when i started playing this game i didn't put it down to play a different game until i beat it 60hours later (not all in one sitting.) the thing i noticed right away was how well the wiimote is used in the controls. everything from shooting arrows to slashing away with your sword is smooth. each item you get is put to such great use in the dungeons and throughout hyrule. the bosses are massive and only add to the epic tale. the story is great and midna is easily one of the best characters every made. the puzzles are challenging and some requier a lot thinking power to solve. but the best thing in this game, without a doubt in my mind, is the final boss battle against gannon, when link throws his items aside to have the final battle with a good old fashion sword fight. i would play the game a hundred times over for that final battle. overall, is games only flaw is the graphics. if they were up to next gen standerds, the game would be perfect.

It was a good idea to port Prince of Persia to the Wii, but the end result is no where near the as good as the first. The graphics are solid for a Wii title so its not much better then its PS2 version. The same goes for the sound. The part that really brought this game down was the controls. It was so difficult to control the prince, I threw my controllers down in frustation! When I played the games on the PS2 I had fun, but not with the game on the Wii.
