This game looks weird... Also, why does his voice change from American to Fake British?

Me too, oddly enough.  Nothing's really come out for it in a few months now.

The graphics seem... I dunno, off. It's like the art direction isn't compensating very well. I hope this is just an early version of the game. Not that I buy games for graphics, but the original Sands of Time was GORGEOUS.

So how come this game doesn't look as good as the Gamecube Prince of Persia games?   
 
I mean the gameplay seems interesting but come on, devs.  The Wii is not a PSP.  The fact that the console isn't HD does not mean you can just give up on making your games look good.

I'd have consider getting this if it didn't look so damn sluggish.  Sorry Wii.

Art direction looks a bit off in this game. Well at least they built it from the ground up for the wii so perhaps it will turn fine.

I don't know what everyone is talking about. Graphically this game looks just as good as the GameCube games, if not a little better. I think you've all became accustomed to HD graphics and think this looks worse than it actually does.

Wow, this looks pretty cool, and I lol'd that the prince's face looks better in this version than the PS3/360 versions. 
 
If they're different enough I might even get both.

I like how the subtitle of every game has something to do with 'sands'. What else can you name something after in Persia?

I keep forgetting that the Wii is supposedly more powerful than Gamecube or Xbox1. Why does it seem like only Nintendo and a handful of other games actually make games look better than previous Gen? Galaxy / MHTri should be the norm, not the exception!

Honestly, the Wii and the last gen of video games (PS2/GC/Xbox1) are all good-looking video games.  They may not be all HD-ified to "SUCK YOU IN TO THE WORLD IT'S LIKE YOU'RE LIVING THERE, LOOK AT THIS GRASS TEXTURE" but as pure games, they can work magnificently.  Sometimes abstraction is nice; I don't need to see every pore of this guy's body.
 
who am I kidding, we should all bitch until Namco puts out Pac-Man World 4, where every time a ghost is eaten you see the gnashing of teeth and the mixture of blood and saliva in all its high-definition glory.  I mean, I want to play some Pac-Man, but I ain't no gay!!!!!!!  >:D

The combat looks a bit better then 360/PS3 version, but the game looks pretty mediocre up close... 
Kind of interested, doesn't look half ass.

Looks great for Prince of Persia fans.
 
However, I am actually more excited for the movie of the game. Which is very ironic.

Kinda sucks they don't follow the 2008 PoP storyline and art style. And it's all just because of the movie which will probably suck as well, just like most of the game adaptations. On the other hand, the game itself might be fun as usual with Prince of Persia titles.

Wait, is this a totally different game from the 360 and PS3 versions? Cause that actually looks cooler than anything they've showed of the other versions.

That's what I never understand about these shit-looking Wii games that continue to come out.  The gamecube had some truly beautiful games, and many of them hold up well even today.  The Wii is supposedly more powerful...why shouldn't every Wii game look at least as good as the best GCN game?  The mind boggles.
