Disappointing...

This Prince of Persia is a prequel-like of the series -- Bringing the sands of time back into the title, the gameplay and storyline resemble older Prince of Persia title - Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within...

The game is a step back from the other Prince of Persia release. You go to point A to point B(just like the Playstation 2 versions); there is no roaming selecting which area to go to first.

If you are new to the game -- This title is a lot like Assassins Creed. You run threw the world traversing. Climbing, running up walls. The game originally started out on the first Nintendo but not as difficult.

You play as the Prince of Persia... [Not the same story as the movie]
In this story the prince is off to his brother's Palace. Without a warm welcome he found the palace is under siege and what begins as a ordinary visit, becomes aiding the falling Palace.

Ubisoft, why did you re-mesh up a older title?! This game is completely step back from some older titles of the game. The gameplay outline is very rhetorical and the story wasn't as interesting as the last Prince of Persia.
If you added more polygons to PoP: Warrior Within, a couple new control elements, and a few HDmi shaders... You have the Forgotten Sands.

The graphics are not New Gen at all.

I've been playing this game and every turn of the corner is predictable... This is very unlike the Prince of Persia series.

The fighting is pretty boring, there is no tactic... just hit square as fast as you can.

The game isn't captivating and continuing isn't as enthralling. I am forcing myself to continue playing. Storyline is pretty stale, aswell.

Throphies are easy to collect and once you get timing right you run threw the game easily.

You will probably find the game isn't nothing like the previous one, but if you played the versions on the GameCube or Playstation2. You will think it is an old game just re-made.

Let's get this straight from the beginning, while this game is fun, is it not really challenging. The game is linear, so you have not thoughts about where to go, it is simply a matter of how to get to the next room. Enemies are really not a challenge, especially as you level up your character. The only real challenge is navigating the rooms. Even that is not much of a an issue, since if you make a mistake, you can simply rewind time and try a different tactic.

Graphics are good, not great. they won't make you open your mouth in awe, but you won't mistake them for PS2, either.

The controls are spot on and the little touches like freezing water and then using it as a climbing aid is a nifty touch.

I would have liked to see an inventory/weapon system to upgrade. You can upgrade a limited number of skills, but it feels like something tacked on at the end, and you really do not need any other upgrades to make it through the game.

In all, I would say rent it, finish it, and move on.
