Over 10 years have passed since Prince of Persia's debut, and computer game technology has improved exponentially. Red Orb Entertainment puts that technology to good use in the attractive Prince of Persia 3D, the third--and hopefully not last--title in the popular series.
Players assume the role of the Prince of Persia, who's once again forced to fight through an increasingly difficult set of areas to track down the kidnapped Princess. During the adventure, you'll battle guards, bandits, and other evil henchman while utilizing a varied selection of melee and bow weaponry. Crafty level design ensures plenty of familiar lever, floor panel, and rope-swinging puzzles. (Watch out for those spike traps!) Maneuvering the Prince within the new 3-D environment is perhaps the only minor gripe; lining up jumps and navigating tunnels with the sometimes too-fast Prince can become a tricky endeavor. Boasting startling 3-D graphics, dazzling levels, and familiar, easy-to-learn gameplay, Prince of Persia 3D should both delight old fans and collect many new ones. --Doug Radcliffe

Customer Reviews of Prince of Persia 3-D
good intentions, but they did not live to the game The promise for this game was awesome. However, even with a very good PC specifically loaded with hardware for games, the Prince of Persia 3D was an unfulfilled promise. That is, the flaws make the game not worth it. I guess the engine game is the one to blame. Interestingly that, designed in 1999, and it could not live to Quake III. The price is extremely hard to control, it does not respond to commands immediately, the camera moves wildly and very difficult to see in enclosed traps, etc. The end, with timed 150 seconds for battling the bad guy is definitely not enough unless you are a master. You work against the controlling of the prince as well as the bad guy. More work could be done to the betterment of this game, but I think the company has discontinued.
Good, but...
The third game in the Prince of Persia series suceeded as a worthy sequel in some aspects, but not in others. The 3-D gameplay over-all is quite good. There are a few flaws, like sometimes he'll slow down while my computer was reading the CD-ROM, but it was worth my money.
Despite the good graphice through most of the gameplay the movies were just horrible! The graphics on the first movie (I didn't really care for the first movie) we REAL good, but when it came to the middle movies the characters had square fingers and hands, and deformed faces. The last movis was the best graphic wise, but it was WAY too dramatic! The script-writing was pathetic! It sounded like they wrote the script in the 12th century!
Despite these dissapointments and the two or three major bugs (which the patch fixes), the game was quite good. The sword-fighting was by FAR the BEST sword-fighting I've seen in ANY game. Many people refer to the coltrols and "awkward", really they just take time to get used to. It took me 5-10 minuetes. They aren't much more awkward than the proclaimed Tomb Raider. And the level design is superior to any game I've seen except the first Prince of Persia game.
This game is a must buy for all Prince of Persia fans. For those who have never played the original Prince of Persia and it's sequel, I would suggest you buy the Prince of Persia Collection first. Not that anything would be taken away if you didn't, but it makes it a little more enjoyable as a sequel. If you don't want to spend extra money for the other two, then order it anyway (even if you do miss out on the other two). Thumbs up to Jordan Mechner, Andrew Pederson, and the whold team who made Prince of Persia 3D possible! I can't wait for their next release in this classic series!
Ahead of it's time
This game has been around for some time, but the PC graphic quality and gameplay stack up against anything new out there. Very simple to play, but extremely challenges as the game progresses, this will keep you occupied for quite some time. There are those who will complain that "It's not as good as" but if you want some inexpensive fun, this is a very good platform adventure game, that is better in many ways than a lot of it's rival titles
