Prince of Persia 3D

[Zack Burner]

Time for another port of a PC game review! This game is the 3rd game of the classic Prince of Persia series on PC taking a new step in glorious 3D, the question is, how does this game hold up? I'll start with the positive, the graphics are fluid and detailed despite looking pretty dated today. The environments are quite interesting offering a nice change of pace from previous titles. The sound is good too with the Middle Eastern vibes, moody ambience, and some voice overs that do a good job. The gameplay however, suffers, being a little unresponsive that can be a serious problem if you're not prepared. So unless you're a diehard Prince of Persia fan, I'd suggest skipping this unless you're willing to look past the control problem. The later titles do a much better job.
