I would rate it a 9 out of 10 for its game play physics and innovation. For me I had never played a 3D game that felt like I was really using the envirement to its fullest. The story telling was great and the fighting mechanics were good enough (but obviously the weak point) I have fond memories of the exilariation I felt when I was able to use my acrobatics and get from point a to b that on first glance appeared to be impossible.

I think it is a major inspiration for a game like portal and mirrors edge. Very different mechanics but the same thinking process and exciting reward.

Anyone has the right to not like PoP, but to say its over-rated would be a hard (near impossible) debate to win. If you didn't like the game it was not at a game design fault, personal preference can sometimes trump great game design.
Quite well said.

While we're on Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, you can get the full game free here.
