    With an interesting story and unique villains and ancient lore, you will be hopelessly captivated from start to finish each and every time you play this game.

    Long time fans might snicker at another version of the Prince, after having to adjust to the new 'Prince of Persia' in 2008. However, 'The Forgotten Sands' isn't that bad, it is actually really good, and even better yet, it's not a movie-tie in placeholder, it's a real game!
  3. GamesRadar+
    80
    Lighter, more focused and ultimately more linear than its predecessors, Forgotten Sands never quite feels like a "real" Prince of Persia game, but its popcorn plot and slickly designed, trap-filled environments make it wildly enjoyable anyway.

    All in all I don't hate The Forgotten Sands, I just feel like this game was put out to capitalize on the release of the movie. I know that Ubisoft said the game was in the making before they launched the 2008 PoP, but I don't buy it.
  5. GamesNation

    Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands marks Ubisoft’s intended return to an old gameplay formula, mixing platform elements with hack-n-slash fights and a wise sprinkle of puzzles. The idea is good and suggestive too, but some minor shortcomings and – most of all – a very limited longevity have jeopardized the final outcome.
  6. Telegraph
    70
    As a game in the here and now, The Forgotten Sands can feel dated, its hero outshone by glossy new kids on the block like Nathan Drake.
  7. Metro GameCentral
    50
    Backwards-looking and unnecessary tie-in/remake which leaves the Prince needing yet another reboot.

    AWESOME! Spectacular! I had so much fun playing this game! I liked it better then the 2008 game because it wasn't so easy and reallyAWESOME! Spectacular! I had so much fun playing this game! I liked it better then the 2008 game because it wasn't so easy and really challenged me. It really went back to the beauty of the first game but in a totally original way. I really enjoyed the voice acting especially the Prince. Razia was beautifully done as well. There were times I didn't think Id be able to make it (lol the water running) but I did and I was so glad it wasn't possible to cheat. The story is superb and beautifully written the ending was bitter sweet :(

    Thank you for making this game. Please continue with this series it is special.    … Expand

It was simply okay. It had decent combat and an okay story. I liked the elemental control but I wish they had fleshed it out more. Same with the fights themselves. It was just hack through the same enemies over and over. I wasnt dissapointed. I was just unimpressed. Im split between a 6 and a 7. Ill just be nice and let it have a 7.… Expand
