Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

"Ubisoft released Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands to coincide with the movie release as a interquel in the series. Although many people are use to these types of games not turning out to well, this game has familiar formula that works well for some, but not all. Does the series still live up to the name or does it need a new defining game?"

Three times wasn't a charm for UbiSoft as they deliver a game that's fun on its own, but just doesn't live up to the hype of the Sands of Time trilogy.

"It’s been a long 5 years since we have run on walls with the Prince but he makes a triumphant return in the 2010 release of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Forget the massive changes made with 2008’s Prince of Persia, the original ruffian Prince is back from The Sands of Time bringing along the amazing and challenging platforming with him. The ability to die is back bringing the series back to its tough as nails free-running. It's also the return of time-manipulation a piece once again..."

"Forgetting everything they had done with Prince of Persia (2008), Ubisoft has thrown away the colorful and artistic art direction of the series and opted for a more realistic approach that doesn’t necessarily aid in providing excitement or entertainment. Blander than toddlers’ food, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands doesn’t represent the popular puzzle-solving series well."

All Age Gaming's John Elliott takes a look at the Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Is this adventure worth exploring or should it be cast aside and forgotten? Read on to find out.

"Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands sounds like a risky purchase. It’s been released a little too conveniently close to the upcoming Prince of Persia (PoP) film, it’s had nowhere near the publicity that the previous Prince of Persia games had been given, and on top of that the logo for the game (besides the usual awesome ‘Prince of Persia’ text), is slapped with a standard ‘Arial Black’ serif font, which isn’t exactly eye catching nor does it indicate that it’s a polished game.

But Ubiso..."
