Yet, while I completely understand why so many people struggle with this, I really do believe that the hardcore Prince of Persia fanbase didn’t mind them so much. For example, the camera work is sluggish, and the Prince’s movement can be a little frustrating - especially when you want to turn him sideways. Now, having said all that, I actually do agree with some of the criticisms of the game to some extent. There are Fire Arrows, Ice Arrows, Death Arrows (which are insta-kill), Possession Arrows and more. While the sword is the primary weapon here, the Prince eventually obtains dual blades, a staff, and a bow, which features a variety of arrow types. Unlike the first two games, Prince of Persia 3D offers a variety of weapons. This is in keeping with the previous Prince of Persia games, where the Prince uses a combination of stealth and combat to overcome obstacles. The Prince, you see, is a strategic warrior, not always eager to fight when there’s a better solution. You’ll have to think on your feet rather than mash buttons with little discretion. There’s an even deeper level of strategy to sword fighting now, as there are blocks and feints and counterattacks. It’s pretty realistic, giving the Prince a sense of weight and stamina. This was one thing that I really missed in later 3D Prince of Persia games (though Sands of Time does it pretty well too). If you ask me, this aspect of the game was one of a kind. The cinematic feel of the game created an additional layer of thrill and suspense. There’s a film-like style of story presentation in Prince of Persia 3D, which to me in 1999 was like nothing else I’d ever seen. The only difference is the third dimension it’s as if you are playing the same game but in 3D. There’s running, jumping, climbing onto ledges, and dodging devious traps - exactly like in the first two games. While Prince of Persia 3D‘s graphics might not have aged well, I always thought the character animation was great. The game offers great blend of its predecessors in terms of locations. The level design is magnificent, taking the Prince from the depths of dark dungeons to flying dirigibles, through palaces and floating ruins, and finally into the Sun Temple and Moon Temple where you’ll confront Rugnor.
The game contains 17 levels that depict rich and breathtaking environments across a fictionalized storybook version of Ancient Persia.
