    anyone looking forward to this game? for me the sands of time trilogy were one of my favs in the past generation, and this one is impressive so far.

    I for one am looking forward to it. The PS2 trilogy was pretty decent through and through. While many complained about the sequels, I thought they were pretty zawesome. Each one managed to add the right amount of extra elements to make it refreshing without being too different.
    While messing around with time-control was the best, elements like the Dahaka chases, the sand-wraith and the dark prince only made it better.

    The only terrible thing in fact was the awful Nu-Metal music they decided to add to them. Way to please the angsty-teens at the expense of atmostphere.

    So yes, looking forward to this one too. Will probably be my little present to myself on top of the new laptop. :D

    I have loved every Prince of persia game, they are just plain awesome, and have much of action in it, even Back in the old times when Prince of Persia the shadow and the flame was out :D

    PoP WW was sweet. Looking fwd to this new one, though the gameplay vids showed it to be a bit, lame and easy.

    Looks like a great game. I loved the Sands of Time, but I missed out of the rest of the trilogy. I hope it runs well on my laptop. Going off of the system requirements alone, it should.

    I think I'm going to make this an early Christmas for myself :)

    By the way, you can get the PC version for $30 at some places.

    Obviously this game will have Xbox360 controller support. But there's something that I'm not sure about with this game. It's open ended, but this is an action game, that kindof tells me that this game will get really repetitive. It's out in a little over 2 weeks though, so I'm sure I'll see plenty of screenshots and people's thoughts on it then..
