My parents sent me this game. My first reaction was "Dammit, another Zelda." I know that's a little blasphemous here, but Zelda bugs the crap out of me; and I can't beat Ocarina of Time.
So, I popped it in to see if it truly was a Zelda clone, and Holy Cow! It's not! I've had it since Friday and am already around 40% done.
What do you think about it?

I played that game back when it was a dinky computer game. I never got past the second level.

I've played this game for about a total of 1.5 hrs and my impression is that it is just OK.
It has some interesting elements like the reverse time and the whole running along walls, etc. but in the end it seemed to me to be just another jump puzzle game like a Tomb Raider game. The whole get to point B from point A via jumping, climbing, swinging, etc gets a little dull after awhile. Also, the fighting was dull...not enough control of the attacking. I wish they'd combine the fighting of something like Soul Caliber II, the sword/weapon variety of Way of the Samurai, and the custom character development of a Final Fantasy game. Now that would be fun.

A friend has it, and is about the same amount done. It's very fun to watch him play it. I used to watch my brother play the original =).
Sometimes the fighting gets a little crazy, what with the regenerating nasty monsters. The girl's pretty annoying (especially when he begins to say crap like, "I realize that I enjoy her company in this twisted Sultan's palace..").

I pretty much agree with Traveler.
My first thought was that it was really good, and it was a lot of fun. After a few hours, and about 50% completion, it started to get repetitive. Especially the fighting.
Another annoyance was the camera, which would often get stuck on an annoying angle, even after you try to adjust it.
