I got my copy of this westerday and I havta say that it pretty much owns.
There's some similar acrobatics as in Prince of Persia but not too much. Combat is fast and furious and plentyful. Ryu gets multiple weapons and each weapon can be upgraded and they have their own combo's.
The story is pretty tight atm and the cutscenes/FMV are pretty rockin.
The levels are incredibly varied and each of em a treat to visit(the blimp levels was extra tasty crispy.
Baddies are good and somewhat diverse. Bosses are as incredible and diverse in this as they were in the original games.
Secrets galore and a ton of unlockable content as well.
Also, this game is hard. Damn hard. If you don't like a challenge don't look here.
All in all I'm in
.
Downsides - I'm not really diggin the camera but it's a minor gripe.

Finally started playing last night and made it through to the boss in the red Armor riding a horse in chapter 2. The bad guys riding on horseback before that are a pain in the ass. 
You also gotta love the Japanese voiceovers with English subtitles as well. You can adjust them to whatever you wish (English voice/Japanese Subtitles, Japanese/Japanese, etc) The graphics are beautiful, very indepth storyline so far.
Animalor was right, it's damn challenging. The camera angle shots are annoying at times, but it's not all that bad. You definately have to learn all the skills and especially dodging and blocking if you want to survive.
Lovin it though

OK - So I have the game now.
Really enjoying it as well. I actually died twice to the first level boss mob. I eventually killed him a different way then the tutorial says to. I checked after I beat him out of curiosity.
I am currently working on chapter 5.
I was curious to which chapter you guys are up to now.

I have no sense of decency. This way , all my other senses are enhanced!
