Product Description

Marking the next-gen console debut of Ubisoft’s critically acclaimed series, Prince of Persia - The Forgotten Sands is the next chapter in the fan-favorite Sands of Time universe.  Visiting his brother’s kingdom following his adventure in Azad, the Prince finds the royal palace under siege from a mighty army bent on its destruction. His brother Malik decides to use the ancient power of the Sand in a desperate gamble to save the kingdom from total annihilation.  To save the kingdom, the Prince must embark on an epic adventure in which he will learn to bear the mantle of true leadership, and that great power often comes with a great cost.

What I like about this game, it's great for non-advanced players. For people who like the old-school style playing without too many buttons to push and easy too control, yet still a challenge.

This review is from: Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Video Game)

I know few people will care to read this review for an overlooked PSP game written long after its release, but I felt I had to correct a few things from the other reviews. For one, this is NOT the 3D Forgotten Sands game available on 360 and PS3. Aside from the freezing of water and other time manipulation effects, this game has very little to do with that one. Why you'd expect it to be or conclude that it MUST be a carbon copy of the other (really bad) Sands Trilogy ports on PSP is beyond me. If there's one thing Forgotten Sands on PSP does really, really well, it's remind you of the original (and still probably best) Prince of Persia... which was, yes, a 2D game! Now, it's not identical to that game and there are some problems--combat chief among them. The combat is unresponsive and feels slightly broken due to the inordinate amount of time it takes to kill some of the most basic enemies. The bosses are similarly lame. Thankfully, combat is the exception in this game, not the rule. The adrenaline-rush platforming is where it shines.

I'm not going to lie: the game is also very difficult in later portions and not incredibly long (about 5-6 hours without the repetition of dying and starting a large portion of a level over). However, there are tons of secrets, the precision-based platforming is incredibly fun for a latter-day Prince of Persia game, and the look and feel of the game will give you pangs of nostalgia for the original PoP. If you like the challenge of speed runs in games like Mirrors Edge, you'll feel right at home here.

The graphics are also quite good and sharply lit so I'm not sure why some of the other reviews bagged on them. In fact, the presentation in general is triple-A quality for a game that released on the PSN store and in retail with little to no fanfare. Overall, this is a very good game, and if you enjoy 2D platformers in the vein of the original PoP, you WILL enjoy this. Just don't expect 3D and don't expect the game to take it easy on you.

The critical review that perhaps best encapsulates my feelings about the game is Gamespot's 6.5 rating. I advise you to go read that, although I would probably score the game a notch or two above it (7.5-8). It's not perfect, but it's damn fun.

This review is from: Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Video Game)

This game is more about jumping and going through obstacles at the right time. This game is not really a fighting game. I'm almost half way of the game. IGN gave 6 out 10 as Passable. I like it.
Some say the graphics are not that good, but not all 3D games are good neither. I enjoy this game more than Assassin Creed: Bloodiness for the PSP.
Look at some trailers or gameplay on youtube before you decide to get this game.
