Currently wasting time on this one. One of the last great games of the PS2 generation. Prince of Persia+++. Camera angles get a bit wonky from time to time, making some of the "puzzles" a little bit difficult to "solve." And as much as I hate to admit it, but this game almost makes you feel as if you are learning a little bit. Okay, it is Sony's version of Greek mythology, but still and all, as the gladiator makes his way through Hydras, Minotaurs, and the Gods themselves, the least of your worries is how closely any of the levels matches Edith Wharton's take on the Greek bedtime stories. Hack and slash your way through this one for under twenty rupees, shekels, or whatever the hell currency Plato bought his cappuccino with.

Puns are bad. Lies are bad. The nut doesn't fall far from the tree. Mixed metaphors will get you sent to hell.

Buy it used if you have to. Get a damn Xbox if you don't already own one (uh, with the 360 out, you can now qualify for retro cool)...anyhow, one of the latest games spinning in the the ol' Gates-game system...pretty impressive. Creepy game. Intuitive controls. Fucking A++ soundtrack (Badalamenti)....Playing the blues restores sanity...say no more. 2 hours in and already scared goofy three times. Spoiler: Be careful what you look for in mirrors. If there is any minus on this game...and this is a big ass one Xboxers, so listen up, the autosave feature can be disabled. Why? Who the hell knows? At the four hour point...and the scotch saturation juncture, time to go to bed....progress not saved? Damn. Good news is, that Indigo Prophecy offers enough branching storylines...enough choices to change the outcome, that this game has an above average replay value. I paid $32.99 used....look for the price on used to come down below twenty bucks in the next month or two, and jump on this one. Seriously. Creepier moments than that kid in Black and White who haunts your ass for not saving him from drowning (Yes...you get your opportunity (SPOILER) to do the same here).
