Yes! I loved the art style of the last game. I hope ubi get the voice actor from the sands of time and add more to the battles.
Nolan North, voice of Drake in Uncharted as well as that side-scrolling game on the 360 (the name escapes me) , was the voice talent on PoP.
Let’s just hope the game isn’t as monotonous as the last. Yes, great art style but the game was a series of doing the same thing in different places. I got bored with it after about the first hour.
I found the first game very relaxing actually, just effortlessly jumping around the brilliantly designed environments. The game wasn’t particularily challenging but I wasn’t too fussed for the most part.
I’m looking forward to seeing what the next game looks like!
