if the railroading is quite as bad as Jesse says. The platforming sequences sure, and that's a tremendous shame, but there's a good deal of freedom in how you pick your route through the world. I spent a few hours intentionally steering opposite of the way Elika suggested I go, but never ran into an invisible wall or barrier, just another interesting path to take... and by the time I'd played everything I could that way, I already had enough light seeds to unlock the next path.
If there were a little more complexity to the gameplay, PoP would be one for the ages. As is, we'll have to see if it manages to step out of the Sands of Time shadow.
