Prince of Persia Limited Edition

Prince of Persia Limited Edition Review

This is a great game, but paying the extra + dollars for the limited edition is not worth it. I only got the limited edition when it was sold on Amazon on sale for .99.

The limited edition is essentially the regular version plus an extra Blu-Ray disc. This bonus disc has a "soundtrack", making of videos, art gallery, and a snippet of a help guide.

The "soundtrack" was disappointing since you can't play it from a CD player or transfer to an MP3 player. What's worse is that they are more like 2 minute background music loops. Nothing special there.

Some of the bonus videos could have been found on the UbiSoft website.

Art galleries are nice but a paper book would have been better.

The hint guide is more of an ad/preview for the printed version. And since this game is so short... do you really need it? It's also hard to read the hint guide text on the screen unless you have a really big TV screen. I'm guessing that the pages of the printed guide were just saved as JPEG's and not specially formatted for the screen.

I'd give the game itself 4 stars.

Excellent continuation of the series - Mondo -
I wasn't too sure how having a new Prince would affect the series, but the game stays true to its roots despite having a different character as the protagonist. Excellent game if you have enjoyed the previous PoP games.

Prince of Persia Limited Edition Review - Protectron - NY, USA
Not sure where the limited edition was being sold for $[...] dollars more that the previous reviewer indicated considering I got mine for the same price as the standard edition when the game was first released. So all the extra stuff for no extra cost sounds great to me.

I've never played a Prince of Persia game before this one and I've heard great things about the Sands of Time Trilogy so I decided to pick this up. I'm glad I did because it's a great game and has made me a fan of the series!

The environments are breathtaking and I thought the design of the Prince's guantlet & sword were pretty cool. I loved stringing together different moves to attack enemies however the difficulty of the game could be a little higher. The trophies are relatively easy to get as well but some can be frustrating.

All in all, a great game for the PS3!
