It's amazing, speedy and efficient, and available right at your fingertips. That's one of the numerous places where this shines: The fighting system. The majority of the battles are multi-combat. The amount of enemies that you fight through all the first three are reached and surpassed not very far into this. They fit in quite a bit, without this being overly long(it took me around 12 hours). This is faster and more dynamic than the previous ones. At its core, this is an upgraded Prince of Persia, by which I'm referring to the original that started the franchise. They may have lacked the tools and technology, and there was an important lesson that this one proves well: You don't need to make the follow-up a carbon-copy(to the extent you can, anyway) to not stray too far, the key is to stay true to the feel. And it succeeds in doing what that one intended to: bringing them into the third dimension, maintaining the fun and smarts, and even updating it some.

This accomplishes two things: It reinvigorates the excitement of the best of these, after the less-than-stellar '3D'.
