In This game is visually stunning, and once you master the controls, it's a lot of fun to play. If you were a fan of the classic "Prince of Persia" franchise then this game is your wildest dream come true. As you leap from rooftop to rooftop on your missions, you get a bird's eye view of a marvelously rendered 12th century world. The opening sci-fi riff is a bit off-putting, but you quickly get used to it, and once you do, the action is fast and furious.
