Summary: An otherwise great addition to the PSP library and Sands of Time series, Revelations is kept down by the sound bugs.

Prince of Persia: Revelations for PSP is a sort of "Special Edition" of last year's Warrior Within. It offers a ton of new content, and the same action/platforming that I've come to expect from games in the series.

Most games on PSP that are ports or remakes of other games tend to be graphically inferior by a huge extent, and have plenty of problems which ruin the overall experience.

This isn't the case with Revelations. As of this time, I have noticed that the game looks and feels just like it's console counterpart. There are slightly less textures on the characters, but it still looks pretty great, with no slow downs noticed as of this time.

Fighting is as cool as ever, since Ubisoft removed absolutely nothing that was in the home versions, something that has rarely happened in PSP games so far. Prince can still do all the crazy flips, spins, and beheadings that have become known in the series.

Platforming has had nothing removed either, with all sand powers intact, all puzzles actually extended, and the same style of Warrior Within, where traveling time can unlock different puzzles, that weren't available in the previous time zone.

Controls are quite possibly the greatest use that I have seen in a PSP game so far, as it virtually copies the entire PS2's controller, no holds down.

Only problem with the game so far is that at times the music (not the sound effects or voices) suddenly stops. This can be ignored at some times, but it would be better if this bug didn't happen, or at least not as often.

AMAZING GRAPHIC but i dont see how the controls are going to wrok becuase that joystick does get annoying after a while and the d-pad is pretty much usless with game such as this

Controls are perfect, the only flaw is the occasional awkward camera angle. And that's controllable.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

I agree 100%, the controls are pretty easy, except for the camera angles, but really only when you are in an area that is really tall, but not wide.
