Now Playing: Prince of Persia(2008)

 Looks like mad cash.

Onto the reboot it is!

 Seriously, Forgotten Sands was a good looking game, but its predecessor, this game, looks SO good, Ubisoft clearly dumped a lot of money on this project. Textures are clean, character models look beautiful, vistas are gorgeous and clothes flow so nicely... it's quite a looker.

 A lot of people gave this game flak for streamlining the death process, but that wasn't the only thing that was simplified... Combat is now a fun, but simple, one-on-one duel. Every time. Controls are much simpler, no longer do you need to use R2 to run on walls, the Prince is smart enough to do it on his own. It's simpler, but it doesn't hurt the game. I haven't had the need for Elika's life saving abilities yet, but it sounds like it suppresses a lot of waiting when you die and need to be sent back to the previous checkpoint, so I'm alright with it.

 All in all, Prince of Persia(2008) seems like it's gonna be a great ne.
