All told, this is a great debut for the Prince of Persia series on the PS3 and Xbox 360. [Jan 2009, p.74]

IGN UK

Ubisoft has delivered an incredibly polished, tremendously enjoyable and utterly lovable experience here. It takes all the best elements of previous franchise entries then expands and refines them to create an absolutely unforgettable adventure. It’s magical in every sense of the word.

It has its shortcomings, but I already sense that Prince of Persia will be one of the few games from this generation that I carry with me for the next decade.

Rest assured, Prince of Persia is every bit the game you wanted – it is the game you were promised and a whole lot more.

Playstation Official Magazine Australia

The story, on call dialogue and expansive world make its most recent rival for parkour champ, "Mirror's Edge," look poorly executed. [Summer 2009, p.56]

3DJuegos

Prince of Persia is an odyssey that manages to transmit the undeniable magic of its proposal. Ubisoft achieves the best adventure game of the year.

VideoGamer

Ubisoft Montreal has come tantalisingly close to creating a real masterpiece.

What the new Prince of Persia has to offer: Easy-going action, a very good story and enough motivation in an

open-world-setting, which contains many questpoints to guide you.

Take my love, take my land..

ME! I've pre ordered it at dvd uk. I'm a sucker for games with cell-shaded graphics, plus the idea of a huge world, platform, action... makes me entirely dizzy. Total must have it is!

I'm getting it, but not because of reviews. I just think it looks like an awesome game.

Its a case of a little to late for me. After getting the following games in the last 2 months...

MK vs DC
Gears 2
Left 4 Dead
Sonic Unleashed

and renting
Call of Duty
NHL 09
Fable 2
Golden Axe

and still wanting to get
Fallout 3
Tomb Raider

...there simply is no room for this game.

I have a feeling PoP will not do so well. I also don't see considerable hype for it. Sad, cause it looks amazing.
There has simply been a storm of amazing games lately.

Don't know if I'll buy it, didn't really like Sands of Time that much and after that I haven't played any.

I wasn't at all hyped for it, but after seeing a few screenshots, I decided to get it for Christmas. =)

That it's getting such good scores is certainly reassuring.

If Ubisoft markets it as well as they did Assasins Creed and Sands of time, I think it will sell quite well. I've seen some trailers that dont do the game that much justice, but if they run this TV spot frequently I think it could even do better than AC:

Of course the name recognition for the franchise wont hurt either...

On topic; I can't justify buying it right now, but if I dont get it for xmas I might just have to justify it as an early birthday present. Its one franchise that I never think will appeal to me, but then when i play it, I love it to death and it ends up being a keeper in the collection.
