    Any way you slice it, three games of this caliber all bundled together on one disc are definitely worth the price of entry.

    If you've never played the PS2 Prince of Persia trilogy before, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. If you have, play it again; reliving the experience in HD is a glorious reminder of just what great games these are.

    Even if you have played through them already, the enhanced visuals and nostalgia are reason enough to take the journey back through these classic platformers.

    Prince of Persia Trilogy is a delight to play and brings back good old memories. For those who have never played this great trilogy, this is the best opportunity to do so.

    Not all of the Prince of Persia games are created equal, and there will be times when the story will fall flat on its face, but ultimately all of these games are worth playing – especially at this price.

    Three of the best action games of the past generation in one, shiny package, with additional Trophies and 3D support... what else could you ask for?

    If you were hoping for a remastering that goes beyond a hi-def polygon upgrade and new 3D features, you're out of luck. If the minimal lick of paint isn't an issue though, you could do far worse with your money, whether you're new to the trilogy or simply clamouring to revisit Prince of Persia's heyday.

    In The Prince of Persia Trilogy, you have three of the finest games of the last generation in one cost effective package, but have brought along some unnecessary baggage too.

    This particular journey really shouldn't be missed though, and $40 is reasonable enough for those ready to embark on one of the best franchises to hit the last-gen consoles.

    A fine collection of the three PlayStation 2 episodes of the Prince of Persia franchise. This collection contains the complete games, HD graphics and of course Trophies.

    For fans of the original games is an invitation to relive what amazed them.

    The games themselves are pretty good, (especially Sands Of Time) but these games features only slight improvements i the graphics. As a result, the game still features pretty old and the controls and the camera could have been polished. But even if you won't feel like playing them all in one turn, it's a good deal for three good games.

    Three good Prince of Persia series title at the price of one. A nice remastering, but not a must have.

    The Prince of Persia Trilogy is a great package, primarily due to the source material. Ubisoft has done little to improve the included titles for the new generation but thankfully they were as good as they were in their original forms that their overall quality still shines through. Whether or not you are a fan of the series, you will enjoy three excellent games brought together in this discounted package.

    The three games are great : Sands of Time is a milestone of videogaming, and both Warrior Within and Two Thrones build on this awesome gameplay, mixing platform, puzzles and a little of fight, to deliver similar experiences. There's no talk about the quality of this games, and having the three in one purchase makes the Prince of Persia Trilogy an affordable title that will occupy you for 35 hours more or less.

    But if you already played this game, this "HD" edition offers very small additional value, the 3D is horrible, the HD effect non visible, the trophies made in a lazy way (finish the game in the higher difficulty, doesn't unlock the trophies for the lower difficulties), really nothing "new" here and therefore no interest for previous Prince of Persia fans.    … Full Review »
