I really hope they don't have DRM, I really wanna get this game.

I LIKE that you have to push more buttons in Prince Of Persia. It requires much more skill than holding R1 and pointing in the direction you want to go.

Agreed. I'd much rather hear about how Forgotten Sands compares to the Sands of Time trilogy and 2008's Prince of Persia than Assassin's Creed. Can you even call "hold down a bunch of buttons and pick a direction" platforming? To my mind, the parkour in Assassin's Creed was just a way of getting from A to B without continually running into beggars; I didn't find it fun or interesting in its own right. (I haven't played AC2, so I can't comment on that, but it's basically the same deal, right?)

Then again, I adored the parkour in Mirror's Edge, so you know I'm coming from the masochistic end of the player spectrum.

(is suddenly very suspicious)
1. I've only played AC1 but really want to play AC2, can't wait to go swimming in it!
2. I haven't played the current POP PS3 game cos no one's said anything good about it. But if this new game will be more like the original trilogy then goodie gumdrops!
3. I LOVE Mirror's Edge!
