December 2, 2008 - Some issues here and there disrupt [Prince of Persia's] goal in surpassing The Sands of Time, but it's an incredibly enjoyable journey nonetheless.

January 15, 2009 - Prince of Persia is an interactive extension of what good fiction tries to be, and while it's not for everyone, it can often leave you with a desire to come back for more.

December 3, 2008 - The fact that Elika literally won't let you die could make things feel too easy and auto-piloted for some die-hard hardcore players. But we didn't mind, and would still recommend Prince of Persia to everyone - it's too good, too beautiful, and too charismatic to pass up.

December 10, 2008 - [Prince of Persia] offers the specific gameplay features that fans of the series will be looking for, while establishing a sequel-ripe new world and story arc that are every bit as engaging as those of the previous trilogy.

December 5, 2008 - The platforming fluency is seductive, but it's a language of indifferent thumbing yawned through timing windows as wide as a house.

Mediocre
December 3, 2008 - Prince of Persia is a disappointment because the game has a lot going for it but all in disparate elements that don't feel fully fleshed out and don't blend together despite the amazing visual splendor that wraps it all up.
