The new Prince of Persia game is a return to the core gameplay of Sands of the Time, which is most certainly a very good thing; although there's not much in the way of innovation to freshen the offering. In your quest to save the kingdom or whatev...

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, Copy protection scheme requires constant Internet access.
The prince's high-flying adventure is marred by camera issues and weak combat, but the excellent platforming is still loads of fun...

The Prince of Persia franchise is an interestingly unique representative of the videogame industry. While other game series are famed along with all their sequels and spin-offs, the fantasy world created by Jordan Mechner more than 10 years ago is one...
The Forgotten Sands is, as noted, an absolutely unnecessary addition to the franchise in the literal sense, as it contributes almost nothing to the story vault of the series. The migration to HD was also a choice the reason for which can be hard to com...

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a return to the old style platforming seen in Sands of Time. Using a tried and tested combination of combat, platforming, and the odd puzzle it does do a pretty good job bringing players back. Sword combat is en...

by Anthony Gallegos I'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...
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...

As the umpteenth outing for the looooong-running Prince of Persia franchise, it's hard not to describe the newest chapter, The Forgotten Sands, as anything but "predictable," which seems like something Simon Cowell might say were he a game critic inste...

February 24, 2010 - Ubisoft's 2008 Prince of Persia was both a great game and a fitting homage to the franchise. However, the visual redesign and the lack of challenge turned some fans off. Accustomed to the poetic looks and engaging storyline of the Sand...
