Prince of Persia Gameplay
Many people complain about the difficulty of this game. I can't say that the game is necessarily a piece of cake, but just like ninja gaiden for X-Box and maybe Battletoads for NES, difficulty is overrated and is overcome with practice.
The premise of the action is actually very simple: you must find the path from the level's entry point to its exit; therefore, your goal is never in doubt. On the way to the exit, you encounter obstacles that can basically be compartmentalized as follows: booby traps (guillotines, spike beds, removable floors, etc.), doors (they block your progress and force you not only to find the switch to open them, but get back to the door before it closes), and things with swords (guards, skeletons, knights, etc.). The Prince will fight, jump, jog and climb with superhuman acrobatic skills and feats of strength through each maze until he reaches the end.
Using the Prince's moves is, contrary to popular belief, very simple. The Prince can run, he can take one step at a time, he can jump up or forward, and he can hang from ledges. In battle, you can push and parry. These are the only moves he has, and these are the only ones you'll need. What requires some adjustment at first is mainly learning to time your jumps with the game's animation frames, which comes with a bit of practice.
The fourth major obstacle is both the most exciting and frustrating aspect of the game, and it is the omnipresence of Time. You are given a time of 90 minutes to complete the entire game. It seems like a lot (and it's actually more than other versions, because there are more levels in the SNES port), but as the game progresses you'll start to notice the importance of efficiency, and in the end you can only hope that you've done well enough in the earlier stages to have enough time to navigate the later levels, which are incredibly complex.
Graphics
These will be the first thing you notice, and are a HUGE step up from the original PC game. Unsurprisingly, given that the SNES has always been an impressively powerful machine, this is, in my opinion, the best looking of any of the console versions, including the Sega Genesis and Sega CD.
All the levels are lush and attractive in their own way, with the exception of the dungeon levels that open the game (I guess it's hard to make the stone and old skeletons look impressive). Later in the game, you'll be treated to visual feasts, as the levels become much more colorful and distinguished, with some genuinely beautiful visuals, such as some well-placed views of the night sky or incredibly luxurious interior decor. Of particular note is a level that takes place in what appears to be hell, complete with heat distortion that is as immersive as it is impressive to watch.
As amazing as the levels themselves are, the sprites that populate them aren't all that impressive. Each one is smooth in their own particular way, and even the fluid animation, a trademark of the series, is mostly limited to the Prince, as all the other characters move rather jerkily in their attempts to attack you. The only visually interesting character is a late-game boss, a large creature with several arms that jumps around the stage, trying to crush you, also made somewhat ridiculous by its stiff animation.
Fortunately, you don't actually encounter many other characters, so you're mostly left marveling at the Prince's level designs and moves.
Music and Sound
Sound effects are few and far between in this game: there's always the Prince's footsteps; the jingling of swords; a grunt here and there; the strange thud of flesh being pierced by foot-long spikes. There is definitely nothing to highlight.
The other versions of PoP are mainly silent: there is almost no music during the game. This doesn't really detract from the experience, and I'm not saying that the addition of in-game music contributes much to the essence of the game. But it's worth noting that all of the game's background music, from the soothing, intoxicating softness of the early levels to the fast-paced beats of the later ones, is VERY good.
Final reflection
Cheap kills and monotonous repetition aside, however, all the levels are fun to play and solve, and once you really get familiar with the way the game works, you start to take more calculated risks and make better decisions. decisions, greatly reducing trial and error. At that point, with the exception of the cheap boss, most deaths can be attributed to human error. The depth of the game is also wrapped in an excellent visual and aural package. That being said, I highly recommend Prince of Persia for the SNES to anyone with the patience and cunning to get through it, as it is truly rewarding, despite its flaws.
