Pile 09: Prince of Persia


Prince of Persia is the next game on the list. And it may be important, though a bit obvious, that this is the current generation PoP game which came out at the end of last year. The above image shows my progress, it's one of those games which does not follow a certain path so it's not one I can say "oh, I'm up to this part" with too easily. You can see that I have completed 6 of those locations with 15 more to go, 16 if you include that temple there.

It's a game which I made sure I added to the list as I really wanted to play it. It was a great change in pace compared to the other games I was playing at the time (shooters mostly), a nice platform action title which isn't too much of a challenge, due to the fact that you have this woman following you around who fishes you out of trouble at every opportunity. In that way it's kind of the opposite of ICO in that your companion rescues you all the time rather than you having to babysit them.

The Prince of Persia name is one I've been familiar with for many years now. I used to own the classic version on the old Atari ST and bought it again as a downloadable title the other year there. I never got round to really playing the PS2 series though I do own the first and third title. One day I guess I will get round to playing those.
