One of the new concepts in this game is something called the
"Speed Kill" that really makes this version cool. It gives the combat a
stealthy feel and adds a reward to taking out a foe before they realize
you're there. The reward is that you don't have to kill them but that
helps you as go through the game. All of the larger environments in this
game almost become amusement parks they are so huge.
Apart from the Speed Kills, playing as the Dark Prince is tons of fun,
especially if you enjoyed the God of War game. The Prince totes around a
lengthy blade called dagger tail that literally rips an opponent to shreds
from a distance. Along with the new stealth portions of the game you have
a mix of straight out fighting and tactical thinking. The graphics are
awesome with fluid animation, dramatic lighting, acrobatic maneuvers, the
flow of the combat and environmental detail, and even the way the Prince's
hair blows as he walks makes this game really come alive. The game's soundtrack
is similar to the music in the Sands of Time game. Overall this is a great game.
