Hobbes from PS3Blog.net reviews the classic Prince of Persia on the PlayStation 3
The mind behind Prince of Persia shares his family’s life story as well as his own as a videogame developer in an emotional and very personal book.
With the release of The Lost Crown this week, let's take a look at every Prince of Persia game released since the series debuted.
If you’re a gamer “of a certain age”, you may vaguely remember the moment when games went from a grueling gauntlet requiring all your skill and concentration to tackle to a casual, checkpoint-containing, cruise control-encouraging walk in the park.
I beat Jurassic Park multiple times!
Jurassic Park had no save system, so I would leave the console running while I went to school, took breaks. It's not that it's hard, it's just tedious. But I was a Jurassic Park obsessed kid (around 13 when this hit), so I would obsessively scower ever inch of the maps (both 2D and 3D) until I had them memorized.
The Star Wars trilogy, I only beat w the cheat codes.
Sounds just like me. I mapped out the indoor areas on paper, leaving the SNES on for days at a time. But I never finished the game. I collected all the raptor eggs except one. So close !
oh god, I remember beating JP on SNES and like you said, it was all in one shot.
I dunno about this list though, I beat all the Star Wars games and while some levels were tough, it was easy to get powerups and extra lives and stuff. Maybe set to the hardest settings it was tough. I also beat Contra 3, loved that game to death.
with the exception of Jurassic Park and Prince of Persia, I've beaten every other one of those. It just takes practice and time. Something I had way more of when I was younger.
This game was awesome. I wish Ubisoft would stop milking the crap out of Assassin's Creed and make a sequel already. Screw them for ending this game with a cliffhanger.
loved this game and art style
One of the first games I got for this generation, and I loved every moment of it. The visuals were gorgeous, the gameplay was awesome, the story was great, I LOVED the dynamic between the Prince and Elika... I think what most disliked was that it wasn't the old Prince of Persia, and so gave it no chance.
They missed out on a great game.
Great game. I absolutely would love to play a sequel, but the fans wanted the old Prince of Persia back, and the fans got exactly what they wanted (we all know how that one turned out...), so that pretty much wraps it up. I can only hope that DmC suffers the same fate. That would be karmic justice for me.
