    The game is quite basic: all levels look the same, there's no character progress and the atmosphere and setting is poor. Playing with the stylus is funny but buggy sometimes. If you are looking for a Super Mario kind of game (like me) don't buy it or you'll be disappointed.

    This is the worst and most frustrating part of the Prince of Persia series, and I have played them all on all consoles. The controls are so imprecise that certain areas are not recognized at all when touched, that you might fall into an abyss or give up cover in fights without intending to do so. The level design is very repetitive and often has frustratingly set checkpoints.

The controls are so imprecise that certain areas are not recognized at all when touched, that you might fall into an abyss or give up cover in fights without intending to do so. The level design is very repetitive and often has frustratingly set checkpoints. The boss fights are the easiest I have ever experienced in a game, while the rest of the gameplay has a much higher difficulty level, even some standard opponents are harder to defeat than the bosses. So I don't know what Ubisoft had in mind when they hired inexperienced developers to create this DS exclusive title, but these people (Ubisoft Casablanca) should not be hired anymore.… Expand

    Enjoyable, old school platforming with a modern twist. You'll need patience though.

    Though there are issues with the game's controls - and character dialogue is often dreadful - there is, undeniably, a wealth of PoP goodness here.

    Prince of Persia: The Fallen King is a game that just sort of falls into no man’s land. It’s not bad, and it’s not particularly good. While there are a lot of good ideas, the execution isn’t polished enough to realize that potential.
