Advantages: Control Over Time, Acrobatic Fights, Interesting Storyline, Good Graphics
Disadvantages: Short Game Length, Only One Boss Fight, Easy

...History Prince of Persia is a series spanning over many years. With the first game created by Jordan Mechner. It was a 2D platform game that consisted of jumping up, hanging down and jumping over spikes, through deadly metal teeth and some fights with pretty naff looking swords. It had a sequel, which, by today's standards, doesn't look much better. Some people say the difference is, the Prince has prince-like clothes. Proceeding on... Prince of Persia 3D. As you might suspect, it's 3D and it's comprised of the Prince fighting more people with his persian sword and some annoying camera angles. Then came Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time. Created by Ubisoft with the Prince still in the main spotlight, Sands of Time introduced a new storyline and many many new features. Story The Prince is the young son of the Persian... Read review

Advantages: Great Graphics as usual the combat is the same
Disadvantages: the graphics are beginning to show their age

...So it comes to an end another amazing Playstation 2 trilogy, Prince of Persia. How this trilogy has come to ensure absolute amazement in each and every way. When the 1st Prince Of Persia (Sands Of Time) was released, gamers ate up the platforming-based puzzles, but had a hard time with the combat. In the second game, Warrior Within, the combat was beefed up, the Prince had way more moves and a darker outlook. But now, there was TOO much fighting, not enough platforming. Some said that the Prince's new outlook just wasn't as cool as it had been in the first game. And so, Ubisoft Montreal took all of this to heart, and they've come up with The Two Thrones, the shining jewel of the series. The combat and platforming have been refined to such an awesome level of perfection that the thrills just don't stop coming. This is without a doubt... Read review

Advantages: great graphics, brilliant style of gameplay.
Disadvantages: after a while the fight sequences get repetetive

...Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Well, i had not heard much about the release of this game in gaming magazines, but i saw even less of advertisement in the media (television adverts, papers etc.) So i was quite honestly shocked to see a revamp of the famous Prince of Persia game to suddenly appear on the shelves. As this was a child of UBISOFT i know it promised to be a great, clever child, instead of the previous, clumsy, dumb child known as "Prince of Persia 3D" *shudder*. 1. JUDGING A GAME BY ITS COVER. The case was one that stood out quite well, as it had bright gold sand swirling around the bottom of the case, with "PRINCE OF PERSIA" written just above it in regal blue, with a bright yellow glow around it. Above that was a picture of what was obviously the prince, running along a wall. I noticed that the certificate... Read review

Advantages: New ideas and Uber cut scenes
Disadvantages: Annoying puzzels

...Prince of Persia Warrior within After the prince defeated the sultan and stopped the sands of time from being released from the hour glass the prince though he was free from his burden, But after speaking to a crazy man in the desert, He discovers he is being chased by the Dhaka ''The Guardian of the time line'' and must change is destiny and stop the sands of time from being created by going to the Island of Time Difficulty This game is much harder than the first for many reasons, 1: you don't get the over powered dagger of time, 2:You have to pick up secondary weapons of which get destroyed over time 3: No Farrah to save your ass every 5 seconds Time of play: This game took me a fair few hours, I normally complete games relatively quickly and was fairly surprised when i found out i had spent all night playing the game...

Advantages: Sound and Graphics
Disadvantages: Storyline and Gameplay

...I remembered playing a Prince of Persia game a long time ago and was intrigued as to how they had changed with the update in graphics quality. In Prince of Persia Sands of Time you must find the Sands of Time and return them to the hourglass using the Dagger of Time. The trailer for the game looked good but upon playing it I found it very difficult to immerse myself in. The storyline isn't something I found interesting and the gameplay is poor. The controls left a lot to be desired and the levels seemed quite repetitive making it very easy to get lost. Combat is also quite easy. The controls make it rather difficult to deal with the climbing aspects of the game and pit jumps. The sound and graphics are fine but the gameplay and storyline just ruined it for me. Won't be playing another PoP title for a long time.... Read review

Advantages: Fighting if fun, Moving is intuitive, Special powers are easy to use.
Disadvantages: Graphics are not really that good, sound is repetitive, game gets boring quickly.

...Well, Prince of Persia: The sands of time. I can't really say it's amazing, but then again, it's not BAD as such. The games first levels involve you having to solve a series of puzzles, dodge moving spikes, and do acrobatic moves such as wall running, to get to a small chamber, in which you witness the sands of time hourglass being broken. This, for some reason results in everybody in the entire kingdom being turned into mindless sand creatures, devoid of water, dried out husks of people. But, this game wouldn't be called the sands of time if you couldn't actually *do* anything with time? You, early in the game, receive the "Dagger of time" A mystical, powerful weapon that lets you control time, and as you progress through the game, this dagger upgrades, allowing you to control more powers. The interesting thing is, with this dagger... Read review

Advantages: good gameplay, relevant soundtrack, amazing graphics
Disadvantages: minor bugs, same as Gamecube

...First of all, I was never that big a fan when I played the Prince of Persia 1 on DOS. But now, really, hands up for Jordan Mechner the creator, because it has grown on me ever so much in the past couple of weeks. It was almost hard to put it down when I first started playing it! Please do bear in mind, Rival Swords on Wii is EXACTLY the same as The Two Thrones on Gamecube and other consoles. So unless if you really want to get it just to feel the dual-hand combat with the controller and nunchuk, don't bother wasting £34.99 on it! You have been warned. For those that haven't played, not to mention that wii is already rather revolutionary to today's gaming, Prince of Persia's final instalment adds the cherry on top of all the wii goodness. As the story goes... -------------------------- The Prince is on his way home with Princess... Read review

Advantages: Every level provides a new adventure, great graphics.
Disadvantages: Adictive, You will get hooked

...When we purchased our Playstation it was not to get access to one of the biggest spectrums of games on the market but more to replace our broken down DVD player, we thought we may also enjoy the odd gaming evening. The game Prince of Persia – Sands of Time was actually one of the games that came free with the pack. History The original Prince of Persia was created by Jordan Merchner in 1989 and sold more than 2 million copies, it was followed by Prince of Persia 3D which was a complete flop. Eventually in 2001 UbiSoft (The owners of the Prince of Persia name) convinced Merchner to take another shot at developing a sequel – in September 2001, design work on the new game began. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was named The Best Action/Adventure Game of the Year at the E3 Game Critics Awards in 2002 when it was pre-view in its... Read review

Advantages: Hours of gameplay, excellent graphics and sound, unlockable original game
Disadvantages: Very few, although to start with you may find the visions give too much away...

...Many people remember playing the classic PC game 'The Prince of Persia' - the graphics seemed amazing at the time, and the adventure could keep you glued to your PC for hours, slashing your way through enemies, and avoiding traps such as spikes. In a way, not much has changed with the latest installment in the prince's adventures, but then again, there's so much that has changed and that has improved it's difficult to know where to start! The story behind this game revolves around a legend - in war-torn medieval persia a young prince discovers a magic dagger - drawn to the dagger's powers, he manages to unleash a deadly evil upon his father's kingdom. Now the prince has to reclaim the palace and restore peace to the land. It's not quite as easy as you'd think... the sands of time have a large part to play. The sands of time... Read review
