GC 2008: Prince of Persia learns new move, is basically Spider-Man

Using this new "roof run" move, he can scamper along, grabbing hanging objects in order to keep the momentum going. According to level designer Michael MacIntyre, "When you come in contact with the ceiling you jump, you do the run, and then you have to hit the glove button to grab any element on the roof in order to keep going. So there's a rhythm to it," adding, "With this new move, our level designers had all the tools they needed to create acrobatic sequences that can use pretty much every surface in the game." Every surface? We're pretty sure there's some nasty black goo you can't touch without, you know, dying. At least that's what the video walkthrough we posted yesterday seems to show.

Hrm, that's fine so long as the character isn't Prince of Persia 2 meets Spider-Man 3.

I don't mind the new design, but I can't help but wish they had left him the way he was.

This game looks amazing....but very little like Prince of Persia. A new acrobatic IP with this less realistic style would have been great.

King of Kalkutta?
I'm imagining a game that delightfully sets the world aflame by offering light-hearted platforming combined with gratuitous use of racial stereotypues.
