Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

THE BAD:
~BAD, U ASK ME WHAT IS BAD, well, i will tell you what this game is missing, as in everygame, there are always limitations. They seem to have forgotten the flying carpet. If there was a flying carpet, it will make it more, you know... Adventurous.. but its just SAND, Every thing is just SANDS OF TIME.

~Another problem is that the narrator after some levels in the beginning stops narrating the story. Why start something you can't finish ha? Anyways, despite its limitation, i still think it is a smash in the making and that it definately lives up to the hype.

SUMMARY:
~Well, i am so excited right now about this game because i just finished it and it was so cool. The story is so straight forward and so involving unlike other games that spend most of their time exploring boring tombs and killing fiends without a purpose.
~This game actually makes sense, from the start to finish. If i must say, it is a masterpiece, it contains all there is to make a good game. It introduced a new way of gaming that feels and behaves like a story. Just hearing the Narrator say "No, No, No, that wasn't supposed to happen, let me try again" makes you want to play the game even more, It basically puts you in the shoes of the prince. The menu is one of the best i have seen so far and the levels are so massive. Whoever says this game is short is lying because it happens to be one of the games with most levels in contrast to other platformers.

~ Prince of Persia has it all and it deserves its award on the E3 conference held at its release. I like this game and i recommened it to everyone for home use and not for rental. This story could be told to as numerous of people as possible and they will love it.

THE BAD:
- Fairly short
- Can sometimes become repetitive and frustrating... but only for brief times

SUMMARY:
Wow, I was totally blown away and impressed with this game - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is truly a great game. Not only do you have the ability to manipulate time, but you will get to perform tons of mind bending stunts as you explore a massive Arabic palace. The battle system is truly one of the best I've ever seen - the fight scenes are so well choreographed to the point where it feels like it is a movie. Filled to the brim with mind bending stunts and mind breaking puzzles, I highly recommend Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. This game has it all.

THE BAD:
Hardly anything... besides not having downloadable content on Xbox live.

SUMMARY:
I'm just going to get to the point: This game is awesome. It is easily one of the best platformers around... on any system. The story is awesome. The graphics are awesome. The ability to rewind time is awesome. I mean hell, this game takes what's good and puts it in one package. The combat system is put together very solid, and falls into place nicely. It can get difficult at times, but a good, challenging game is hard to find nowadays. No multiplayer? Meh, I really can't see this game with it. Downloadable content would've been nice, though. If you're into action games, don't overlook this title. If you like platformers, get this title.

THE BAD:
The camera was somestimes a problem during combat but, mainly the game was too short. + POP1 sucked

SUMMARY:
From the beginning you're pulled into a story by the Prince leading you through his adventure. Detailed graphics backgrounds gives a sense of being there when you use 1st person view. The combat in the game is get to be a bit repetitive and being overwhelmed sometimes but flowing movement and use of the dagger ability to rewind time and slow it down helps you several times. The game is more like a maze or obstacle course in which you have it climb, jump, and dodge your way through, in which are several save points through out the whole. And finally, you have your unlockables POP1 and 2 which POP1 is unlocked when you complete the game within a certain amount of time.

THE BAD:
The only problem is that there are certain times where you need to adjust the camera. Fixing it to see where you need to jump next is no big deal, but sometimes it will hop behind an object when you're in the middle of battling five or six enemies at once, making it impossible to see where you are.

SUMMARY:
This game is pure fun from beginning to end and it's almost impossible to put down. The jumping puzzles are just challenging enough to be fun and not frustrating. And if you thought the fight scenes in the Matrix were cool, wait till you play this one. The Prince is one capable warrior and controlling him during the fights quickly becomes second nature. Enemy battles are long and challenging, but again, not frustrating. And when they're over you're left with a wonderful sense of satisfaction. I know the big selling point with this game is the ability to reverse time-- and it's an amazing new game mechanic! Without it, the game would be frustrating. But with it, it's so much fun! If you like 3rd person adventure games, then this is the one you've been waiting for. I can't wait to see how Ninja Gaiden stacks up to POP!
