Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

From the Manufacturer:

Amidst the scorched sands of ancient Persia, there is a legend spun in an ancient tongue. It speaks of a time borne by blood and ruled by deceit. It is within this war torn land that a young Prince discovers a magic dagger. Drawn to its dark powers, he is led to unleash a deadly evil upon the reaches of his father's vast kingdom. Aided by the wiles of a seductive princess and the absolute powers of the Sands of Time, the Prince stages a harrowing quest to reclaim the Palace's cursed chambers, and restore peace to the very fabric of Time itself. He must tread these dangers carefully, however. Because in this world, there is only one rule: master the Sands, or be buried.
Embody a legendary hero with gravity-defying acrobatics, ferocious fighting combos, and the ability to bend time to fulfill his bidding. Wield the power of the Sands of Time - a force allowing the Prince to erase the past, behold the future, and freeze the present. Uncover the mysteries of a world never before explored in action-adventure gaming. Ancient Persia, mythical and deadly, holds a staggering array of landscapes and kingdoms to explore and conquer.


The commercials for this game are badass. I'm not sure if I want to get it or not, though. What do you guys think?


Oh yeah, Amazon.com gave the game 4 1/2 stars.

 

Yeah, this game looks really good. Im hoping that Santa will put it under the christmas tree this year along with GOTY. The commercials look really good.

 

GOTY?

 

Got a 9.6 from IGN apparently.

 

Is the game out already?

 

Yes, its not bad at all.

 

You've played it?

 

No I based my comment on how it is by guesswork.



its 2 cds for the pc

 

GOTY=Game Of The Year. Its Morrowind for the xbox with all three games, original and expansions.

 

I think Prince of Persia looks pretty cool

 

It could never be as good as Prince Of Persia II.

 

Prince of Persia II?

 

Good God Valyn, don't tell me you've never heard of the original Prince Of Persia games!

 

eh... i havent either
how old are they? and im guessing they were good?

 

prince of persia 3d suckeeeeeeeeeeeed

old school prince of persia = good.

 

I've never heard of these games before.

 

I think my friend got it over the long weekend, I am anxious to try it out, I just might have to get this one as well.

Forcebewitya!

 

gotta TELL YOU, this game is amazing, i have it and its found a good place in my collection. I'm only about 12% done. But this game has some challenging puzzles, i've already used a walkthrough once. This game is a must get, i love the acrobatics, and the rewinding of time is great for those missed jumps, this game is a must have!!

 

EB Games was sold out of the GC version, so I'll check back tomorrow.

 

The GC gets the original game, which is awsome.

Xbox gets Prince of Persia 2... which was charming and clever but not as good because in later levels it turned into a "pattern" action game when you had to fight demons and the like.

 

Interestingly enough, I've found the non-fighting elements of the game much more enjoyable than anything else. It's great figuring out how to use all those different moves to go through the different areas.

 

The GC gets the original game, which is awsome.

I just got it today from Target for the GC...and I didn't get anything but the game itself.

 

It doesn't come off the bat. You got to unlock it. There are two ways to do so.

The fast and easy way, is through the GBA link up. The harder way, is an in game unlock by meeting a certain criteria.

 

I don't have a GBA
