Moreover, it was sold and re-sold, first to Mattel, then to The Learning Company. Wikipedia posted: Due to financial difficulties, Red Orb was forced to release the game before it had gone through the bug detection and correction stage. That brings me to my deepest concern about this game and why it deserves nothing but to rot in hell forever. Unfortunately, not every single level gets such love and a great deal of them just seemed to be rushed out of the door as fast as possible and look ugly as hell. Some of the models are a bit freakish and seem to belong in Quake 2 rather than in Middle East, but where the designers chose, they created a really nice looking game due to its great use of textures.
For a 1999 game, this actually looks pretty good. The designers of Prince of Persia 3D obviously were more interested in trying to create a nice-looking game instead of trying to make it playable. I don't like that maniacal laughter you're having. Prince of Persia 3D belongs in that final category. Several franchises manage to bridge the gap from 2D to 3D flawlessly (Mario 64), some did an okay job but nothing more (Worms 3D) and sometimes the bridge is so convulsed and twisted that it crumbles and leaves no survivors.
Prince of persia 3d patch series#
This game marks the transition of the series to the 3D format, which has always been pretty tricky for every single of those franchises out there who wished to keep up with the times, as 3D engines and games became the rage. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves and let's focus to this particular third game now. It is the last game of the series prior to its rebirth back in 2003, as a game company called Ubisoft released a pretty fun game called Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It was developed by Red Orb Entertainment (a company which spawned from Broderbund Software, who published the first two games) and released by The Learning Company in September 1999. Prince of Persia 3D, as the title suggests, is the third official installment of the well-known Prince of Persia series.
