DESCRIPTION
One of computer gaming's biggest titles makes its return with the release of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The classic story, which had players guiding a young prince through a trap-filled palace to save his beloved from marrying an evil vizier, has been updated with 3D graphics and new traps and puzzles. The story begins with the titular prince tricked by a vizier into using a mystical dagger to release the Sands of Time from an hourglass. With the help of an ally, players must right this wrong by recapturing the Sands of Time before the deceitful vizier can harness its power.
As players explore each room, from an ornate reception hall to an underground foundry, they will be able to perform a number of acrobatic moves to protect them from harm. As in previous games, cinematic cut-scenes help tell the story as the prince overcomes a number of deadly traps and enemies lurking inside the Persian palace. Developer Ubi Soft Montreal, best known for its work on Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, has worked closely with the original game's creator Jordan Mechner for this new tale in the Prince of Persia series. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“While this game was huge back when it came out, I've found that it has lost a lot of the attention it deserves nowadays. This game is one of the best on the PS2 and still amazes me with its surreal atmosphere, magically dreamy landscapes, and charismatic (and often humorous) narrated storytelling. Its platforming elements are also masterfully done and thoroughly engaging throughout the game's solid length. The combat is undeniably one of the more limited aspects of the gameplay, though it is presented with visual grace and excellent pacing, and manages to be continually thrilling as the enemies become more powerful. The use of the Sands themselves is a pretty interesting function in itself, proving to be very helpful with all the hazardous platforming. All of these elements manage to come together almost flawlessly and because of this I'm comfortable calling the game a masterpiece. It's definitely the type of game you have to play yourself to understand its magic, so track it down if you've never experienced it. (owned and completed, accurate rating is 9.25)”

“An excellent example of the integration of gameplay and story. Beyond the platforming (which is exquisite) I loved the interplay between the Prince and Farah. The back and forth between the two adds a warmth and humanity that isn't captured often.”
