Some negative aspects,pointed out by the community include the visuals of the game and the trailer, which doesn't seem to live up to the expectations of a lot of community members. Even though, the game is visually more orientated on the side-on viewpoint of the older side-scrolling games.
Others claimed that the game trailers are lacking the Prince of Persia feeling from the old days. Especially the usage of rap music in the trailer enraged parts of the community. For example, the YouTube-User Fyrdman commented, saying "Looks more like Prince of Bel-Air than Persia", a comparison that was used a lot in the comment section.
And to be honest, it's nice music, which normally fits a trailer full of action. But it didn't really transport the feeling of the old Prince of Persia.
