Epilogue DLC Coming To Prince of Persia

Posted by Soulskill on from the still-not-dead dept.

IGN reports that Prince of Persia will be getting downloadable content on February 26th for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. It will be an epilogue to the original game, and it will add about three hours of gameplay. "Expect everything to be at a higher pace and to keep you on the edge of your seat. Figuring out how to succeed passing this long acrobatic sequence mined with traps or how to defeat this boss before he regenerates his energy will definitely be more intense. What hardcore Prince of Persia gamers want is a challenge and some of them found the game too easy. We understand this. Seeing such feedback, our vision and intentions with the DLC coincided with their comments quite well. We wanted to build a challenge and experience even greater with all the tools at our disposal, and let me say that there are a lot: Elika's power, traps, combat system, etc."

    Now that would be a great ending.

    Which game are you describing? That could be 90% of platformers. IF you don't like platformers, don't play them.

    Oblivion had a varied enough mechanic to keep me entertained for most of the game

    Now, that's funny.

    What he said. It sucks. Buy something fun with your money. Like a hooker.

    I actually want to stab the voice actor who played the Prince and whoever wrote his dialog. Maybe I'm crazy, but when I see something like a "Prince of Persia", I don't want them to talk like a skateboarder circa 1988.

    Here's my review, if anybody cares to read it:
