SUMMARY:
This game is very good if you don't really get extraordinarily involved in games. If you do, your heart may sink when playing this. The once vibrant and cool Prince has become a shell of a man; rude, boring, lifeless, and grim. (Hell, no sleep or safety does that to a guy!)
This is not to say the game isn't 100% awesome. Everything the prince does is extremely realistic, aside from, of course, running across a wall, jumping off it to grab a pole which he swings around to grab a small ledge, then diving off that to land on a bar which he swings off onto a curtain which lands him safely on the ground. Combat isn't ridiculously hard, but requires you to form a good strategy. For example, I usually like to dive off a wall to decapitate them or jump over them and throw them into a bottomless pit.
The camera angles are annoying to a lot of people, but in truth, they helped me to figure out where I was going. If the camera pointed at a ledge, it was obvious that was the ledge I wanted to get to.
This game is also really long, in my opinion. It's not the kind of game you can play for 9 hours straight. After you've been chopped up by a spinning blade, fall into a pit of spikes, or get thrown 1000 feet off a cliff by a gargantuan stone golem a few trillion times, you feel like doing some of those sweet combat moves to your controller.
All in all, it's a must. However, don't bother buying it unless you intend to finsh it. And that may take plenty of time.
