Prince of Persia Limited Edition Review
This is a great game, but paying the extra + dollars for the limited edition is not worth it. I only got the limited edition when it was sold on Amazon on sale for .99.
The limited edition is essentially the regular version plus an extra Blu-Ray disc. This bonus disc has a "soundtrack", making of videos, art gallery, and a snippet of a help guide.
The "soundtrack" was disappointing since you can't play it from a CD player or transfer to an MP3 player. What's worse is that they are more like 2 minute background music loops. Nothing special there.
Some of the bonus videos could have been found on the UbiSoft website.
Art galleries are nice but a paper book would have been better.
The hint guide is more of an ad/preview for the printed version. And since this game is so short... do you really need it? It's also hard to read the hint guide text on the screen unless you have a really big TV screen. I'm guessing that the pages of the printed guide were just saved as JPEG's and not specially formatted for the screen.
I'd give the game itself 4 stars.
