Prince of Persia - Rival Swords on Wii (2007)

Brilliant!

Dimitri from London, England , 16/08/2007

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.

Good fun!

I was not sure what to expect from this game to start with, as I have not played any of the pervious prince of Persia games. Getting to grips with the controls was easy and well explained within the game, performing the acrobatic stunts was a lot of fun and so is playing as the Dark prince. The only thing I found a little strange was the combat scenarios as they seemed a little too slow and unresponsive.

Personally enjoyed the boss fights and the acrobatics and combined with ok graphics I found this game to be very enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone.

Good but not great

A customer from Blyth , 27/01/2008

The game starts off with a really good story line, but that gets forgotten when theres so many things to learn. The different sections to navigate were well thought out, but if you miss and it starts again you hear the same audio again and again which could drive a person mad! This game is defiantly worth renting but be prepared to play it for a while before it gets really good

Completely Average

Completely Average. Not bad, Not good. It's the sort of game you'll play for an evening and never play again. It's worth a rent if your a 'P of P' fan but not worth buying
