PSychic Gamers' Bargain Buys: Prince of Persia (2008)

Another review for PSychic Gamers' Bargain Buys - great games that you can pick up for a cheap price.

R834 reviews Prince of Persia, the 2008 addition to the series that rebooted the franchise and thrust it onto consoles in glorious cel shaded HD. Is it worth picking up?

I think this game is underrated and a 9 is suiting. People expected it to be like the trilogy, but it's an anime style Prince of Persia. Ubisoft tried out something different and it's absolutely great. The anime style is beautiful. Late review, but good job!

I agree completely.

What a lot of people don't realise is that this isn't supposed to be like the Sands of Time trilogy. This was a complete reboot of the series and took a different route, and while Ubisoft took a gamble, I personally think it paid off.

The cel shading art style is simply brilliant, and the whole world in this game is beautifully made, but of course that didn't appeal to everyone either.

It's a shame that not everybody liked the new style, because this game really brought something fresh to the series and I would have loved to have seen a sequel to it.

They left us with a cliffhanger and now they are too busy milking Assassins Creed and Raven Rabbids

Thanks Ubisoft

It was even more annoying that the Epilogue DLC still didn't really tie up everything!

I think a new sequel to this would be great - the ending is definitely open enough to allow for one.

10 Super NES Games You’ll Probably Never Beat

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.
