I dunno I'm not too far into the game but I find Elika a lot more interesting then Princy boy over here with the scarf... sure his character design is awesome artistically but he's plagued by having EXACTLY THE SAME PERSONALITY AS EVERY OTHER ACTION ADVENTURE HERO EVER (whether they be in games or movies)
See it's gotten to me so much that I had to push the dreaded caps lock.... but sometimes it seems were stuck between Mute Link-alike, Brendan Fraser and mopey-mcwhiney-kins.
So I couldn't really critic Elika being a mishmash of 3 stereotypes with the one big one walking next to her. But then I can already see Elika exerting all her energy and dying, or ascending to a higher plane of existence, or she was already dead and just being kept alive by life seeds until her job saving the area is done.
I'll just say I'll be supremely surprised if she's alive for the credits and not shoved in a fridge somewhere (that or she'll just lose her powers and therefore stop being awesome). When you know a character's going to die it makes it very hard to form an attachment to them...

I know its only my first PoP game, but I fail to see what all the gripe is about with the new Prince. Its a completely new series, the platforming is amazing, and you can control how much story / chit chat you want to hear. I've heard great things about the Sands of Time trilogy, but this is a new series, give it a chance.
I've never quite figured what people's beef was with Warrior Within and Two Thrones. Sure, they may have been drastically different in style to the Sands of Time (espec. WW), but they were still great games. Also, I can't help but feel it seems a bit fruitless to disregard those 2 games and take Sands of Time on it's own. They are meant to be a series after all and without that ending to The Two Thrones, Sands of Time would really just be another game. Still a very good one, but it still wouldn't seem the same, really...Say Anything said:
argh! maybe you should have noticed that i already made a comment almost to the same effect but more correctly said Ubisoft started in France! Not only that i noticed he said he was publishers not american developers!Fightgarr said:
but on second thought he doesnt really bash Americans he says "Publishers think that Americans cant relate to anything but Americans" and then he says "we should try to give them (americans) credit"
SO I GUESS HES REALLY BASHING PUBLISHERS!!!!
I should rephrase, a GOOD joke shouldn't be insulting and be funny to all. Web definitions: activity characterized by good humor.Say Anything said:
I thought the game was actually pretty damn fun. Then again it's not my job to get all anal about every little thing i can possibly find.
Thankfully i just watch these for the comedy and don't let them influence my every single video game purchase like some people seem to.

This game would have been better if it was faster. Sliding, running, wall-running, etc. were all so nauseatingly slow that, combined with the inherent effortlessness, it made me want to load up Ninja Gaiden II to remember what good platforming was like.
...Yes, I just compared NGII platforming favorably. I'll give you a second to wipe your brains off the wall.

Yeah definitely the funniest and most accurate review in a long while...
maybe Yahtzee should always have a week off to perfect his craft? Just saying...

Spot on as usually, specially the fight sequences, they're so annoying, but in general words the game is great
