Lol, I really don't get how people find Mithalas hard, I mean, enemy that changes when in poison, the big guy sucing things in.

The fact that no other living being (that I know of)  in Aquaria can be dragged with bind...

I hate that boss for that simple reason. Otherwise it is pretty easy.

The Creator's final form also requires Sun form.

Actually, the question was if it was needed prior to that  ;)

You need it on the sunken city. I checked that on my second run since I was wondering if it was possible to get to the end of the game without it.

I do! By the simple fact that Oblivion came out in 2006.  ;)

b) your computer being underpowered, which is hardly bad game design.

True.  But it still isn't my fault (I'm not necessarily blaming the game for it. But many games do give a little more slack). And I still failed a lot of jumps by a microsecond even when the pc didn't lag.

(oh, and before you say that it is indeed my fault that I hadn't a decent pc at the time: I'm still not financially independent and depending on my parents my pc would still be running at 100Mhz  ;))

As for the camera angles, I always found it much more important to keep the rhythm than to actually watch the screen; you pretty much always have a chance to look ahead of you and scout out the whole area anyway.

Not quite. The fact that you know things are there is not the same as knowing exactly where when you get there.

And I recall one situation in particular where you had to do a wall jump into a hanging column where I had no idea how far the it was when I started and then the camera would shift into a position where you couldn't even see if you were aligned with the column. For a long time I thought I was probably be going the wrong way because it was a nearly impossible jump.

Look, I've admitted the game is okay. Just highly overrated. And quite frankly the fact that you guys are trying to prove that I suck at it won't change anything since the difficulty of the game was still one of the things that annoyed me the least.

(The thing that bugged me about your review is that the reasons you gave for disliking the game sound less like flaws in the actual design and more like You Kind Of Suck At Prince Of Persia.)

A bit of column A and a bit of column B.

I've played games much harder than Prince of Persia and in which I sucked a lot more.  But missing a jump (and dying) because the camera moves to an awkward angle or because my computer lagged a microsecond is not much my fault.

However it annoyed me a lot more how repetitive (and pointless) the game was.


By the way.  Sonic 3 + Knuckes for the sega mega drive/genesis is THE sonic game and the best game I've played on that system.

True, but at least the first ones weren't ten hours long  :P

That's how disappointed I was with the game. I'm not usually that whiny.

I couldn't disagree more, lol, I consider it to be probably the very best game of all games. It's on the same level as the original Prince of Persia, but even better... Basically it has it all, interesting and cool gameplay, great story and excellent storytelling, enough length for the bucks you pay for it and even some replay value because of all this.

You mean there was a story?

I'll just redirect you here for a more full opinion of my part.

  • My last console was a Sega Saturn
  • The only time I considered buying a console after that was when they announced Panzer Dragoon Orta for the Xbox
  • Consider Prince of Persia: Sands of Time the most overrated game I've ever played
  • More than half of my game collection was bought on discount and many of my favourite games come from there
  • First time I've liked the Graphics in the demo for UT3 was when I set them for near minimum
  • Never played any Nintendo game (including Mario, Zelda, and Metroid)
  • First videogame I remember buying was Command and Conquer: Red Alert, and to this day it is the only C&C game I've ever bought.
  • The only RTS I've played regularly online is Defcon. It is also the game I've played regularly for the longest period of time in recent years.

The sunken city is on the abyss to the left of the entrance of the body.

It has the ruins of a human city. There are a bunch of ghosts around and many rusty pipes.

Yes, it's more than that.

You need a form for that.

The BN12 44D, to be specific, filed under 'Pensioners'. >.>

Remember to bring your ID, birth certificate, and death certificate (if applicable).
