Like I mentioned in this post, this game took great pleasure in cockblocking me at every turn.
At the start of this game, it deceived me into thinking that it was going to be a cakewalk because the first half of the game involves nothing more than you finding the next ledge to jump off from and maybe kill a few enemies who almost always have their backs turned away from you. Also from what I remember from the original PC version, you spend the majority of the game trying to figure out how to get through the different levels by jumping, running, and avoiding getting killed.
True to form, you get to do pretty much the same stuff here. Only awesomer. If you’ve seen the Youtube video I posted in the linked entry above, you’ll see the fun part of the game. Where you get to do acrobatic stunts like knife-slash-ride down curtains, wall-run, wall-jump, and kill shit. All because the Prince does not know how to open doors.
Seriously. There are countless doors in this game, but you cannot open a single one. You can break through walls, you can discover hidden passageways to the next level/room, you can control the flow of time. But once you’re faced with a normal, everyday,garden variety wooden door, the Prince will sit there with his thumb up his ass until you figure out his next move.
