Game #5 Prince of Persia 3D
In 1999 Jordan Mechner's original clasic returned to complete the trilogy....in 3D. This added dimension brought a whole new level of excitement to a clasic.
The game still features the original's trademark challenges like traps and strategic setups. However, since the game is now in 3D, so are the challenges which means you'll have to get through them like never before. Ropes hanging over pits of spikes, pools of water you need to get through, and stuff which was impossible in the original two games.
There's also a drastic change in the combat system as the prince now weilds four different weapons. One of them is obviously his trusty sword. The other two melee weapons include a quarterstaff and a pair of hand-held blades. The last weapon, being a bow brings an interesting aspect to the game - killing oppponents without actually engaging in combat. There are also a host of magical arrows, some of which can be quite fun to use.
Otherwise the gameplay remains more or less the same, with health and other potions sprewn around, a princess to save and guards after you.
Two major flaws in this game are it's graphics and sluggish controls. It's still really fun but it would've been a lot better if these two flaws could be fixed.

@land This is one of the coolest sounding names on GS
As for as I know, Defias Brotherhood is a quest in World of Warcraft.
And thanks.@lance The older games lack the kind of high-paced action in the new series, but they were classics. They had a better plot for and they're much harder.
Nothing else to say about it.
@oonge I can imagine that you'd prefer to play SoT. The new combat system makes it similar to a hack and slash game.
@lance You can kill regular enemies with ease. The real trouble comes when you have to fight multiple enemies at once......and of course when you're trying to get past a certain gate or trap. And both the original games have skeletons which don't die
@land Unless you could the level 30+ names.

This one is specially appealing to me because I haven't played PoP3D. Okay I have played PoP on NES, on Commodor Amiga and PoP T2T but not his one. Looks neat and I am sure it must have been a grand game.
Come on Alex
It is WOW of course
