  1. Epilogue offers nice entertainment to prolong the Prince of Persia experience, and that lasts around 2 hours. In terms of duration its cost is very questionable but its gameplay is an interesting challenge, a fact that the original lacked.
  2. A very good addition to a good game, but it is lacking in the style that the original was known for.
  3. Is it harder? Absolutely—but it's also not nearly as much fun, the witty banter between the Prince and Elika is gone, and the ending leaves the player, and the Prince, wondering just what all of the effort was for. Combine that with the short play time (about two hours) and the recycled enemies and you're left thinking that your ten bucks could have been better spent elsewhere.
  4. The original's art style divided fans, but at least in Epilogue we can all agree to being disappointed. [June 2009, p.107]

    For only 2 hours, it is extremely overpriced, taking into account it is the same very easy or very frustrating combat and recycled enemies including the Warriror (need I say more?) Expand
