Camera angles and controls are painful. You can't save your game when you want to, only at the end of the episode. Fighting enemies became repetitious and boring after a while. And you have to kill them all to proceed.
Could have been a good game if it wasn't so irritating.
Not true to the Original

First, let me say I don't write many Amazon reviews. I was looking forward to this game as soon as I heard it was being released on the PC. The original is a classic because it took player control to a new level. Although this game "looks" great, the control is non existent. Any first person shooter has a much better control interface. The mouse control doesn't add anything to player control.
I am 25% through the game and it has only taken me about 40 minutes. The game hints tell you exactly what to do...there's only one way to get from one room to the next. The fighting scenes are boring. I just keep hitting "attack" and I haven't died once.
It feels like you are constantly playing in a training mode. The cut scenes are OK, but the music in general is repetative.
I don't know if I am going to continue playing it.
If you want to watch a quasi interesting movie, you might like this game. If you want cool player control in interesting puzzle situations, pass on this game.

Although the graphics are great, combat is somewhat difficult using the keyboard. The most frustrating part, however, is the inability to save your game after completing particularly difficult tasks or combats. You are forced to get to certain areas before quitting or lose everything and go back to the "beginning" of that level.

I wish more gayms had the gameplay this one has, I loved the way the charecter moves and bounces and does all those action movie slow motion attack things... it might be a little frustrating at times but its not imposibble, the last boss was a joke tough.
The spanish vesrion is also lousy, who hired those actors? might as well paid the the audio guy to read the script as it is and it would've been better.
All in all one of my favorite games, couldn't put the control down
amazing adventure game

Playing a demo of this game I was reminded of Alladin game a few years back. The best part is the graphic. They're so crisp and bold. The control take some time getting used to, but the game is great.

If you like Tomb Raider Style of games then Prince of Persia: Sands of time is one of the best games you'll ever play; it's also a game that will make you want to break the cd and throw it out of the window. Even though it uses the year old Unreal 2 engine, you're going to see visual fidelity that makes every new release look dated. This is, hands down, the best-looking game to date. An insane level of computer horsepower is needed to handle the beautifull environments and the superdetailed textures. The camera angles and the controls are bad but the gameplay is very sweet. It has everything that made the orginal Prince of Persia games look great. I loved the puzzles and challenging moves and jumps. I think the story was inspired by Daikatana, the ending is almost similar and it too is about a sword which can be used to travel through time.
