    normally, im pretty patient with games, (i've played a lot of the final fantasy games) but when i picked up prince of persia and played it for about 3 hours it got really frustrating when constantly falling and then getting saved by eleka. has anyone else experienced this frustration?

    After you get used to the controls the platforming will be so much easier.

    I got about 300 orbs before deciding "This is stupid" and sending it back to GameFly.

    I totally don't know where you're coming from.  The platforming, to me, was smooth as butter and the game just flowed beautifully.  I loved the Prince of Persia reboot.

    It takes the first few hours to get used to the traversal and the combat, but once you do the experience becomes very enjoyable.
