OK start, but it gets much much better

The Prince Of Persia series is one of my favorites out there, I've played all of them and this is definitely one of my favorites. It is, however, much different than the rest. Prince Of Persia focuses almost exclusively on acrobatics and storytelling. The story may seem a little ridiculous but it serves for an interesting premise that surprisingly, doesn't get old. When i first started the game, I thought, "Oh no, this isn't gonna be good." I had already played through the game when it first came out and i loved it. Upon first starting the game, I wondered if all the user reviews were right and it was bad, but I found that you just need to play it for a while. Throughout playing it, The Prince and his female cohort, Elika, develop a relationship that really makes the game worthwhile. Sure the gameplay is good, nothing fantastic but the acrobatics are fun and the combat can be satisfying. But it's the character interactions that make this game great. I think that this is a must rent just because of how much you start to care about the characters. This game really made me feel and the ending hit me hard.
