Despite being a fan of Sands of Time, I'm not having my hopes up for the new installment. To me, it seems that the series kept going downhill after each release, and to me, it feels like the new POP is just another attempt at trying o revivie the franchise. The new art-style looks nice, but I feel that it's bordering heavily on the fantasy side of things (over-exagerrated acrobatics and magic), which wasn't really what the Prince of Persia games (both old & new) were all about. Plus, the addition of that female character looks like nothing more than a gimimick to me. Also, in the gameplay footage that I saw, there appeared to be allot of red platforms, and I have a feeling that it's going to be overdone.
