As 4D Prince of Persia reminded me an awful lot of Prince of Persia 1, I at first thought that this was the same game. And some of the levels looked very similar to the levels in Prince of Persia 1.

But it's not the same game. It uses the exact same pictures and gameplay as Prince of Persia 1 and I think you could see this one as some kind of level expansion. I'm not even sure if you could call it a sequel, because it's so similar.

"So what's Prince of Persia about?", You will ask. Well, it seems to me that you ought to know that, but as you appear not to, I will tell you! In Prince of Persia you're a prince who has lost his girlfriend. Well, actually, she's been kidnapped and hidden in a big "fortress". Your mission is to save her. There are persian guards to block your way and you will have to fight them with your sword. You've got exactly 60 minutes to save her and no options to save your game. Every level actually is a level up inside the fortress.

All by all, the original caught me playing for quite a few hours, with good graphics, a very nice sound setup and good gameplay and I recommend it to you.
