I am so glad I decided to play this game. I didn't hate the last Prince of Persia installment, I actually enjoyed it, but it didn't nearly live up to the original Sands of Time trilogy. I'm glad to say that Ubisoft returned to the Sands of Time story (I believe this game takes place between the first and second game), and the game is a blast. The graphics are nice, especially during cutscenes. The music is perfect, and the voice acting is top notch. The story isn't extravagant, but it isn't bad by any means. The combat is incredible, especially when you start gaining your different powers. It is fluid and really makes you feel awesome when you are taking down many enemies. The platforming starts pretty easy, but the further you go the platforming and puzzles becoming quite challenging. My only two real complaints with the game are it is short, roughly 6-8 hours. Plus, after you beat the game you unlock a challenge mode, but I finished it in 5 minutes and it doesn't change after the first time. It is the same waves over and over. Although the formula is similar to the Sands of time trilogy and it is quite short, that doesn't mean you should not try out this Prince of Persia. I guarantee you it is just as much fun as the Sands of Time.… Expand

Amazing game overall, it is what I call the proper sequel to the Sands of Time with the Prince in a new adventure. The gameplay remains similar to the Sands of Time with some new abilities and powers that make the experience fun too. The challenge modes are fun and the uPlay integration is great to purchase some stuff for the game. The story is the only downside, it exists through the whole game but it's quite forgettable. Overall this is a must-buy for any Prince of Persia fan and a great entry to the franchise.… Expand

I finished it on X360, very nice game, MUCH better then the previous PoP.

The Forgotten Sands is a game that has a lot of great ideas put in to motion. Most of these ideas have to do with the platforming aspect of the game, but there are some cool power ups and upgrades for the combat. Some of these ideas are freezing water so you can climb it, wearing stone armor so that no attacks hurt you, and rewinding time to save yourself from falling to your doom (or to save yourself from an enemies attack in combat.) The platforming is normally amazing, and very smooth. The combat is the best in the series's history. instead of fight 3 or 4 people (like in sands of time) you fight 30 or 40. The combat is faster paced and much more fun. Unfortunately the combat is never a real challenge. This game has excellent graphics except for the character models which have odd looking faces. The sound in the game is great. The main problem with the game is the lack of a story.… Expand

Can't get past the beginning because I keep falling asleep. I don't even care if it gets better later at this point. Nothing could be worth this slow grind.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands marks the return of the prince we all know and love. While the game isn’t as polished or flashy as Assassins Creed 2, it brings the series back to its roots. Yea, the story is lacking but for anyone either returning to the Sands of Time universe or jumping in for the first time, the gameplay more than makes up for it.

Wow! What a surprisingly fun game! Especially since you can find this game for about $10. This is what games were designed to be...fun! I really enjoyed how much it reminded me of POP Sands of Time, but the developers also took the time to make it more modernized by including leveling up abilities and adding new magic elements. A fun stress free game (with lots of easy achievements if your in to that sort of thing)… Expand
