    A way better than it's PC bro... At least the story can be connected to the POP-trilogy easier for sure.
    And gameplay is very interesting... And to sum up - one of the best graphics on PSP.

    I didn't like the way the story started, it seemed too fast and... well, the story isn't the strong point of this game, but the gameplay is very cool! the system of stopping and speeding up time makes the puzzles of this game unique, kinda funny I'd say. The sword upgrades are cool and really make a difference in battle, but I decided to avoid upgrading the Prince's HP to keep the game onI didn't like the way the story started, it seemed too fast and... well, the story isn't the strong point of this game, but the gameplay is very cool! the system of stopping and speeding up time makes the puzzles of this game unique, kinda funny I'd say. The sword upgrades are cool and really make a difference in battle, but I decided to avoid upgrading the Prince's HP to keep the game on a challenging level beyond the puzzles, and it worked. I didn't have much problem with the prince's HP, but the game can be challenging if you don't have any experience with games. Expand

  1. Thanks to its numerous and brilliant puzzles, Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands in its PSP version stands as a great homage to the classic game by Jordan Mechner. Unfortunately some situations suffer from the sometimes unresponsive controls, that make Ubisoft's last effort more "hardcore" than it really is. Definitely a brief but intense experience.

    Utterly bland. [Issue#194, p.97]
  3. The well-designed levels in The Forgotten Sands do a good job of sucking you into this 2D world, but minor control issues and lame combat distract from the fun.
