It probably went unnoticed because they forgot to tell anyone it was coming out. I didn't know it had been released until I saw it in the store last weekend.

I think developers should take a look at how poorly ALL the new prince of persia games sold and take a damn hint. NOBODY CARES about the prince of persia, its dull, boring, set in the sand (which makes it dull and boring), and people hold some predjudice against middle easterns after sept 11th, wether we admit it or not.

Thats what I take from the sales figures at least.

p.s. thoughts and concerns stated by me have no reflection of any truths or facts. I have nothing to support this claim, it is just a hunch. and my uncle is from Iran, my cousins are part middle eastern, so I am not racist. shut your mouths flameboys in advance.

It was a good game...and by eliminating 'death'...it was one smooth flow....but it became a chore collecting light seeds and killing enemies by performing same limited moves... the art direction of the game was good...but its hard to justify $60 price tag...as there is no replay value whatsoever..unless you want to collect all the light seeds...

the problem is that there's not enough gameplay variation and the fighting elements are totally scripted. the game is way too easy. art and sound are both fantastic.

7.5/10 in my book

after my 30th light crystal i ejected the game from the console. i would have to be pretty bored to play it again.

wasnt impressed at all.

my friend got this for his modded xbox and played an hour of it and never touched it again. My other friend rented it and braught it over to my house, got pissed off because you couldn't die or kill dat hoe

.... EVERY review said it was drop-dead gorgeous and a brilliant setting etc.

It's the gameplay, and the choices they made for that gameplay, that people are occasionally complaining about.
What's the fun in a game that's 'kinda' open world, but still very lineair, and where you can't die!? A game doesnt JUST need to be gorgeous and well produced, it also needs to be challenging, creative, fun to keep playing (not repetitive!), varied, etc etc.

The game really looks awesome, but from what I've read about the game, it's not a game I would want to play. Or better said: I'd like to give it a try, but I wont be spending more than 20 bucks on it as I have a hunch it wont be for me. I like my games a bit more challenging and varied (gameplay-wise), plus their have been complaints about the interaction between the bum-prince and the chick.

edit: I'd rather have a new Beyond Good and Evil, or a quality Splinter Cell game again.

They came out at the Wrong Time . The Big Game,s like Gear,s/Fable/FallOut already shot off and by the time Prince of Persia came out NOBODY CARED .

i don't have enough time to play all my games now. and my 360 being broke for a month didn't help

still need to play: dead space, far cry 2, saun white snowboarding, banjo, brothers in arms, cod 5, fable2, gears 2, and mercs

i am not really far in motor storm 2 either

Because it had a realistic approach to the theme of Persia. It's PERSIAN!!!! Not some....f*cking emo wonderland where you hold hands with some magic american speaking gymnast.

Well.. im getting it tommorrow :)

its a good game but compared to the other "better" games that have come out between this its hard to see The Prince as a major title sure its fun and all but its repetative, some gameplay elements seemed better on paper and the story isn't that great I think they should have stuck with the whole rewinding time thing.

honestly the game isn't very good, it is average at best

it looks cool...sometimes and other times it is like "what were they thinking"

it gets boring after a few minutes just like assassins creed

both games were over hyped and then simply under delivered

now that is my opinion and i have the right to state it, if you liked the game that is your opinion and you don't need to police mine

saying a game is repetitive is not a weak reason when in fact there is so little variation t times it feels like you've already played it

that is a very legitimate reason in my book

I like the whole art style but ... i think they took everything that made me love PoP.. i played all of em from the one of MAcs to 2thrones and i love that fact it was dark .. gritty and Extra Dark.. if i may stress... there was blood there was evil not only in the world but within the prince's soul which gave me a good reason to want to see how the story unfolds ... this gmae has none of that and .. u cant die ... i think that takes out the risk in the game play .. when u would play the old prince games u would see a series of jumps and be like.. " oh shyt i can afford to fall or else i would have to response all the way back so u would put all ur mind to get it right" this one has no risk since u know the blue white lady will save u to the last safe platform...

i will rent it thou but not a buy.. L4D .. baby!!

Until I saw at the store last week. There was like no advertising, no hype, nadda. I just got Mirrors Edge, so no game money until January or February.

guess no one wants to be running around as a rag head these days ... who knew...
