Prince of Persia -- check!
So... Prince of Persia for the PS3. It's a very pretty game, easy to get into, and has likeable characters (though the Prince is a bit too chatty sometimes). BUT. The ending... was terrible.
So... why the hell did the Prince revive Elika? Okay, yes, there was some growing romantic interest between them, but I thought he would be smart enough to know that... yes, she died, but she died trying to right her father's wrongdoing. Did he just forget that whoooole epic journey they just went on? I dunno. I'm just really disappointed in him because I thought he would know better than that. I thought he could let her go and rest in peace.
Another terrible thing about the ending is how you're in control of the Prince the WHOLE time. He puts Elika on the altar, and the camera pans around to show the glowing trees that seal the temple door. Me?
"IT'S SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS ALL OVER AGAIN." and "OH NO."
At this point, you may have control over the Prince's actions, but you have no control over the outcome of the whole ordeal. You can't just NOT cut down the trees and NOT revive Elika... you have to in order to get the game done and over with. I have to admit that it's a very powerful tool because of the helplessness you feel, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! ;;
Ughhhh. There's an alternate ending that you can buy for 9.99 on the Playstation Store or wathever it's called, but like hell am I going to buy it *youtubes*.
But finally, this game is done and over with. Now I need to find some Prince and Elika fanfic!!11
