Most helpful review Prince of Persia: Rival Swords

Brilliant!

By Dimitri from London, England , 16 Aug 2007

[Highly rated reviewer]

Having played Prince of Persia: Sands of Time on the PC and absolutely loving it, then being a bit disappointed by Warrior Within on the same platform, Rival Swords on the Wii has exceeded all expectations.

Although there's the addition of the Dark Prince in this one, I actually found it a lot less dark than Warrior Within and in fact, much more like Sands of Time. It seems that they kept some of the innovative features of Warrior Within and brought back some of the more enjoyable aspects and brighter scenery from Sands.

The graphics on the Wii are quite good, especially when used with a component cable on an HDTV and the cutscenes in particular are truly stunning and on par with films like Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. The best thing about it on the Wii however are the controls. Using the Wii remote to control the camera is surprisingly easy and not at all confusing. Both the remote and nunchuk are used for fighting and make battles smoother and much more intuitive.

Overall, a great game for a great console.

By Valiant (1 review) from Bournemouth , 27 Apr 2009

40 minutes of my life i will never get back graphics are good but that much time learning combo controls! I like to play a game for for fun and honestly once they started first person gaming these types of games should have died out

Good but frustrating

By a customer from West Midlands , 13 Feb 2009

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

Prince of persia has some good gameplay and the cut scenes are really good graphics, but this game is reministant of assasin's Creed which I played on the xbox (before this).

I do like all the little slow-mo battle moves but apart from a couple, I find i'm just shaking the wiimote and nunchuck around just to disperse the enemy.

What frustrated me was the dark prince section and the lack of water fountains (save points) I'm not very good against the clock and it took the pleasure out of the game as I was constantly redoing the same section over and over again with no save points. This is where the game lost interest for me. Great rental, good use of the wiimote and nunchuck (although mine kept saying please connect nunchuck halfway through a battle scene, even though it was firmly in) but turned out to be not my kind of game.

So if you like assasin's creed and other similar adventure games, then add this to your list, from what I hear though this is a remake off another platform - so if you're an avid Prince of Persia fan, you've probably already played it!
