Prince of Persia

Release Date: 
Tuesday, April 3, 2007
Game Platform: 
Wii
Star Rating: 
★★★
Yet another Wii port has been cleared for landing. The less-than-secret recipe: Take Ubi's underrated The Two Thrones video game (the third installment in the ultrasolid Prince of Persia series). Add some Wii-type controller waving. Give it a new title that makes it sound vaguely like a gay porno. Then ship it to stores hoping confused consumers will buy it. The game is nice and violent with lots of sloooooooowwww-moootionnn decapitations. And the Prince's new girlfriend, Kaileena, is supremely hot, and fun to look at for the 30 or so seconds she manages to stay alive at the start of the game. But the puzzles will have you scratching your bald spot as you climb all over crumbling castles like an escaped monkey on crack.
