I just rented it earlier this week. I'm not even half way done with this game, but here's what I think of it so far. (I'd be farther along, but I keep getting distracted by Soul Caliber 2 :D )

The puzzles: Alot of the game is jumping from one place to another, trying to find out howto get from one side of the room to the other. I gotta give some credit to the makers of the game for this. These puzzles are HARD! Any hardcore gamer would love the challenge. For all of you others, chances are you'll smash your controller with a hammer after having to start over from your last savepoint for the 20th time.

The movies: When it goes into a movie part of the game, you might not even realize it. It's poorly done. The faces look almost the same as they do while your just playing the game.

The fights: The fights are really fun. I mean it. I had ALOT of fun with the fights. The only problems are, not enough enemies. Maybe 10 or 15 at a time, and thats it. Then you pretty much have to look around to find more enemies. Also, the fights are WAY too easy. Even with the enemies that take longer to kill, it's not hard at all.

The storyline: It's about average. Nothing special about it, but not much bad about it either.

I give it a C+. Needs more action, fighting, and a better story line.
Prince of Persia 2 will be coming out soon. Maybe it will be better.

If your looking for more of a challenge, and a better overall game(imo) go for Ninja Gaiden for X-box... but be prepared to spend plenty of time... just wondering why your getting your ... *ahem* ... kicked. It's very fun, but challenging as well... but it's a lot like Prince of Persia... which I want to get on Ps2... because I like the controller better.


Good review... I'd give it a B+ myself... because it's fun and easy... but yeah, more enemies is a must.

I played some Ninja Gaiden at Game Stop. Truely an awsome game. I wish I had an XBOX.
G4 gave it a good review too.
