I am quiet honest, the game's idea isn't really that innovative. I mean, it's just God of War, but on a Persian (Warrior Within) setting for the PC. Just like Yahtzee bashed the GoW-ripoffs for the consoles off:

The game is directed at the Iranian youth clearly, to find a figure to associate with. I know it due my studies into Iranistic that old mythological figures became more or less national heroes every non-fanatic Iranian associate with since they are representations of the Persian soul the Islam never could destroy, for instance the hero Rustam. I'd suggest you to get the Kingsbook for 15 bucks at Amazon and read the 800 awesome pages of epicness, but at any rate, I think this is a call of a new age in Iran, no matter that it's just a game.
A call where the youth should be like their ancestors,rise up and take down the wicked and corrupted so to speak in order to free themself from their 2000 years old torment of tyranny.
Well, I'll maybe buy this game because I enjoy GoW-copies, but if people outisde Iran would buy it, this could clearly boost the national morality in the Persians.
