Like everyone else, I too like the "old" prince. He was different from all other non-sense western looking idiots (except Hitman).
yeah the Persian look is teh most tangible one.
POP:WW is fun and the rock music was good, prince looked dark. But I still like the original Persian aura, it looked like so real and authentic.
I didn't like the enemies in WW, SOT enemies were awesome and u felt satisfied after shredding them. Golem was noob, and that bird was utter noob, Kaileena was just too weak, only shadee was the one that gave competition (that too cuz u lacked a real good sword).
Dahaka + time travel + sandwraith was the only plus point in WW.
I wish this time too we will see some escape sequences in new POP. May be its like that if the enemy is big and much powerful u can choose either to run away or fight at certain locations. That would be awesome. You could save some time too, before everything gets corrupted.
