So I started playing the new PoP this weekend. I'm about 3-4 hours into it, and when I got here this morning, I decided to read what PA (and the Eurogamer review they linked to) said about it back when it came out, and I must say I wholeheartedly agree.

They took Sands of Time, changed everything that people liked about it to better appeal to teenage boys, and stuck it on the shelves.

It's buggy, it feels rushed, the Prince is an unlikeable jerk, the new mix of combat constantly popping up in the middle of the platforming sections is a real pain in the ass (don't even get me started on the dog creatures that fucking EXPLODE when you try to kill them), the soundtrack and voice acting are awful, and even the fact that all the women I've run into so far are all 95% naked with impossibly large tits pisses me off. AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH.

The game flat out makes me angry. Has anyone else here played it? Does it get any better? Should I even bother finishing it?

I didn't even bother finishing the first level. I got up to the ridiculously armoured first-boss-chick, got killed, put the game down, and took it back to the video store. Not for me.

I watched a friend play it when he rented it. Kept my attention for 5 minutes.
