This game is a classic for a reason, truly deserving of its success and legacy. Although it can feel very alien coming from a more twitchy platformer like Mario, the slow and deliberate style of Prince of Persia works very well once you're calibrated to it. The controls are consistent and reliable, which is crucial. The rotoscoped animation is timelessly beautiful, the puzzles and exploration are satisfying without being unreasonably difficult. Great stuff.
