    The best. Only better. A 2D game of this quality, lushly redesigned, is worth a hundred 3D romps. [Sept 2007, p.94]

    I really loved Prince of Persia Classic. It was more than just your typical "enhancement" we find in so many other XBLA titles, yet it remained totally true to the source material while cleverly working in a few elements from the more recent console games.

    Hardcore fans of the Prince of Persia series might want to pick this one up if you're curious as to how the series began, but don't expect a stellar experience like Sands of Time.

    I have to say this is a great remake. Something to consider: this game is 800 credits because although it's only an hour long (technically) it took a group of people time to make as it was remade from scratch, with excellent graphical improvements. This is a lot less that what it would have originally cost you when the old version came out, so stop complaining! It is difficult, but you want to be challenged if you've just paid for something...… Expand

    This game could have been great, but the unresponsive controls make this game frustrating to a point where it is not enjoyable any more. The demo was real easy and I thought the rest of the game would be a little more difficult but not to the point where you repeat the same 30secs about 100 times to get to the next checkpoint. Level one was easy, level 2 a little bit more difficult level 3 starting to get frustrated level 4 impossibly hard. The combat system is slow and unresponsive making it almost impossible to kill the tougher bad guys. The only thing this game has going for it is it looks nice.… Expand
