Prince of Persia 3

Sarky

It's pretty nifty, alright. I'm very fond of the speed kill thing, it's a rather nice gimmick that works very, very well. The fight with the first big boss was very satisfying. And taking out two or three enemies at once is just cool.

The dialogue is pretty much back to the SoT style, some nice exchanges between Prince and Dark Prince. It's much better than Warrior Within's "I smoulder with generic rage" twaddle.

The chariot bits can be downright annoying, though. Very unforgiving.

All in all, I'm dead impressed so far. If they added trenchcoats, sunglasses and uzis, it'd be The Matrix. Very stylish indeed.

But when I went to buy a tv for £2.99 last year I was told they wouldn't sell because both parties knew it was a pricing error because the price was so ridiculously low. That was the only way they were legally able to get away without selling me the tv. In this case I just thought it was a good deal, it being a pricing error never occured to me.

Right I'll let you know if they post it anway. Probably doesn't help my account was suspended for a few days during that £5 vouchers incident.

The price on a product is an invitation to treat it doesn't imply a contract. If the price is wrong and you go to buy it at the wrong price they are not obliged to sell it to you as no contract has been made. If you were to have paid for it and then they try to take more money off you they are breaking the law, but if no transaction has taken place they are well within their rights to not sell the product to you.


Picked the game up in GAME yesterday for €30. Haven't played it yet, and wont do until I actually go back and finish the first game. Got half way through it and then got distracted by something else and never went back to it.

Would it make a big difference if you skipped the second game and just went straight to the third one from the first?

Thats what I did and I'm having no problems, there is a little summary of the story so far when you start the it.

Did anyone play it on the PC without a pad (ie: Using the keyboard)?
The deluxe including the other games edition is very tempting, but I reckon it's more suited to console gaming. It's a tough choice.

If you got a console and get it on pc, theres usb adapters that will take both PS@ and xbox controllers, thats what i do with PES.

Anyway those chariot bits annoy the tits off me.

hated the one with the creature in the canal and you jump on him and have to guide him through to knock down the gates, on the 2nd chariot bit now and had to turn it off, annoyed me and its too late to be annoyed

I got the Collector's edition in Game a few days back. Marked at €59.99 and charged at point of sale at €39.99

Not bad for the whole trilogy!

Aagghh those 2 guys after the 2nd chariot thing are driving me up the flam'in wall. Really annoying fight, going to have knuckle down some night and beat them. I give it 2 or 3 goes, then get pissed off.

Still stuck on the first boss at the arena. Did the speed kill and got the first hit in but can't see the dagger flashing for the 2nd hit at all?
The walkthrough isn't much help either.
