    Nice graphics, but otherwise about everything qualifies as being merely ok.

Otherwise, in terms of content, too much repetition. The "puzzles" or so are hardly rewarding or challenging and the battles are nothing but repetition and make me say "oh, not another one of these battle scenes"... just zombies teleporting out of nowhere.

    this game has an story that is fun to follow with excellent written characters (basically 2 characters but better 2 great character then a million horrible ones, yeah elder scrolls I am calling you out) anyway the gameplay is very smooth mostly because you can rewind time when you die, which will happen a lot the combat is a little repetitive but it is okay. overall an amazing game

    A good looking and potentially fun game with two major flaws: 1. The camera angles are absolutely the worst I've ever seen in any game.

    PoP is the most involving, genuinely fun, fluidly controlled game I've ever played. The designers must have sat down with a few hundred tomes on Indian and near-East architecture to design the interiors and exteriors of the palace chambers. This title blurs the line b/n gaming and art. The story is also unusually compelling; manipulate time to correct a curse you unleashed yourself.

Rewinding is also a a feature which was years ahead of its time, and was to be adopted not by action-adventures or platformers, but racing games. Graphics for this game's genre at the time remain unmatched too. The level design deserves high praise too, with innovative challenges that don't take a genius to work out what you're meant to do. The gameplay elements are well-balanced so you won't get bored, and will want to keep playing to find out what happens next in the story. This is well-done because cutscenes aren't too long and the story is told gradually to keep your interest. This game to the genre in 6th generation is what Batman Arkham Asylum is to 7th gen.

    Since the remake is nowhere near release, and it's been almost two years since the first and only trailer, I'm going to look back at the original.

    I played Prince of Persia The Sands of Time for the first time at the age of seventeen. That was three years ago. Even though it was 2019 and many more advanced games were out by that time, Prince of Persia managed to completely enthrall me.

    I played Prince of Persia The Sands of Time for the first time at the age of seventeen. That was three years ago. Even though it was 2019 and many more advanced games were out by that time, Prince of Persia managed to completely enthrall me.

    What I find superior and unique about the game are mainly these three things: Combat, parkour and time-bending mechanics. And most importantly how they are integrated into each other.

    Combat is relatively simple and can be mastered easily. You attack with a sword and a dagger which you can slow down time with, paralyze enemies or even rewind time if you've done something unwanted and want to try again. The dagger requires sands of time which can be obtained by sucking it from a downed enemy. If you don't manage to do it in time, the enemy will get reanimated. Acrobatic elements like overhead jumps and wall jumps are great to use and watch thanks to dynamic camera angles. The combat has many animations (attacks from different positions to enemies) which are making it look smoother.

    Parkour is unique in this game. It is so entertaining and challenging. I don't know about any other game with climbing that amusing. It is often incorporated into puzzles and as well as the combat it requires time-bending.

    Other minor things are great. Such as hidden upgrades. Health regaining system and foreshadowing visions at save points are interesting too.

    Art style and level design, also story and characters are excellent in this game.

    The Sands of Time is a perfect game in every way and there is so much space for mistakes to be made in the remake. For a game from 2003 it is still very unique and there aren't many games like it. SW Jedi Fallen Order is probably the most similar but unlike Prince of Persia it focuses more on combat rather than traversal.    … Expand

It didn't annoy me too much, but after a while you get over how cool the Prince is as he continnously jumps obver enemies, it wasn't as refined as Warrior Within's freeform fighting system alloying you more freedom in using the environment and style of play (that was the only good thing about WW).

In fights sometime camera so stupidly placed you see big pillar and you and your opponents are hidden behind it. But that is not the worst problem of fights, that is definitely auto locking of targets. It is quiet terrible, you have to finish your opponent with your dagger when he is on the ground, but even when he is in front of you and is the closest thing to you the prince actually start attacking somebody else who is not not even next to you nor are you facing his directions instead of finishing that poor sod under your foots. This is pretty annoying as the opponent just stand up while you try retake control over prince. Also jumping and rolling is on same button and the action is taken based on context so it is quiet usual prince is doing something else that you would wish him to do. All the other things as graphic(taking the age of this game into consideration), soundtrack, originality of location and game play are pretty good and I really enjoyed cooperation with that girl who is following you, the puzzles are fun maybe little bit to easy and overall the quality of this game is really good, but the problems of control system is drawing it down and I cannot make myself giving it more than 6 points.

At times, the puzzles are so complex you'll spend 1 hour+ finding your way through. But when you do get them, it's extremely satisfying. However, as most console-to-pc games, they have bad controls and camera movement. Dodging from enemies is very hard. Talking about enemies, they're very hard and complicated. The enemies won't die easily, and furthermore when they die, you need to absorb the enemies' corpses into your dagger, otherwise they will rise again and you have to fight them, again. Things got even more complicated when there's 4-5 enemies at a time, and when one enemy is killed, another one will come and replace him.

    To start with, this game is wrongly labeled as a platformer. There's not much "platforming" to do here. Though our hero is the acrobatic kind, do not expect having to do accurate jump sequences or anything of the sort. Sections with falling floors serve a purely dramatic purpose - you don't actually fall and you don't really need to pay attention. This is more of a puzzle game where youTo start with, this game is wrongly labeled as a platformer. There's not much "platforming" to do here. Though our hero is the acrobatic kind, do not expect having to do accurate jump sequences or anything of the sort. Sections with falling floors serve a purely dramatic purpose - you don't actually fall and you don't really need to pay attention. This is more of a puzzle game where you have to find the accurate path through a series of obstacles and/or traps. This isn't so bad in itself, but if you're looking for a platformer, this is probably not the game you're looking for.

    This game has several issues, however.

    Context-based gameplay: Only a few buttons are used to control the prince and he pulls off amazing stunts and a lot of different moves. This is all context-based, meaning he will do a different thing depending on what's in front of him. Having said that, it's difficult in some places to make him do the exact thing that you want him to do. When your angle to the wall isn't correct, he will run along it, instead of running up. When in battle and you're parrying and suddenly the enemy is too far away, he stops parrying and might run up a wall if you're close to one because these actions are controlled with the same button. This comes along with fairly poor controls where the running direction in enclosed spaces is hard to control. Since the camera occasionally changes perspective automatically, the prince will suddenly run into a different direction, which is very annoying.

    Camera system: To be honest, I have never seen a game with such a poorly implemented camera system. Some people say it's an issue with the PC port. I do not care. It's bad. The camera bounces off off walls and make "swooosh"ing noises. Who came up with that? Sometimes the camera moves into the exactly opposite direction than I move the mouse. What the heck? The camera is jumpy, suddenly changing perspective (making the prince suddenly change direction -.-), but sometimes moves so slowly that I have to lift the mouse several times. Horrible. And then there are those places where the camera is fixed in one spot. Although the intent of the developers was to point the player to the next step of the puzzle and to simplity the controls the seem not to realize that all sense of 3D is lost when the camera doesn't move. There is first-person view to overcome this, but it's stil annoying.

    Combat: The combat looks interesting, but ultimately is mostly button-mashing. Just keep pressing buttons, the prince will do SOMETHING. There's no skill or tactic involved. And the battles are too long with respawning enemies. This kind of combat is a major turn-off.
    Auto-aim: No, I want to attack that OTHER guy! Oh, forget it. He just does what he wants.

    Pipe levels: Some levels must be called that, because you just keep going forward, avoiding traps and overcoming obstacles. Forks in the road appear only very occasionally. Some levels in later stages of the game, however, have a very interesting level design and it really takes a while to figure out how to get through.

    Gameplay segregation: I just made up that word. The game is very clearly divided in combat and puzzle sequences. Instead of occasionally running into an enemy while making your way through the palace, there are combat scenes, where you have to defend against several enemies at the same time. And then there are actually 20 of them! I would have preferred a more mixed solution where you run into enemies more frequently, but only have to fight a few. This game, however, feels like it's actually two different games...

    "Sands of time" also has several good points:
    The visuals are very appealing. I have to say that the game aged very well. It's still very nice to look at. The palace looks very realistic, the textures are nice, the monster design is good. Wonderful.
    Puzzles: The puzzle sequences are easy in the beginning, but become more challenging as you advance in the game. The puzzle elements (puzzles, pillars....) blend very well into the surroundings.
    The story is quite interesting (though I'm not through yet and don't know how it evolves). The interaction between Farah and the prince is nice - she will actually react to what he is doing, like holding her breath when he is about to fall. Very nice.

    To conclude... I think "Sands of time" would be a great game if there was no combat and if the controls and camera weren't as horrible as they are. But unfortunately, these blend directly into the gameplay in an action puzzle game, so I give it a fairly mixed score. It's not fun to play for me because of the controls and camera system :(    … Expand

    Before I start with the bad **** I wanna b real short about this games AMAZING PARTS.

    Back in the time revolutionary gameplay, pretty good storyline and pretty fun fight mechanics.
    Those may look little but this is actually prince of persia sands of time in short version for you.

    So why is this game getting such a ''bad'' score... Well as I said, this is about the pc version... This game is buggy... I know it's old but this is no excuse for it's low performance on pc. Bugs are everywhere, some gamebreaking, some not - but still disturbing to see and experience - especially when you remember the ps2 version to run smooth and nearly without problems... Best example: The one puzzle mission where you have to activate the defense systems in the palace... This puzzle is hella buggy! Somehow, when I go on those plattforms they kinda act like a forcefield that sucks me into the corner... No this is not a feature, this is an actual bug... Trying to escape or avoid that force field will then b the most challenging part about the puzzle and it really annoys you.

    Controls: This was also a big roblem with this pc release... This game just does not feel good at all with mouse and keyboard... so what can you do in order to avoid that? You plug in a controller... Unlike the other 2 prince of persia part, this one does not realise that you are using a controller which makes it hard to try and fix that. After i fixed this issue and I could finally start with the game - I got to know the problably worst issue with the pc release.

    The camera: holy mamasita, how can you f up the camera when it actually worked on ps2?? A lot of times, it starts doing spastic movements, wiggling around, making your eyes bleed - no but srsly, the camera sometimes locks on sth and then suddenly it goes crazy because sum object is in it's way of sight...

    Now to some bad parts of the game that were also in the ps2 release: Little cutscenes that come up way to many times (for example when you end a fight and the prince sticks away his swords). Insane difficulty spikes where fights suddnely become the dark souls type of fights (you can regain hp while fights, but depends where you fight and if there is an actual water place nearby). The fights are then mostly 4-5 dude against you, and when you finally finish one, another one spawns - which stretches the fights but feels kinda unnecessary... and they just get hella repetitive.

    In the end, I give the pc version 5/10... it's just so freaking bad - compared to the ps2 version, that you easily get your childhood memories crushed - I srsly hope that the other 2 types are more fun than this one.    … Expand

    Pros: The puzzles and traps can be very challenging (sometimes maddening); one has to be really careful and thoughtful throughout the game. The combat is even more challenging; I became good at fighting the sand creatures only after finishing the entire game. Graphics are decent in perspective of the year during which the game was released. Music is great. The amazing reverse featurePros: The puzzles and traps can be very challenging (sometimes maddening); one has to be really careful and thoughtful throughout the game. The combat is even more challenging; I became good at fighting the sand creatures only after finishing the entire game. Graphics are decent in perspective of the year during which the game was released. Music is great. The amazing reverse feature allows the Prince to go back in time, so if he dies or messes up, it is possible to undo his follies. Story-line is really awesome and keeps you hooked to the game, and so are the dialogues and taunts between the Prince and his companion, Farah. No wonder they made a Hollywood movie based on the game's story-line.

    Cons: One feature that I really hated was the camera view. It became really frustrating to manipulate the prince when the camera view changed; right became straight, left became backward, and so forth. This was especially bad during combat scenes. As a result, the Prince dies countless times. Also, it is not possible to save the game whenever you want, you must wait for the advent of time portals; however, these portals are sometimes separated too far apart. Thankfully if you die, the game will let you start a tad bit after the earlier portal, yet you frequently have to go through very difficult puzzles and traps repeatedly until you make it to the next portal. Next drawback is that the tutorial for the continuous jumping from one wall to the adjacent wall until the Prince reaches the top was not very helpful; I had to do a Google search to figure out how to do this. And finally, one gets the opportunity to go to "wonder chambers" to drink magical water and increase the Prince's overall health; however, it is easy to overlook the fact that his overall health has increased slightly after each visit. I realized what was going on toward the end of the game, when I did not have enough health to survive the Tower of Dawn combat scene. So I had to go back and start from the middle of the game to visit all those missed "wonder chambers."

    Conclusion: Despite its shortcomings, this game is very addictive and is a class of its own when it comes to puzzles, traps, story-line, and combat. Had the developers fixed the camera view issues during combat scenes, I would have given this game a 9.    … Expand

    На ней игра полетела. И мои впечатления продолжились.
    На тот момент игра на PC выглядела очень красиво. Но больше всего меня порадовала боевая система и паркур. На то время для меня это было в новинку. Да игры с паркуром были, но очень корявые. Здесь же всё, ну на тот момент мне казалось, что всё работало.
    Меня очень зацепил сюжет, эдакая восточная сказка. Жаль, что эта история в Warrior Within была спущена в унитаз.
    Но самое лучшее это атмосфера игры. Из неё просто не хотелось выходить, в отличии от того же сиквела в который напротив не хотелось возвращаться. Хотя в Warrior Within была своя фишка, но сейчас не об этом.
    Да при первом прохождении меня просто выбесил бой с "Песчаным королём", но при повторном прохождении я на нём даже не напрягся. И это вообще, я бы сказал, какая то особенность последних пяти частей Принца. Там где при первом прохождении разбивал мышь, при повторном трудностей даже не замечаешь.
    Подведу итог.
    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time не только стала одной из моих любимых игр, но и положила начало целой игровой вселенной. Так же она показала на долгие годы вперёд как надо делать игры с паркуром.
    К сожалению сейчас эта серия находится в упадке. Как мне кажется из за самокопирования. Ну нельзя продавать людям долгие годы по сути одну и ту же игру, только с разными сюжетами. Как мне кажется Ubisoft надо было развивать идеи Prince of Persia 2008, но после неё авторы опять скопировали сами себя в Forgotten Sands и на этом всё закончилось. А жаль.

    Zamanı geriye alma mekaniğiyle kendini diğer oyunlardan ayıran The Sands of Time, genel kombat ve platform mekanikleri ayrıca aksiyon dolu oyun yapısıyla oynamaya değer bir yapım.

    One of the best video games of its time, a game that has become a classic of its genre.

    La version de Steam esta totalmente bugeada: bugs de camara, bugs de sonido, bugs con el joystick.
    Quitando eso es un muy buen juego.

    Prince of Persia The Sands of Time
    Ubisoftun iyi olduğu zamanlarda yaptığı efsane bir oyun. Pers İmparatorluğu döneminde bir prensi yönettiğimiz oyun parkur ve savaş mekaniklerinden oluşuyor. Oyunda birçok bulmaca ve tırmanılması gereken yerler ile harika bölüm dizaynı sunuyor. Oyunun sunumu başyapıt derecesinde. Küçük detaylar oynarken insanı mutlu ediyor; en basitinden oyunda ölürseniz    Prince of Persia The Sands of Time
    Ubisoftun iyi olduğu zamanlarda yaptığı efsane bir oyun. Pers İmparatorluğu döneminde bir prensi yönettiğimiz oyun parkur ve savaş mekaniklerinden oluşuyor. Oyunda birçok bulmaca ve tırmanılması gereken yerler ile harika bölüm dizaynı sunuyor. Oyunun sunumu başyapıt derecesinde. Küçük detaylar oynarken insanı mutlu ediyor; en basitinden oyunda ölürseniz tekrar başlama ekranı gelince Prince diyor ki "No, no, no, that didn't happen, let me start again" gibi şeyler söylüyor. Ya da oyundan çıkarken "hikayem bitmeden çıkmak istediğine emin misin?" diyor. Hikayesi demişken büyülü ve harika bir hikayesi var. Uzun da değil kısa da değil. Zaten bölüm tasarımları sıkılmanızı imkansız hale getiriyor.
    Savaş sistemi tekdüzelikten uzak bir sürü combo ile çeşitlilik verilmiş derin bir sistem. Size kendinizin bir şeyler başardığını çok iyi hissettiriyor. Aynı şekilde tırmanma mekanikleri de tekdüzelikten uzak. Tırmanmak, atlamak, sallanmak ve benzeri akrobatik hareketleri yapabilmek için birçok farklı tuşa basmanız gerekebiliyor.
    Sonuç olarak günümüz standartları için bile harika olan bir oyun olduğunu söyleyebilirim.
    Herkese öneririm.
    Puanım:
    grafikler: 9/10 (eski olduğu için 1 puan kırdım)
    oynanış: 10/10
    hikaye: 10/10    … Expand

    An exciting and interesting game with fun gameplay, cool level design, and excellent platforming. The game is filled with the atmosphere of Eastern fairy tales, danger, secrets, mysticism, riddles, traps, and the coolest parkour of those times!

    The Sands of Time later than its 2003 release, I didn't perceive it as the trilogy's pinnacle, unlike the general consensus. Nonetheless, I appreciate the well-written and intriguing story. The gameplay also offered enjoyable moments.

    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    Ubi Soft Montreal has captured everything we loved about the first game without sacrificing the kinds of things we expect from games these days.

    Thrillinng acrobatic action, though the controls and camera could be better. [Mar 2004, p.88]

    The freedom of movement requires a new level of spatial imagination. Before Prince of Persia, platform games were like playing Tetris with only the blocks and bars. [Christmas 2003, p.100]
