Gameplay:
In this game you start in a dungeon. You have one hour to save the Princess or *sob* she will die. This classic platform game that features traps and sword-fighting, this is very addictive. The levels are well planned and get you very involved (and sometimes frustrated).

Graphics:
Nothing amazing, but decent. I wouldn't write home about it thought. Levels look similar apart from the colour but there are a few real good ones in there. Also, nise fatalities and blood >:D

Sound:
Sound effets were to a minimum, but I gotta tell you falling multiple stories through slate and hitting spikes is a classic!
No music in the game, the game is pretty silent. This could do with some improvement.

Controls:
It looks as if they've learned from their mistakes. Now the Color version of Prince of Persia actually has excellent controls. Nice and responsive just like the original. No problems here. This also means no more crap jumping! Yay!

Final Comments:
Wow, talk about nostalgia! This game is a great all-round-fun platformer. Don't get me wrong some bits can be extremely difficult (and intensely frustrating), and others easy, but a nice mix of both. I say at least rent it and give it a go.
