Worth playing

PostedJune 5, 2012

I was never really into the Prince of Persia games because I don't really like games with blood and gore. However, this game caught my interest because I saw that it was about time travel. As a huge fan of stories that involve travelling through time, I was immediately intrigued. As an added bonus, this game features much less violence than the original version, so I decided to try it. I have to say, this game cleans up nicely. No foul language, hardly any blood, and it's pretty fun to play. My main complaint is about the story, which seems thrown together randomly at times. While it is an interesting twist to play as the dark prince, his controls seem more stiff, and the plot seems forced at times. I recommend this to anyone who likes the concept of Prince of Persia, but don't want the violence.

Identity Crisis

PostedJune 17, 2011

Prince of Persia Rival Swords is in no way, a bad game. This game just seems to have some trouble finding out what kind of game it want to be. It seems like sometimes it tries to be a hack 'n slash game, while other times it attempts to be an adventure game, and then it tries to be a stealth action game. Sometimes, blending genres can really work, such as in Valkyria Chronicles 2, but that is not the case in Rival Swords. Not only is this lack of stability a problem, but the graphics, while not terrible, are not great. At times if the camera gets too close to the back of the Prince's head, you will see his eyes, OUT OF THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. Also the enviroments dont have a great amount of detail which i do find a problem. A nice part about the graphics though, is how sometimes the camera will pan out and you will get a really good sense of openness and realism in whatever town or palace that you happen to be in. Another up about this game would be the swordplay, there are usually plenty of moves that you can pull off, also there are some cool looking stealth kills. Even though the sword play can be good, and has the potential to be great, there are a few tedios moments in the game where you just end up hacking your way through your enimies. This game made some mistakes with some graphical problem and also an identity crisis of sorts, yet there is some fun hidden beneah that tough outer shell of badness, all you have to do is stick with it and this game may be worth your money.
