Well I feel the game deserves more than 6.5. The developers have tried to break the monotony and have some good innovation like elikas help. But yes the Veteran gamers who have played POP all along will miss a lot of elements. The game could have had some more freedom with the swords and the single enemy at a time is stupid. The game lacks challenge. They must have made elikas help optional but that would have meant writing a whole lot of code. But otherwise its pretty darn good.

7.5/10

Lure the monster (Warrior) to the edge.Deflect his attack be pressing right click.He will try to stamp U ... Then Erika comes and U need to press Left Click quickly to reverse that ... And he will push him down.

you are right man i was waiting for this game so long and this game is so disappointing.
good graphics..really refreshing...but the game play is so sad..i was surprised that this game got good reviews and hence i was going to start a thread regarding this and thts when came across your thread.

i am so bored with the game already ...just running after seeds and beating easy enemies.
i rate this game 5/10
compared to Warrior Within 1/10.

^^^ZOMG Warrior Within 1/10 Dude u seriously need to reconsider what u like in games, AFAIK Warrior Within was one of the best PoP game ever, it was the one which paved path for next iteration 2 Thrones, Combat was just awesome in it, 2 weapons, use of environment in combat, immersion in the game by pulling off a feeling of pressure and being hunted, I can go on and on. Some folks didn't like its Metal-Rock music but had they listened the soundtrack more carefully then they would've realized that it came only in he heat of the battle, rest of the time it was Arabian-Indian music suiting perfectly to the background. I think music wise too Warrior Within deserves 10/10.

The menu music wasn't nice at all! Did you listen to that music while the Dahaka was chasing you? They're awesome! Also, the one at the end, during the credits, "Straight out of Line" by Godsmack. Thats second only to "I stand alone"(This was also used in Dahaka chases).

Dahaka chases used to be some fun! I remember my heart thumping in my throat as the screen went monochrome as the Dahaka came closer. Never er have I found myself in such a situation except in Freespace 2.

And that feeling I got when I said along with the prince(roared morelike) to the Dahaka, "Just try to catch me!". Wonderful! Uncomparable to this farmer's paradise of a seed collecting game.

Oh, and to those who asked for the price: It costs around Rs. 2500/- Now I know I've been against this game, but I am a true PoP fan. Thus, I'll buy this when I get a new Graphics card. My graphics card is not able to run this cel-shaded idiocy where it can run all other PoP games without a hiccup (Except that backward compatibility problem causing PoP1(the oldest one, for DOS_). Oh, and at least this one is a better game than PoP1! ;)

lol...POP:SOT is still the best one for me, WW comes third after T2T. On difficulty level WW was too easy. Music was good but nothing spectacular...instead that godsmack track ruined the game for me, but the dark tone background score was a plus point (but the music in T2T when he is in cave and ascending tower is so poignant and you actually feel too lonely at that point).

Combos were great in the WW and T2T. But the feel of defeating enemies was great in SOT. Prince looked authentic in SOT.

WW lost the innocence and juvenile feeling. But still it has many innovations and treasures too keep the game interesting.

At last all three games were a unique experience to me. I loved them all. But I will not play this EMO version of Prince and Elika...lol. It looks like a game for toddlers...not my dough to savor.
