Graphics
Graphically, this is probably one of the best games out there for the PSP right now. Aside from simplified textures and some blurring on models, this is about as good as they get currently.
Sound
The sound effects are excellent and really add a boost to the game's appeal, when they sync properly. There are synching issues, especially during cinematics, and sometimes sound will randomly cut out. Still, this is very rare outside of cinematics and does not detract much from the game.
Controls
The control scheme is excellent. It plays exactly like the console version in most respects. The camera system is shaky and sometimes you'll find yourself manually setting up a camera angle for a maneuver, only to have it change halfway through, plummeting you to your death. It's frustrating at first, but if you play with it for awhile it becomes second nature, and you don't notice it.
Gameplay
Very strong gameplay adds a lot to this game. The fighting system is amazing. It sacrifices nothing from the console versions, and allows some ridiculous combos and maneuvers, in addition to using the enivronment against enemies. Puzzles are difficult but not unsolvable. Bosses are slightly unbalanced, but if you're good, you'll be fine. If you're not, you will be by the time you beat them.
Loading
Very long loads at the beginning, but after that you'll only need to load in little segments over the course of the levels. (Think Half Life2.)
Overall
This game is really a great game if you give it a chance. Once you work into it for a few hours, it really does pay off. Gameplay is excellent, there is a LOT of new content, and the game is extremely challenging.
A word of advice, do NOT miss the life upgrades. If you need to, use a walkthrough.

Nah, he's talking about the music that plays when the Dahaka's chasing you. It's metal and really doesn't fit.

...that wasn't a boss. That was a normal enemy. You see a bunch of those things. And also, that was about 10-15 minutes into the game. Why can't people give some games even an hour? You WILL get used to it.

Yeah, it's a great game.
Although, I'm stuck in this one part because the Prince keeps falling through the floor, and then I need to exit the game and load it over again, or else he keeps respawning at the bottom of a pit.
It's very wierd and annoying.
