anyone here a PoP fan
i recently got ALL the games for pc (thank you steam)

I've played through all 3 in that series, they are all quite exceptional in terms of puzzles and platforming. Combat is decent, but not anything to write home about.

Story and banter in the first is good, unchained rage and anger in the second one is humorous, and in the third one you get a mix of the two.

Overall I'd say it is an excellent series, and I need to pick up the latest one for the 360.

you're not bothering with the four one they released?
the cell-shaded one

I played that one as well. Its not terrible, but not as good as the first 3 either, imo.

The newest one is actually a story set between the first game and the 2nd game. The cel-shaded game takes place outside the continuity of the first 3.

and you don't get those awesome time powers
what is a PoP game without falling off a cliff and watching your bones reknit themselves and spring back to the ledge?

You're not manly until you play the ORIGINAL Prince of Persia. Where you have 60 minutes to complete the game, period.

That said, I do prefer the Sands of Time trilogy to the new Prince. I liked being able to miss a jump completely and rewind time to undo it - not the new one, where you're just automatically saved by your female companion.

I really want to play the original one, but I don't have the points to get it off of Xbox Live D:

i agree
she doesn't shoot you with arrows
and you don't need to protect her

I've played The Sands of Time and loved it on the xbox. I've recently purchased Warrior Within for the PC but am going to need a controller to play that puppy.
