Poor Prince. I don't know what I expected, but after seeing Jake Gyllenhaal as the Prince in the Prince of Persia movie trailer on tonight's VGAs, I expected more for the game's counterpart. But the game's Prince? He looks rough! Beefy and odd. Wispy is my word. Nothing like what I expected.
"Heroically lanky" is what I think I wanted out of a Prince. This dude's got a perm or something. And eye makeup.
His strange looks shouldn't hurt the game, Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands, which is scheduled to come out in May of 2010. I'm expecting good things from this game, perm or not.

I want the new Prince and Elika....now
EXACTLY. I HATED THE LAST ONE BUT LOVED THE ART STYLE.
Can the Prince stay happy longer than one game ever?
Now I really wish the movie had never been made because then we would actually be able to continue the plot from the last one. I just can't sit through another emo prince after the last one was so much more lighthearted.
