    The Prince of Persia Trilogy is one of many re-release we've seen the last years, and like a lot of them its interest only depends on whether or not you already played the originals.

    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.    … Expand

    These games are a fun look into where we were in gaming. I loved these games as a teenager and would always love playing them at my cousins (as I didn't own them and I was better at gaming then they were). Every time I put this in it brings me back to those fun times with my cousins

    If you haven't played Prince of persia: the sands of time when it came out, then you'v missed one of the best adventure/platformer games of all time.

It had everything: smooth and clever platforming/puzzles, beautiful graphics, incredible soundtrack and unforgettable story. The characters, Farah and the prince, are some of the best i'v seen in videogames and the relashionship that grows between them during the game is one of a kind.so,Is it good today as it was back then? not entirely, but some things about it are timeless because it's a classic game. The other two games are, arguably, not as good as the first because they don't have the same atmosphere and innovation(The combat has improved though). none the less, these 2 games hold their own because the gameplay is better then ever and the story isn't half bad either. The setting and background of the games are also unique and add much to the atmoshpere. I look at the first game as a work of art and the other two as ''good enough'' sequals but looking at this trilogy as a whole it's almost perfect because you really can't find a better hybrid of action, platforming, puzzles and story. I suppose I love this trilogy more then others because I remember how it stood out against other series of games back then, attleast for me, and had me excited whenever a new game was coming out. If you don't mind the outdated graphics and love adventure games this trilogy is your best bet. If you have allready played the first game to the very end then, well, I guess you can just call me..... ''Kakolukia'' (and those who know will understand) ;)… Expand

    I hate to give this game such a low score, but it is unplayable on my PS3 due to freezing issues. I don't know if this is because I have an old fat system, but it freezes every ten minutes or so. What I have played is a bit underwhelming as well. It's not especially HD and feels rather clunky. Why did Ubisoft put out such a lackluster products for such great games? What a shame!

    There is too much fuss about these 3 games. They were good in the Playstation 2 days but I don't think the trilogy has aged well. The best thing about this bundle is the enhanced graphics. Nothing else is new. Ubisoft should have remaked them instead of just releasing the old copies with HD treatment (which isn't worthy of writting home about, let me say). I like the series.

    I don't know where all the hype about these 3 games come from. I honestly don't know. They were ugly, clunky and frustrating back in the PS2 games and nothing of this has changed on this new PS3 port.

Also, you have to install these games (what?), which makes no sense at all... I like to have this trilogy and give it a spin once and a while. And that's it. If you didn´t like these games back then, you are NOT going to like them now. Pick up the Tomb Raider trilogy, instead. It is a much better choice.… Expand

    The game is well worth its price that's for sure, great milestone games. But you shouldn't buy this for the 3D effects, they are horrible! A six year old ps2 game just doesn't fit well in the 3D tech of the future.

    Three games in one is great. Classics HD titles are something that you know it's about the money but you still love to play them. For Prince of Persia Classics HD, the graphics are decent if you don't expect anything special. The games have gone a bit old but they're quite playable while extremely hard though!

    I hesitated at first to buy the HD trilogy. It's one of those game I thought would be better left in the past as a good memory. I didn't want to lose that nostalgia. I was wrong. It's very fun to replay through the HD levels and it stood the test of time fairly well. I was never a huge fan of the 2nd installment as it felt to me like a hype sensation type of game but at the same timeI hesitated at first to buy the HD trilogy.

    I can't express how much a loved Warrior Within and The Two Thrones, but The Sands of Time alsowas a good game not as much as the other two though.I played all of them on Ps2 and to get them on one disc for a low price is fantastic.

    Literally opened up an account just to give this review...
    I decided to go back and play this old game for the first time and The Forgotten Sands is one of the worst good games I have ever played. The amount of "creatures" you have to fight at the same time is so annoying. This is the most I have ever sweared and yelled and stressed myself over a game.

    Terrible port. Sounds are all messed up and there is a lot of sound ques is puzzles. Effects missing, color and tone washed out. Frame rate is now inconsistent. This is Silent Hill HD levels of bad. Play any other versions of these games. Really the sound levels are just inconceivable.

    A terrific trilogy of action-adventure games with excellent platforming and puzzles. "Sands of Time" is a classic and the sequels are very good. Trophies and a 3D viewing option have been added. The HD visuals are good. But sadly, audio glitches not featured in the original are present. Overall, I would rate this with an 8.1 out of 10.

    Sigue siendo lo puto máximo a día de hoy. En el 2 se les fue la olla con la ambientación y el musicote, y en el 3 volvió por sus fueros, y revisitó momentos de los anteriores.

    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.

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

    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.
