Prince of Persia

I finally achieved the platinum trophy for this game the other day so I thought I would do a quick review. This wasn't a bad game, but it is definitely not the first one I would reach for if I was itching for some quick action. It took me less than 8 hours to beat the game but took about 16 hours to collect all the trophies and those weren't really that hard, just very time consuming. The most difficult is collecting 1001 light seeds. I had to look a few up online to see where and how to get to them. The most IMPORTANT thing to remember when going for Platinum is right after you beat the God of Darkness to completely set the controller down! there will be a video but dont touch your controller! Even after the video is over and your able to move, DON'T TOUCH IT! Wait one minute and you will get a trophy.

The game itself has a decent story line that isn't too hard to follow, the biggest downfall in my opinion is that it is impossible to die in the game so there is zero suspense while playing. When fighting, there are mini games and if you miss a button, Elika (women that helps you throughout the game) will save you. Also while running from place to place, if you fall or find yourself in a life threatening predicament...Elika will save you so that is one thing I didn't much care for.

The graphics for this game are quite unbelievable for the people. It has that genre of graphics much like Borderlands with the black outline around everything. Almost like everything is a cartoon but it looks very good. However even with the amazing people graphics, the environmental graphics are lacking. Good but not great.

The gameplay is sort of repetitive in the fact that there are 5 bosses you fight including Elika's father 4 of which you have to fight 6 times! You basically travel (jumping through/over/under the same stuff every time) from land to land defeating the creature and open up a new territory. Afterward, you must collect light seeds to gain special powers that make you move better...then repeat over and over again. So there is a bit of repetitiveness to it.

All in all, I had fun while getting the trophies because I was able to accomplish it quickly but I think if anyone would spend an extended amount of time with this game would get bored fairly quickly. I give it a 6/10.
