Prince of Persia

Strengths: Great graphics and gameplay, immersive story, great 3D platformer, shifting time is well done and adds greatly to the gameplay

Weakness: A little shorter than some might like, waiting for the sequel

A great transition of a classic 2D game into the 3D realm, polished from top to bottom. The graphics are great, some of the best I've seen on the XBox in effects and lighting. The story hooks you in and keeps you interested from start to end. The time-shifting aspects make the game what it is, where you can change time forward, pause it, and slow it down. Very helpful when you make a life-ending...

Prince of Persia

Strengths: Excellent graphics and sound, deep story, fun gameplay elements, ability to control time and run along walls.

Weakness: Fighting somewhat simplistic, short legnth.

It's been a while since the public has gotten a good Prince of Persia game. But Ubisoft has resurrected a once proud game and created one of the best action games in recent memory. Just traversing this world is an adventure in of in itself. The platforming elements are (in a way) a homage to the original game but they've been brought up to date with today's modern video game technology. The...

Prince of Persia

Strengths: Nice graphics

Weakness: horrible battle system that destroys the playability of the game.

90% of gamers will only see the first 15% of this game- for there is a respawning never ending battle level that simply cannot be won (I'm not kidding). I am a relatively advanced gamer, and I have to say that this battle system is amongst the worst I have ever tried to play. It results in an unplayable game that will stop you 15% of the way through it. What a rip off! No kidding- no cheats,...

UbiSoft Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Strengths: Graphics, Gameplay, Storyline

Weakness: Length of Game, Combat mode was a little clunky

UbiSoft Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is one of the most entertaining games out for the xbox. The game does a good job of educating you on how to make certain moves and then leaves it up to you to solve problems and riddles. The Dagger of Time is a cool feature that lets you quikcly right your wrongs and proceed in the game. Downsides are the length of game and occassionaly camera angles...

This Prince Is The King

Strengths: Beautiful graphics. Great action-adventure game. Impeccable control. Good camera.

Weakness: Combat could be better

Try not to love this game. It's beautiful. It combines the best elements of adventure games and action games. It's everything that Prince of Persia ever was, in a 3D world worthy of the Matrix. You start off in the game, and it teaches you how to play as you begin the adventure. Control is easy and natural, and this is one game where you won't be cursing at the controller. Everything flows...

Prince of Persia

Strengths: Awesome graphics and gameplay

Weakness: Too short, weak combat

This game takes the original Prince of Persia formula and expands upon it ten fold. This is easily one of the best platforming games I've ever played, and you owe it to yourself to check it out. My only complaint is that it's too short - this is one time where I actually wanted a game to be longer, but I guess that's what sequels are for!

Prince of Persia

Strengths: Great graphics, ability to control time, storyline

Weakness: Relatively short game

This game combines the best of action gaming with the ability to control time (rewinding, fast forwarding, etc.)... the SANDS OF TIME, get it? The graphics are superb, the controls are easy to master, and the soundtrack is pleasant on the ears. This is one of my favorite games. Replay value is so-so, but the game is definitely worth picking up!

Prince of Persia

Strengths: Excellent gameplay, hours of excitement, and TIME CONTROL!!!

Weakness: Exceptionally long cut-scenes.

If you like sword-fighting, acrobatics, and cheating death, you will definitely love Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. This game was created by the same developers that gave us Splinter Cell and FarCry. There is enough action packed into this game to last you for hours. You will be put into situations where you will have to fight several enemies while simultaneously dodging spikes and avoiding...
