This game is a blender, but what a.

I have rarely played a game where the player has less impact on the game.
Climbing does the hero completely automatically. You just have to hold three buttons and wiggle a bit with your mouse can move from one end of town to the other end of the roofs, without one more time to press a button. So whoever hopes for great climbing earnings a Prince of Persia, was not at all more. I am surprised that Ubisoft has just screwed up this climb layers so where Prince of Persia (also from her home) but one of the best Jump n 'runs at all and shows should be like climbing.
In short, the great climbs are only a blender to which the player has virtually no influence.

Among the battles:
Here it is similar. It is sufficient to use two buttons. Once the right mouse button to go into the defense mode, and then the left button to launch a counterattack if an opponent strikes. This move prevents you get damage and shares even himself mightily. From the first to the last opponent you can apply this move and it works almost always. Thus, the fights get too easy and you can also pick up loose with two dozen opponents.
briefly: The battle is a blender because it is in principle only from predefined animations that are caused by one or two click. Here Prince of Persia makes his countless Angfriffsmoves and the inclusion of Umweld in the fight a better impression.

The freibegebare city is a blender, because this freedom is not required to fulfill the missions. Almost always there is the assassination target in a confined space with a and you can stab equal or beat the swordfight at the first encounter. (Here, too, the above-mentioned move unbeatable)

The last Blender are bonus tasks, such as killing 60 Templars or collect 100 flags. A reward not receive for its fulfillment namely. The Prince of Persia has solved with videos and artwork better.

What I give three stars?
-One Of the graphics and animations that are really top. Only the water does not look so hot, but hey? ...
-One Of the great story. The Animuslösung I find awesome because things such as the beam can be explained by logic to other places, as well as relax the short trips in the present. The story revolves towards the end while starting, but is still well and stock response with many twists and not ceasing drumbeats at the end. The end itself is then very abruptly and indeed seems to leave many questions unanswered. But if you think about it, everything is actually answered and the rest you can piece together yourself. At least the majority. I do not think that the end is crying out for a sequel.
-the Last star I forgive for Ordinary Time (I so needed about 14 hours) and for the great Blenderei because fun is doing the game, even if you're not really playing himself.
