So I never played this when it first came out, but it's been on the pile of shame for a while. And then kindly sponsored by @yossarian.
Thoughts were pretty muted to start with - a bit clunky, didn't seem to have a aged well, pretty awful combat, slow progress no challenge. And it stayed that was for the first few hours to be honest. But then it got going, and I could start to see why people like it - while still clunky the combat found it's rhythm, and the environmental puzzle started having enough challenge to be fun, with the time-rewinding oft needed. And the PC version did show its merits with some nice big views from the final tower etc.
And on top I guess I have to respect it's importance as a title - so I think in generous mood it's ended up being a pseudo-rose-tinted [8]...

Anyway, presumably I owe you some dosh.acemuzzy wrote:Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (PC) So I never played this when it first came out, but it's been on the pile of shame for a while.
