Teh Good:
Cruising around town causing havoc and crashes, how isn’t that fun
Free updates, man Criterion really does support their game
Online play is seamless and adds another layer to this game
Teh Bad:
More Variety in race modes
Why is Avril Lavigne in this sound track? Like seriously!
I would prefer is the game didn’t take forever to start up at the beginning. I do not need to go my junk yard and see all the new cars at the start-up of the game. It’s quite annoying.
For $20...

Teh Good:
Characters, backgrounds and cut scenes look amazing
Tons of replay value with all different game modes
Online play, no lag issues. So far so great
Teh bad:
Can’t skip cut scenes
You can’t play with a controller. Buy a fight pad or a Fight stick
Matchmaking I never seem to get paired up to someone with similar abilities as me, thus facing superior opponents on a constant basis is frustrating.
I had to put Street Fighter aside for now, I just can`t play with a controller ...

Teh Good:
Pretty Game, Cut Scenes are fantastic
Great level design, well paced, great battles
Multiplayer, great levels, great level progression system
Teh Bad:
Levels feel very short, leaves you wondering where’s the where the hell is the rest of this level?
Useless motion control
Story? What story!
Overall this is a much needed first party game for the Playstation 3. It packs great visuals,great cut scenes, overall great game play. Oh and yes the multiplayer is what pushes Killzo...

Great Transition from PC to Console
4 ways to win a game (Domination, Technology, Cultural, and Economic).
16 Civilizations to choose from to play! Hours upon hours upon hours upon hours upon hours [...okay you get the point] of gameplay
Teh Bad
Multiplayer games can take forever
New players can be overwhelmed with the amount of tutorials and information at the beginning
Minor obsession (not really a bad thing is it?)

Plenty of mountain space to go boarding
The game looks amazing
Plenty of potential to be a great snowboarding game
Teh Bad
The game tells me I'm a speed demon but it feels like I'm driving Miss Daisy
Plenty of bugs in the game (when you stand still on your board it disappears)
Not enough challenges
Conclusion
So far I have to say I'm enjoying the game however; there are plenty of bugs in the game. The Assassins Creed...

Great level design
The games audio really adds to the overall feel of the game
Pulling off a flawless run or combo leaves you with a rich of adrenalin
Teh Bad
Trial and Error
Gun play is weak
Levels are quite short
Â
Conclusion
Dice has done something very different in the first person genre, where guns are a necessity to beat levels and ultimately the game. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to give ...

Teh Good
Level design
Easy controls allow the combos to be pulled off easily
Platforming at its finest
Â
Teh Bad
The overall game isn't that difficult
I didn't feel a connection to the Prince or Elika's
Overall length of the game didn't seem very long
 Conclusion
Prince of Persia offers great fighting and Platforming - but is it enough to warrant a purchase?...I'm on the fence, however I see no harm in a rental....
