Prince of Persia
Perhaps you've heard of this game?Genre: adventure - platform
Publisher: Konami
Year: 1992
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Laggy inputs, especially on jumps. Press half a second before you want to jump. If only jumping to grab a ledge and climbing down didn't require such precision. You have to be in the exact right spot. Combat isn't fun either.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
The levels seem designed to highlight rather than minimize the game's warts. Climbing and descending platforms and jumps are ridiculously tough in this game but the levels seemed designed to make these two things even more difficult. There's also a 2 hour timer. I guess it gives some urgency but I find it distracting. I'm already playing your dumb game, I don't need motivation to keep going, sheesh.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Save the girl from the evil dude. Even so this is a stone cold classic setting.
Art Style Score: 5
Art Style Notes:
Amazing animation. This version has the best backgrounds of any version of PoP I've ever played. Any way you look at it this game looks great.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Classic stuff
Overall Score: 55
