Prince of Persia - Meh.
Cel-shading (illustrated) simulating textured graphics. Overwhelming graphical work (done very well) is completely wasted on the lowly 360 specs. Frame rates seem painfully low. I'd love to see this game on a souped-up PC.
Gameplay is mediocre as well. Combat is very infrequent, the jumping around is too slow to be as funny as necessary, considering it is 90%+ of the game.
Levels are too basic as well. Evil black goo surrounds the environment, but it simply reaches out for you for visual effect, nothing more. Another scene has a rising pool of goop, but it only rises each time you hit a new (invisible) checkpoint in your ascent. Lame.
That and every level appears to be exactly the same thing, with mildly different settings for the same stunts followed by a far too easy battle against bosses.
Painful dialogue, and the main character (you) should be a member of
Hot Chicks with Douchebags. Some of the combos when fighting make her presence interesting, but by and large she just exists to make the game easier (catches you after any fall) and stroke the main character's ego (she can fly, do all of the same acrobatic stunts, yet she clutches to his back needily anytime he climbs across vines).
