For some this might be fine, but I think the fluid combat is what set the prince apart, to have him reduced to button mashing is an insult to whoever taught him to sword fight. Whereas he was graceful, and very agile in fights in the original, in this he fights much like Kratos which is to say he swings madly and kills all in his path. Granted he is not a badass yet, so he is not duel-welding like he does in Warrior Within, but he doesn’t even fight like he did in the Sands of Time. This wouldn’t bother me so much if they hadn’t dumbed down the Prince’s combat skills. Where wave after wave of sand warriors attack you, up to 50 at one time in some fights. The combat system has also been completely reworked, losing the more tactical one-on-one fights in favor of the more epic God of War type battles. Surprising to me since the situation is almost exactly the same. Aside from the above mention of Farah, and a few other things this game doesn’t really touch upon what has happened before it. Also those who are looking for a lot of references to his past exploit can look away. There are some twists involved but nothing earth shattering. It is not as interesting as the original PoP but it does give you some insight on what happened to the Prince in those missing seven years. The story in the game is quite good, it will keep you entertained. (Looking at you Farah) The Dijnn bestows upon the Prince the power to rewind time before sending him on his quest to stop the army. Which the prince later comments on how in these situations there are always women who are bossing him around. Since this takes place after the events of the Sands of Time, the Prince does not wield the dagger of time instead he is assisted by a Dijnn who of course is female. Just another day at the sand filled office for the Prince. Sands pour from the mouth of an evil skull and soon monsters roam the land trying to take over the earth. Upon releasing the great army we are soon shown that it is in fact a trap. Of course nothing is ever that easy for our hero. Once the Prince finally is able to catch up with his brother, he tells him of his plan to release Solomon’s Army to defeat the invaders. His brother’s kingdom is being overrun by his enemies. His father wants the Prince to learn to be a stronger ruler from his brother, upon entering the city the Prince witnesses an epic battle taking place.

Well this game should explain how he came about his badass-ness.įorgotten Sands starts off simple enough, our unnamed hero, the Prince is traveling to his brother’s kingdom at the behest of his father. If you played the original trilogy you know that the prince went from being mild mannered man who had to overcome impossible odds, to a badass brooding warrior. The latest game Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands tells the story of what happened to the Prince between Sands of Time and Warrior Within. With the success of the game, the team decided on a trilogy and gave us PoP: Warrior Within, and PoP: The Two Thrones which weaved a wonderfully intriguing story that tied itself up very nicely. I am talking about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It was in that year that they took a break from Tom Clancy games and brought out what most (this reviewer included) felt to be one of the best adventure games of the time. Back in 2003, the team that brought us Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell, Sam Fischer decided to change directions.
