Wow. Just finished Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Fantastic game, and easily wholeheartedly recommended to anyone who loves videogames. Beautiful, with a good story, interesting characters, and fantastic gameplay. I kept putting off finishing it, because I wanted to savor the first time through while it lasted. Of course, I played the last two hours more or less nonstop. If you know of a game called Ico, which is my favorite videogame of all time, then you’ll have some idea of what POPSOT is like. It’s not Ico, nothing is – but it’s the first game since to even evoke similar emotions, and a sense of wonderment. Fantastic stuff, and easily worth the $50 you’ll spend on it.

Easily.
