start back on solid ground before you "almost died." This takes away some frustration, but also takes away the accomplishment and excitement that could be present.

Overall, I still like the game, and you can download the epilogue from xbox live, which is an alternate ending of sorts (I am having problems with loading the epilogue saved games at times though). It is also much more challenging than anything in the game. If you are a diehard fan of the series and assassins creed type, and can separate this game on it's own, I think you will enjoy it as well.
