Published August 11th 2011. Written by Daniel Cairns. It’s probably a bit of a daft idea to review this. After all it’s been out for over a year, so it’s going to make us all look like a bunch of lazy meandering bums, which isn’t fair because only Andi...

The summer blockbuster film season is here again, and with it the customary slew of disappointing game-of-the-movie tie-ins.In this instance, however, the usual convention is turned on its head. The movie in question, Prince of Persia, is adapted from...
Full of original ideas, and fans of the last game will find plenty to love. However, the combat can become tiresome at times, and it doesn’t make the same impact its predecessor did...

Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands is the sequel to the widely enjoyed Sands of Time. Set before the events of Warrior Within, The Forgotten Sands introduces interesting new game play mechanics that add something fresh to the platform puzzl...
New magical abilities that give new life into the climbing puzzler. The Prince’s humour returns.
A poor combat system. Limited story makes a short game feel much shorter. At times feels like a reheated Sands of Time.

Say what you like about the last Prince of Persia - at least it was a genuine attempt to take the series somewhere new. Sadly, for every one of us who loved the gorgeous cartoon graphics, the fast-paced, frustration-free platforming, the epic set-piec...
Great gameplay, magic elements are refreshing, looks spectacular...
Lacks personality, storyline doesn't really pull you along...
A decent game for fans of the old games or the new movie, but not a defining new chapter for the series...

Despite critical and commercial acceptance, Ubisoft’s 2008 Prince Of Persia felt like it was lacking something. Falling awkwardly between the revamped adventures of the previous generation and an open world made possible by the new, it embraced neither...
Admittedly it has little competition on the 360, but this is easily the finest platformer on the console (up there with Mirror’s Edge) and a touch of genius in its own right. 8.0/10Print this pageUser reviews (0)Share this pageNoticed something wrong?...

When we first found out about Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, it was impossible to not be skeptical. After closing out the Sands of Time trilogy and dropping wads of cash on a flashy new reboot for the franchise, publisher Ubisoft just suddenly...
Combat is hugely improved, Traps and puzzles are a blast to run through, Interesting, endearing cast of characters...
Too linear to allow much exploration, Boss fights are fun, but too simple, Ultimately too shallow to be a "real" Prince of Persia...

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is the latest Prince of Persia (POP) title produced by Ubisoft and actually fits in the time between POP: The Sands of Time and POP: The Warrior Within. Though released alongside Disney's film adaption: Prince of P...

In 2008 Ubisoft rebooted the long running franchise Prince of Persia, abandoning the Sands of Time universe the three previous games had been based off in the process. The game, simply called Prince of Persia, delivered a critically acclaimed title tha...
The fantastic platforming and sword fighting from The Sands of Time universe returns.
Not a fully polished product.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is an odd conundrum as a video game. Strictly speaking, Forgotten Sands is not a movie-tie in, though it was released in the same month as the feature film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Furthermore, Forgotte...

Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time stands as one my favorite games. At the time of its release, the game's re-imagined beauty and control was like nothing we had seen. Go back and play it today and it still holds up, a magical journey with...

If we could rewind time like the titular prince, we might go all the way back to The Sands of Time, 2002's Prince of Persia title that The Forgotten Sands apparently harks back to. Or maybe we'd go back to school and crack onto more girls or try harder...

by Anthony GallegosI've been a fan of the Prince of Persia franchise ever since 2003's The Sands of Time. The combination of acrobatics and combat-- along with the sweeping environments -- made the Prince of Persia franchise one of my favorites from th...
Forgotten Sands is much better than the 2008 Prince of Persia, but still not as great as Sands of Time – the game it so obviously seeks to recapture the spirit of. The story and visuals are unimpressive, but the combat and platforming are good enough t...

A stellar return to form for one of the biggest names in action/adventure gaming, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands serves as the best series installment since 2003's The Sands of Time.I've enjoyed all of the Prince of Persia titles that have been...
Friendlier tone; best climbing puzzles in the series; fun combat against plentiful opponents; easy on the eyes.
Some aggravating trap sequences; occasional minor control issues; most battles are remarkably easy.

People, apart from a small bunch including myself, generally didn't think much of 2008's Prince of Persia, so it's no surprise that Ubisoft went back to the formula that had proved successful in the past. The Forgotten Sands is very much in the same ve...

Ask any self-respecting Prince of Persia fanboy, which game has been the best in the series so far, and the answer will invariably come back as 2002's The Sands of Time. The original remake is held up as far and away the finest PoP game so far, so The...
Story-wise, you'll be hooked enough that you'll want to finish Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, but it's the always engaging gameplay that's king here. The narrative is a bit slight at a mere 8-10 hours, which is fine for a single-player game, bu...

The 2008 release of Prince of Persia took the franchise in an invigorating new direction, employing open-world design and a painterly artistic style to great effect. It breathed life into a series that had been treading water for years, but you won't s...
Platforming sections have lots of thrilling moments, New abilities spice up the standard jumping action, Clever puzzles require careful thought to complete, The prince's narration adds personality to the story.
Combat is shallow and way too easy, Camera restrictions makes certain sections difficult to navigate, Early portions are too familiar.
The prince's high-flying adventure is marred by camera issues and weak combat, but the excellent platforming is still loads of fun...
