    Game freezes on startup. Google found dozens of different possible game fixes for dozens of different problems - many of them related to the game launcher which doubles as copy-protection. None of them worked for me. Ubisoft support is pretty bad. First they really do everything to stop you from contacting them - seems they already anticipated to be flooded with error reports - second Game freezes on startup.

Ubisoft support is pretty bad. First they really do everything to stop you from contacting them - seems they already anticipated to be flooded with error reports - second they just don't show any competence at all (rather seems like non-native speakers are following on-screen instructions of their help-wizard...). But the worst thing is:: In order to be able to even write an error report, your account (containing your activated serialnumber of the game) does not suffice. You need to enter the Disk-Number and the Bar-Code Number of your DVD just to prove that they are wrong to openly considering you to be a pirate. Yeah, and don't forget: write your error report in note-pad and copy paste it in to the web-form. Login-time is so short, you'll be logged out again, before you've done writing. Of course everything you typed will be lost after you log in again.… Expand

    The game is what you expect from prince of persia. But there is no way to save the game. You only can Continue or New Game overwriting the continue. Meaning your screwed if anyone else in your household wants to play the game. I'm pissed off enough I am going to try to return it.

    No puedo dejar de hacer una opinion negativa sobre este juego, despues de jugar PoP: Las arenas del tiempo, uno de los juegos mas entretenidos que he jugado, esta nueva entrega me deja totalmente desepcionado cuando llego a una parte en la que no se puede avanzar y luego bscando en una solucion en internet me doy cuenta de que este juego no tiene un bug... tiene varios

    This game looks like it's not made by Ubisoft. Everything looks too primitive, poor combat system and parkour, same with "puzzles". And main problem for me is WHY the hell player movement is that goddamn slow? omg, I almost fell asleep while running in this game, its not supposed to be like that in an action slasher game. I dropped my walkthrough, this is too painful

    Bazı yerler gereksiz uğraştırıcı. Düzgün bir hikaye ya da 3 kişi dışında bir karakter yok. Aynı anda 4-5 tuşa basmak zorunda kalmak oyunun akmasını engelliyor. Kuşlar oyunun salakça gözükmesine sebep olmuş. Final dövüş de en kötüsü. Önceki PoP oyunlarında gördügümüz zekice puzzle bölümleri yok. Ikinci yarifa karsılaştığım sıkıntıları ilk yatısında görseydim bitirmeden bırakırdımBazı yerler gereksiz uğraştırıcı. Düzgün bir hikaye ya da 3 kişi dışında bir karakter yok.

    The game, which is the successor to Sands of Time, turned out to be the weakest in the series and did not meet expectations. It can be noted that there are interesting magical abilities such as freezing water and acrobatic tricks related to this. But there is nothing more to praise the game for. Everything else in the game is mediocre or frankly weak.

    Inoffensive, easy and relatively fun. [Sept 2010, p.60]

    Forgettable story, linear levels, some technical snafus, boss copy-pasting, combat issues... the list of bits that don't quite cut it is long and it is all over far too quickly, yet Forgotten Sands is a fine addition to the Prince of Persia storyline that plays well and manages to capture some of the platforming magic of Sands of Time.

    Button-mashing combat and new powers aren't particularly inspiring, but the large-scale level puzzles are rock solid. [Aug 2010, p.96]
