Bring back old POP – Prince of Persia Classic HD Review

I found this weak. New graphics are pretty but don't really add anything to the experience, in fact the characters are just the characters from sands of time, which seems lazy. They went to all the trouble of updating a game that didn't really need an update, but couldn't be troubled to design new characters for it. Game is almost exactly the same as the prince of Persia classic app that this replaced, just with newer graphics. Also, the movement pad is HORRIBLY designed and awkward to use; old direction arrows were much easier to use. I mostly wanted this because I used to play old POP back in 1992 and wanted it on my iPad for the sake of nostalgia, I am very sad to see that this is the only version of this game still available. This is a completely unnecessary attempt to update a game that was fine to begin with. Ubisoft should not have messed with perfection. If they people like this game then fine, but they should still make the classic POP app available. Again, too, the s---tiness of the directional movement pad really interfered with my enjoyment of this game; whatever else they do they need to rethink some design aspects.
