First off I need to say I've loved all the other PoP's, especially the last one they came out with. The graphics, game-play, combat, pretty much everything about that game rocked.
I was hesitant about this title though, being released soon after the last one and the PoP movie. ( I know its not based on it). Nonetheless, as soon as I saw it in my mailbox I ripped it open and jumped right in.
After about 10 mins it was back in the package in the mail. I thought the game was extremely sub-par. The camera sucked, the combat was like I was playing a PS1/2 again.(I know some of your are going to say i shouldn't have given up on it so quickly, but when you know a game sucks, you just know it sucks.) The graphics were so-so(I thought the last PoP's graphics were unreal)
Overall I would not recommend this game based off my short game-play experience of it.

This game was great. Everything I expected it to be for a Prince of Persia game. From the fighting to the acrobatics, it is a fun and challenging game. However, once you get towards the end and you are finding your way to the top of some very tall buildings, you must be careful about falling. I had misfortune and fell. When I re spawned, as I did not have the ability to rewind time, I was in a room with only a hall to exit thru. This exit only lead to a dead end. While I liked the game, I lack the patients and time to play all the way thru the game again. So for those of you out there ready to take on this game I say to you, enjoy but don't fall from your glory.

I expected the same fun as the first 360 Prince of Persia, a real treat.

In this installment, the graphics are "HD" and good quality in some of the expansive cutscenes. The character is made to look somewhat like Jake in the movie. I do not know if this game parallels the movie or not.

The controls are similar but too often sluggish. Not that you could make a sandwich after pressing "A" to jump pole-to-pole, however it takes a good tenth of a second for the Prince to jump after hitting the button.

The camera often gets panned around behind columns during skirmishes, hiding your enemies.

Well, despite trying to put in a nice, unbiased review here, I simply did not like this sequel.
