Prince of Persia Rules both the time and your ass

[Canyarion]

Read the IGN review, they love it. http://cube.ign.com/articles/458/458726p1.html
It looks like the realistic Zelda game we never got!
The swordplay sound wunderbar and the graphics are great!
This is currently no. 1 on my have-to-buy-list.

10.0 PresentationThis is the perfect realization of the franchise in 3D. Slick menus combined with crispy clean FMVs, in-game storytelling and lots of great, nostalgic extras for the ultimate Prince experience.

9.0 Graphics
Stunning. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Stretching architecture, unparalleled animation and ambient environments. Very rare framerate hitches and a sometimes cumbersome combat camera. Otherwise, a showpiece.

8.0 Sound
Atmospheric, fitting music, clear and thumping sound effects. Unfortunately compressed dialogue on GameCube. Runs in full surround.

9.0 Gameplay
Spectacularly intuitive, fun, challenging, and extremely satisfying. The only flaw -- if it can be called that -- is that combat is not quite as refined as the rest of the game.

9.0 Lasting Appeal
The game delivers a respectable sized single-player quest and when it's over, you can always toy around with the original POP, which is also included.

9.6 OVERALL:

BTW why does my explorer seize when I try to open Bobcats MK thread??
