    This game wasnt horrible...it just wasnt a good game. 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story and visuals are unimpressive, but the combat and platforming are good enough that anyone who's been longing for another PoP game since 2005's Two Thrones is in for a treat.… Expand

    It's a decent game, but is ridiculously easy and short. Also, I had a problem at the final part where my game bugged making my character fall forever. I had to restart the entire game.

    Ive grown up with the Prince Of Persia games and have played all of themn While this one starts out fun enough as you get further into the game it starts to feel more and more dragged out, and the finale is cheesy and unsatisfying. Other than that it's a half decent game.

    The graphics are good overall,with some really nice looking environments,and decent character models.The framerate,thankfully,stays solid for the most part,though not without it's occasional hitch.

    Sound design is poor,and the soundtrack is mediocre.

    Overall,Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands is a relatively enjoyable game that hardcore fans of the series will love,and first-time players will find it tolerable.    … Expand

    Anyone could tell me if this game shares the same storyline with Sand of Time trilogy?

    Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands has a lot of great puzzle-elements, but when it comes down to the combat, the game fails.

    Forgotten Sands may not be one of the most stunning games released this year, but just like the previous Prince of Persia games, Forgotten Sands knocks it out of the park with some of the most satisfying platforming you’ll see this year.

    Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a fun platform and action game, but nothing more than that. It's a decent HD-reincarnation of The Sands of Time.
