Prince of Persia Classic - Gameloft's march back in time

image001 There are games and then there are GAMES. I know you have probably heard by now that Gameloft had made a mobile version of the undying PC classic Prince of Persia (and gave it the not so creative "Prince of Persia Classic" title). That's right, boys and girls - the remake of the first part of the series and a mighty fine one if I might add.

If you don't remember the 80's game on PC it's alright. In a way.Suffice to say this title not only revolutionized the gaming as we knew it back then but was one of the titles that CREATED IT. Now when you've geared up on essential knowledge- read the rest :)
I won't get into great detail - you can read a thorough review on Pocket gamer and I don't really see why I should write a long review, when there is one I can easily agree with.
However, I will tell you the following - even though I'm often accused of being a little too picky when it comes to game features and design there is nothing (or at least nothing major) I would change in this game if I were the one making it. With great graphics and controls, sliding on the edge of perfection, unlockable game modes and a list of achievements to complete the title have some lasting appeal and I dare say it's one hell of a game altogether. And yes - I do feel like I'm playing Mario every time I pick a coin in the game, but the classy Classic mode (pardon my unsuccessful joke attempt) becomes available soon enough, and from this moment on it's old time goodness all the way.

Graphic and sound 9/10
Gameplay 9/10
Value for money 9/10
Novelty Remake
Total 9/10

The bottom line - Highly recommended. A great mobile game.
