Smooth graphics
Excellent gameplay
Great story
One for the fans
Camera angles can become quite annoying
At times, the game does seem quite linear
As soon as the title sequence loaded, I was drawn into it. The look of The Sands of Time is superb, much better than I had first anticipated. I was a big fan of the original release of Prince of Persia, way back when video games were still 2D (Yes, hard to believe, but it's true...). The aspects that made the original so addictive was its great story and the putting to good use of the prince's great agility.
Running across falling platforms, death defying leaps over great chasms, catching onto ledges at the last second... And with this release, you can do all that and more. The animation of the prince running up/along walls made me reminisce about the original, but as games go, this new version of Prince of Persia has really hit the spot.
Not only can you run along walls, you can do the normal death defying leaps, shimmying across narrow ledges and more acrobatics than a gymnast can shake a stick at. However, once you get past the first level and released the Sands of Time, the gameplay gets a little more interesting with the addition of the 'Rewind' button, which basically allows you to rewind the action if you didn't manage to make a particular jump, or died a horrible death at the hands of the enemy. I won't go into too much detail, as the game explains it all as part of one great big story.
If like me, you were a fan of the original, you should love this game. If you don't know of the original, you should still love this game as it offers great gameplay and story that will draw you into the world of Prince of Persia.
