Is that all you have as a response.

If you look at it objectively, the game does do what Strangelite set out to do, it ain't the best FPS out there, mainly due to not having the same amount of backing that many other games have from the multi-national conglomorates that are EA and the like. Interestingly, if you look at Criteron, they are making "Black", they have exactly 3 times as many people working on that game than what Strangelite had. In fact their art team is bigger than Strangelite itself. On top of all this, they also have other teams working on other projects at the same time, ie. Burnout.

Not that any of this is an excuse, but maybe you could then understand that getting a game made by limited staff on a tight timescale to get a game to a standard that is at the very least is being compared to the likes of Quake4, Doom 3, F.E.A.R and the rest is an amazing feat. But you probably couldn't care less about that.

If you want a fun experience, albeit sometimes taxing, (then again the original prince of persia was ruthless, not like the games today that hold your hand all the way through), then this is the game for you. Lots of bugs with lots of killing in every direction, if you get killed, tough... you best up your game.

As a side note, it was quite refreshing to see a post on a forum that wasn't full of "WTF's" and "IMHO uR 5fps SuXoRs, coz uz a idiot!"
