Advantages: Good base idea

Disadvantages: All the above

Prince of Persia 3D is a terrible remake of the console classic. They should never have remade this popular game for the consoles and have really created a disaster. Controlling the Prince in itself is probably the hardest part of the game, and can be a very painful process – he’s far too slow, and gets caught up on the smallest bit of scenery and this isn’t aided by the appalling camera views. The camera is like a bee, it just buzzes around and when it does settle down looks the other way, making avoiding pits and those sharp booby traps very hard. On top of this the AI is the worst I have ever seen, two or three swipes and the bloke is dead, no matter what angle of attack. There is no atmosphere created and the sounds are lagging well behind gameplay, in short this is the worst first-person game I have ever played!
