Really loved this game, much more than the POP games that followed.
To compare it with the ones that followed:
* The platforming is less frustrating, hitting it just right.
* The dialog is much better - his banter with the female character is hilarious.
* The story is awesome
* The graphics are just as good.
* He isn't all "I'm so emo" in this one, I much prefered the art style.
* Even the camera angles were done pretty well!
* The fighting, again, is more fun than frustrating. Hitting the perfect spot between action and just having fun running around.
This game really captured the fun and awe I had, playing the original POP. You'd be doing yourself an injustice not to pick this up, if you're the slightest fan of platforming games. Even if you don't normally enjoy platforming/action, you'll enjoy this because you can use "the sands of time" to help you out!
Highly, highly recommended!
