The new 3D visuals reminiscent of Sands of Time surprisingly fits well with the look and feel of the original POP. It's hardly mistakable, that's exactly how I would imagine this classic platformer looking given a next-gen coat of painting. What would be a nice little extra is if Ubisoft threw in the Apple II version of Prince of Persia, if only for historical purposes and as a reference to further compare both games. However, if this 3D remake remains as faithful as possible to the original, including in the difficulty, then the exclusion of the original can be forgiven.
