Very VERY Good Game.

I never played the original Prince of Persia. But I do have Warrior Within on my iPhone and The Two Thrones for the Playstation.

I saw this app, then looked it up to find it was an update of the original Prince of Persia game. One created long before the Sands of Time Trilogy. So, being a fan of the games since the two I owned first impressed me, I decided to try this.

I did not know what to expect. The Warrior Within is hard to play on the iPhone. I also knew that this time around there would be no time powers to use. But I figured I would still enjoy it. So, out of a gut feeling, I got this game and tried it out. I was still not expecting much, given that this, though an update, is one of the first Prince of Presia games to be created. But... wow, is this game awesome.

In a way I find this game more enjoyable than the games from the Sands of Time Trilogy. No time powers, but the action we get in this game works for me. It comes off as a fusion of pitfall and swordplay. But I throughly enjoy the game. Its simple in the general idea, but not too complex, yet still challenging. Its definitely a good game.

As far as controls go, you simply need to get used to them. I found Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on the iPhone hard at first, but once I got used to it, I was knocking CPU opponents out left and right. The same applies in this game. You get used to the controls, and the game becomes easier to play.

Id say my favorite parts of this game are definitely the fights. I love the combat system. Its simple, and still fun. It makes for some satisfying victories in the game. Especially the ending. I wont spoil it for those that havent finished the game, but it is epic. Moderately difficult, and still a lot of fun, and very satisfying to finish.

Honestly I dont see anything wrong with the game. I think the different modes were cool, since some people hate games where you are punished for taking extra time. I dont know much about the original game, but I know this version is a lot of fun, and I definitely recommend it to fans of swordfighting, and of course to fans of Prince of Persia.

Therefore, this game gets 5 stars, and definitely an A.
