AndrewTS Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I've seen it pretty cheap up at my EB, and wondering if it's worth trying. I'm up for a decent platformer on GBA, but the Gamefaqs reviews don't really help much (they overrate or under-rate most everything). Anyone have it? I know it's just a port of an old SNES game, so it's been around.
razazteca Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 It plays like the classic Prince of Persia.
Youth N Asia Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 I loved getting info from the guys chained to the wall, only for BOOM! Reverse shotgun blast to the skull. If it's just like the SNES game I'd pick it up cheap, but it's not easy.

If it's just like the SNES game I'd pick it up cheap, but it's not easy. I've seen reviews for the 16-bit/32X version, but *nothing* for the GBA port. So I don't know if it is a good port or a bad port.
Slayer Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Played it back when it came out in late '94. Holy shit has it been that long...? I remember this was a time when Donkey Kong Country was the big wave ...anyways, it was a pretty good game I thought. Like Prince of Persia if you had guns and grenades instead of swords
AndrewTS Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Posted March 2, 2005 Better controls than the old PoP, right? I should hope so...
Youth N Asia Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Yeah, better controls. I don't believe there was any jumping, and I don't even think the guy ran.
Highland Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 I loved getting info from the guys chained to the wall, only for BOOM! Reverse shotgun blast to the skull. I remember that too. Another reason to get the game.
AndrewTS Posted March 9, 2005 Author Report Posted March 9, 2005 They had sold the game but I found a used SNES copy at a pawn shop in town for $5.99. Pretty good, but not the game I expected. It was hard to picture a "Prince of Persia with guns", but yup--that's what it is. I wish more games had that sidestep from the line of fire. Yeah, better controls. I don't believe there was any jumping, and I don't even think the guy ran. He runs and jumps PoP style. You hold down the Y button and he runs. You can jump, but pretty much only straight up to grab onto ledges and to leap across gaps.
