Prince of Persia Classic on XBox Live
I was looking forward to this game. Too bad it’s not as good as I imagined it to be.
First of all: the load times. Whaddahell?! It’s not loading from the DVD, it’s from the hard disk. And the load times is still retarded long.
The frame rate is inconsistent. This is basically a side scroller; it should always be 60fps. For pete’s sake, Virtua Tennis is fluid at 1080p. The animation is a little choppy, too…hard to ignore that it throws me off.
The controls is just not good, IMO. i think mapping the movement to the analog stick was a bad idea. There’s a DELAY in pressing the buttons and the response on the screen. It’s a constant struggle for me…especially in swordfights.
And, lastly, it’s one BORING game. It’s probably because the gameplay itself didn’t age well.
That’s a waste of $10.
Updated: I played the whole game to the end. I guess it’s one of those games you need to finish no matter how bad it is. I still think it could have been a much better game, mainly because of the horrible controls. There’s a delay, and it the button presses are BUFFERED; it gets annoying not only in combat, but also when trenching through those blades…these guys mentioned the awful controls…but said it’s not a deal-breaker for them…PSSHssssffft…I wonder how much Ubisoft paid them to give an 8.5 for a flawed game?
