Product Details of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Description

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time takes place in a mystical Middle Eastern setting, all bathed in soft, warm light and looking like something straight out of a storybook. You play as a young prince who possesses good athletic and acrobatic skill. Early on in the game, the prince steals the dagger of time, a treasure from a rival nation, as a token for his father the king. When his nation's traitorous vizier compels the prince to use the dagger to unlock another treasure, a huge hourglass, everything goes wrong. The sands from the hourglass blow forth, enveloping the kingdom and turning its guardsmen and citizens into, for lack of a better way to describe it, sand zombies.

Unique and fun game

Strengths: great adventure game

Weakness: too short

When I first saw the trailers for POPSOT I was like wow look at that! When I finally bought the game I found it even better than I thought it would be. I thought the love story was a bit soppy but the game is a lot of fun. As far as the moves go the fighting is typical do the same combos over and over again. I like the fact you upgrade to more powerful swords throughout the game. The acrobatic...

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Strengths: Awesome plot, game, graphics, controls, etc… one of the best!

Weakness: Got stuck in one area for a while.

This is possibly my 2nd favorite game behind Gran Turismo 3. The gameplay is awesome and the controls are explained thoroughly and easily through playing the game. I only had problems passing one level, but I believe this to be an oversight on my part. The game really does a great job of giving you hints through visions you see when you go to save your game. The game kept me interested up to the...

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

Strengths: A well crafted amalgam of graphics, actions and sounds

Weakness: None

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is an incredible action adventure game for the PS2. it is a well crafted amalgam of smooth, detailed graphics, multitude of actions and excellent sounds. It is sort of a masterpiece in its own rights. This game lets you do incredible things. You can run on walls, do amazing aerobatics, run up enemies and slash them in the back. The best part is the dagger of time,...

Fun action/adventure game

Strengths: Very straightforward with some puzzles thrown in, fun movement abilities, fun combats/fights

Weakness: Camera angles at times could be annoying

Although this title is a little older, this one still holds up as a great game with some interesting puzzles, fun fights, and nice moves. The graphics/environments are also nice to look at (although a little dated now) and are sure to intrigue. Definitely a great action/adventure game that I recommend you pick up.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

Strengths: Brings the classic Prince of Persia to 3D, No generic rage

Weakness: Combat could use some work and it gets real tedious towards the end

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is as every bit as classic as the original that made it's way to several different platforms years ago. It's one of the smoothest playing games out there and game design is brilliant as you'll be forced to use the Prince's new time shifting abilities and platforming skills to make your way through the game's large environments. Just one complaint about this game,...

Outstanding Adventure Game

Strengths: + the music and beautiful environments combine to create a great atmosphere.

Weakness: - there are a few tough spots - not much replay value - the character models lack detail

This game is definitely one of the best adventure games in this generation of gaming. Even though it may not appeal to action junkies, I consider it a must play game. The only thing is that it's short and there's no replay value so most people can probably rent it and beat it.

A visually breathtaking platformer

Strengths: 1 - Highly cinematic. The prince does amazingly dare-devilish crazy things. 2 - Nice, fluid controls. 3 - Good story, great plot twists (no, I won't tell you what they are)

Weakness: 1 - A bit on the short side 2 - No controller customization option 3 - Minor camera issues

This game is a 3-d sequel to the original Prince of Persia games. Unlike the originals, however, it plays fluidly and is amazing to watch in action. My girlfriend sometimes had to take breaks when she watched me play, because some of the stunts you have to pull in order to proceed gave her motion sickness. The visuals are that good. As far as gameplay, don't expect too much in the fighting...

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

When the original Prince of Persia hit the PC scene over a decade ago, it revolutionized the 2D action-platforming genre with deep gameplay and groundbreaking graphics. Now, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is looking for a repeat in the 3D arena, and for the most part succeeds. Developed by the same team responsible for Splinter Cell, Sands of Time features some excellent gameplay elements,...
