GAH!
I installed and started playing Prince of Persia last night and was prepared to put up with being rescued regularly by Elika everytime I attempted a jump or wall-run, but after having spent about half an hour trying to push The Warrior over the edge of a stone platform last night [after having looked for help]
and another 20 minutes or so this afternoon, I have no interest in wasting any more time on it and am uninstalling. This was another God of War: one of those games I just don't have the dexterity to play.
