There's a lot to like about this initial re-imaging of PoP -- it looks nice for its age, and folks expecting a crafty, mid-difficulty modern platformer with some nice gimmicks will not be disappointed. Some of the climatic fights are a bit obnoxious, and some of the jumping puzzles require metronomic timing, but that's just par for the course with this game's genre. Unfortunately, it's wasted on the PC, and for one overwhelming reason: the controls stink on ice. Playing PoP with the keyboard and mouse is like trying to play tennis with a sledgehammer; theoretically possible, but otherwise useless. Unfortunately, plugging your handy controller (I used an XBox 360 wired controller) isn't much better. The game's responsiveness to the controller is all over the place and will lead to many a frustrating death as you merrily guide the titular Prince over deadly hazards fighting the controls. Pick it up cheap for that PS2 you have gathering dust in the closet, leave the PC version alone.
