It was pretty interesting at the time, how different the Wii version was from what got released on everything else. I've since played the remaster of the non-Wii version, and while both versions share a lot of the same plot points, the level designs and bosses were completely different. And, of course, the Wii version used pointer controls. I enjoyed them both, but sadly the Wii version is not something that you'll really be able to find anymore.

Well, at least it wasn't Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, which shared exactly one commonality (Yuri Lowenthal's voice).

I really liked that about games on different platforms beck then and in earlier years.
While it didn't always come together, I love the various takes on a single game.

I've seen plenty of people say how the Wii and 360/PS3 game are more or less identical and I have no clue where they are coming from...
I wonder if they are just regurgitating something they read before and never played both versions.
It's one of the only things that makes sense...
