Prince of Persia (Xbox 360) Gameplay Sample

I've heard this game described as Prince of Persia on training wheels, and it's understandable why fans of the 2/Xbox/GCN PoP games seemed to hate this "reboot" of the franchise. While I like this game, and find it engaging, there is no way to die in it. Jump off a cliff, and your magic friend will just pull out back to safety. There is no punishment for failure in this game.

To be honest, I own all three of the 6th gen PoP games, but have still yet to play though a single one. They are on my back log, despite the high praises they received, considered to be some of the best games of that generation. I have played portions of them, but not all the way through any.

With this 2008 reboot of the series, I like it, but the criticisms against it are definitely valid. That being said, I dig the art direction, and the controls are pretty smooth. I didn't spend a lot of time in this footage exploring as I would if I were just playing, but it's definitely more platformer in nature than action. Less fighting, more wall running, and a good game in it's own right, but is it a good Prince of Persia Game? That's up to you. A lot of fans say no, but some fans say it's OK, but not as good as the ones from the previous generation.
