I just bought this game yesterday and I’ve logged about 4 hours on it so far. From first impressions this game is amazing. The camera can be a little bit of a hindrance at times, but other than that I have no real faults with this game. The wealth of abilities you have at the beginning of the game is great. So far the puzzles have required some thought, but not enough to make you quit the game in disgust.

The combat is fun and isn’t over done or under done IMO. My only real problem with the combat is the tendency to hit by one of the other creatures around you when your part way through the finishing motion on a creature that’s been knocked down. That brings me to my next point.

Death, I love the fact that this game includes an ability to rewind time (think Blinx the Time Sweep Xbox ppl, but smoother). The Prince can rewind time up to 10 sec. That little rewind feature has saved me from more than a few deaths already. Being able to rewind when you see your going miss that long jump and travel back to the ledge before you jump is great. No reloading the level due to poor judgment.

Lastly, the story telling is done in a great way without a lot of cutscenes once the game is actually started. That's a plus in my book anyday.

I’d definitely say this would make an amazing rental, and for a platforming or PoP fan, this game is a great buy.

Also, the PS2 version includes the original PoP as a bonus. The Xbox version includes PoP1 and PoP2. I have no clue about the Cube version.
