Another Graphics Casualty

"Prince of Persia 3D" is yet another example of sophisticated graphics substituting for content. The 3D graphics, while technically advanced, are often confusing, and often run very slowly. "Prince of Persia 2", released in 1993, was an appropriate continuation of the 1990 original. The levels were more challenging, both in the physical and the mental sense--there were many tricks to figure out. But in "Prince of Persia 3" it seems to take forever to get anywhere. Readers would be best advised to purchase the "Prince of Persia Collection" which contains both Prince of Persia 1 and 2. It also costs much less than "Prince of Persia 3D."
