[aaron]

so i just completed prince of persia (loved it) and i'm googling and i find there's an epilogue available from the playstation store... is it worth paying and downloading? any additional stuff? how long is it?

Prince of Persia Epilogue is very short experience with an ending that's less intriguing than that of its retail counterpart. The new additions are nice, but this is really just for fans of the first game who want a little more. And I do mean just a little. This shouldn't take any seasoned POP player more than two hours to beat. And though you unlock two new skins and there are new trophies/achievements, there's really no reason to play through the Epilogue a second time. Were this a $5 download, I'd be more inclined to recommend it, but $10 is a pretty steep price for so little added value.

i might also add that I also loved PoP, and the Epilogue... is garbage.

Its pretty awful. Seriously let me list some numerous flaws in the game:

- The platforming goes from a relaxing pace, to hair tearingly hard. With other games structures, this might not be so annoying, but when PoP puts you back at the start every time, you just want to scream.

- The bosses are an outright insult. Firstly, there's just the king again, just like when you fought him at the end of the real game. Then the other boss, this "shapeshifter" is just Hunter/Warrior switching forms. There is NOTHING new about it, you're paying to just get the same boss you already played thrown at you another 7 times. And the worst thing is you basically have platforming bit... then a boss. They occur so frequently that they get way too repetitive and frustrating.

- The new power plate is just the red and blue power plates from the original game. Again it offers nothing new.

- The awesome graphics and style are completely put to waste by the dull, uninspired location that's just grey wall after grey wall.

Just youtube the first and ending movies, because you miss NOTHING in between.
