Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is a very good action adventure game. Much of the game centers around the movements of the character which are very original and unlike most other video games in this genre. Climbing, jumping, running, and swinging motions are all big parts of this game. The combat scenes are less frequent than many games in this genre. If fighting is "your thing" than you migh stay away from the original Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and try the sequal Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. The graphics are excellent and the music very good, adding to the quality of the game. If you are more of a RPG enthusiast, Sands of Time is likely not for you. Overall, a very good action/adventure game and worth the money to try since it has been out for a few years... which reminds me it has aged well. It was ahead of its time.Read full review
I hate Xbox, I'll be honest, but this game is well worth it. I have sat down with this game and become absorbed in it immediately. The controls are not too difficult to master in a short period of time, and for once the Xbox controller doesn't feel awkward to use. I don't really have much more to say as I'm not a reviewer. If you want to know more about the game, visit IGN or something :) It's a good game, well worth the purchase, and it has the added bonus of the first two *original* games as unlockable features.
I played a friend's copy a couple of years ago, first on the Game cube, and later on the X-box. This game is a classic. I don't know of any others like it. It has beautiful graphics, unique, puzzle-solving gameplay, swashbuckling adventure, and an intriguing storyline. On top of that, the middle-eastern music draws you in to the mythical magic of ancient Persia. While it's sequels may have better puzzles and gameplay, they also get gorier and more sensual. (That might be a plus for some). Of the Prince of Persia trilogy, this is definitely my favorite!
No previous experience with the Prince of Persia series is required to enjoy Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. In fact, virtually nothing will bar you from being impressed by this extremely well-put-together action adventure game from the studio that brought you Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six 3. In stark contrast to Ubisoft Montreal's previous offerings, Prince of Persia is surprisingly easy, despite the incredible acts of skill and daring that the game's main character will routinely perform during the course of the game. As a result, this original, visually stunning game can be highly recommended to just about anyone.
Some consider this to be old school, playing a game like this. I don't think so. One of the great Xbox games out there. Really fun good strategy game.
