This game is amazing.

The graphics are the best part and I was hooked on this game till the end. Though I admit that this game was very repetitive in the battle sceans and that you were basicly fighting the same monsters over and over again, the graphics were great, the puzzles were easy but fun, and it wasn't too frustrating.

The only reason I rated this a 4-star was because of the repetitive battle sceans. Actually the monsters are different as you progress through.

The story is a pretty good story and I liked how it played out in the end.

If you were too rent or buy this game I'd definitly buy it because it was pretty good.

True to Mechner's Original, Outstanding Graphics

Nothing really new to add here, only that I play the original game for hours upon hours after finding a cracked copy (thanks Magilicutty) in the physics Bldg. of the University I was at. The first time through I didn't think much of the game because I was trying to play it like Tekken4 or some other button mashing game. I'd forgotten the 'dance' that I'd enjoyed in the original game.
This game has good replay value for those of us that like fight scenes to be more art than violence. With a little patience it isn't hard to dance through most fight scenes w/o a scratch, and there's always the 'replay' dagger of time in case you get beat down.
I think the nostalgia value raises the replay value for me. If you're doubtful then buy the game used somewhere you can return it. That'll give you 7 days or so to check it out and see if you like the artful fighting and awesome stunts. The way the little dude throws himself out into the abyss from ledge to ledge is inspiring.

Before I bought this game I'd played it at a friends and was hooked from the start. This first installment of "Prince of Persia" heavily focuses on art and this is not limited to its graphics. The movements and combat maneuvers of the playable character, the prince, is comprised of gymnastics which, by design, pays homage to skaters, in my opinion. Beyond the aesthetic, this game follows an excellent story formatted with tasks of moderate to hard difficulty. Although certain spots can be hard to beat, the game provides plenty of ways for the player to hone his/her skills before approaching an area were there is conflict. What also makes the game great is its potential to be a brain-teaser with it's unseen paths and towering rooms which lay in ruin on the surface yet intricately provide entrance to other parts to the in the palace.

Loved it!

Enter into the Calamity

An evil curse has spread upon Sultan's kingdom. The prince of Persia is on a quest to hunt for villainous Vizier who deceived him into unleashing the Sands of Time. Survival may seem dim armed with only a sword and dagger, they are powerful weapons one would not wish to be without. Through progress in the palace, princess Farah becomes the single collaborator helpful to succeed his pursuit.

Explore ancient medieval environments in corrupt land of Persia. As you play the courageous, fearless prince, journey inside the gloomy kingdom won't be an easy task. Use your sword to undertake sand creatures and animal sand creatures. Slaughter them with style by incorporating the vaulting attack, wall rebound attack, and combo attack. The prince can also perform skillful maneuvers. He can run on the walls, push/pull objects, and swing on a bar whenever it's determined necessary. Once you triumph any particular segment (usually encounter three sand creatures per segment) you may then venture further in the game. When health diminishes, drink from a water pool and fountain to refill your warrior's life meter.

The one significant thing worth criticizing is that sometimes the game seems impassable. Even the ability to rewind, fast forward, freeze, and slowdown time through the dagger's magic powers, at some point you might threaten to discontinue when unable to advance any further. Confusion may set in of what must be achieved but never let that dampen your spirit. The reward for preserving will be worth the commitment to reclaim the palace's cursed chambers and restore peace to the very fabric of Time itself.

ITS a classic

Prince of persia sands of time is a good mix of action and puzzles. The puzzles sometimes get a little nerve racking andwhen you finnaly do solve them you feel stupid that you didnt get it earlier. For $20 this is a good game even though its a few years old. This should be near the top on any list of great action games.

Love, Love, Love!!!

This is by far the best game I've ever played. I'm a huge fan of puzzle games that require you to actually think, not just fight. However, the fighting scenes are fun with all the great combos. The graphics in this game are UNBELIEVABLE! They're so realistic and just great to look at. I've played other games that require problem solving and fighting, but this one takes all! Another great thing about this game, is it's storyline. I really enjoyed the interaction between the prince and Farrah. They start off exchanging little quips at each other, but end up growing a deep connection (if only the ending was different...;))Anyways, if you're looking for a great game, get this one, you won't regret it!

Best PS2 Game Ever!!!

Wow. This game is just utterly amazing! In this game, you play as the radical prince of Persia, struggling to master the Sands of Time that he has unleashed. He finds a dagger that can rewind, fast-forward, freeze, and slow down time. You have countless different acrobatic gravity-defying moves, like wall push, wall-run, enemy vault, balance, pole swing, pole cimb, and many more! Also, the story is great and gameplay requires nick-of-time button pushing and logic.
*I wish that review thingie had more than 5 stars*

great Graphics and effects, repetative gameplay

This game really does deserve the aclaim it got last year. It's visually great, has some really great animation (if it was about the animation, this would be a 5 star review), and keeps the feel of 'exploration' that was so cool with the original so many years ago.

Where it falls down is three areas.
1) often, there is literally one path through the 'maze' (jumping mostly) that requires you to hit the buttons at just the right moment to successfully navigate. I'd rather have a more open system that let you try more things.
2) those paths get repetative - pole to column to pole to ledge to run along wall...
3) the fight scenes interrupt the action rather than add to it. You'll enter a room and you can not progress past it until you have defeated the 'guards' - which also becomes very repetative.

Overall, it's still a great game, but I do wish it gave you a few more choices in how to progress.

'' A DIFFERENT TYPE OF GAME '' !

DON'T GET ME WRONG , I LOVE ACTION GAMES WITH A BIT OF STRATEGY.BUT WHEN THERE IS TOO MUCH , IT CAN BE A BIT ANNOYING. AS IS THE MAIN CASE WITH THIS GAME..THE FIGHTING IN THE GAME IS COOL, ESPECIALLY ALL THE COMBAT MOVES YOU CAN PULL OFF, LIKE RUNNING UP A WALL OR YOUR ENEMIES BACKS, TO LAND A DEVASTATING SWORD STRIKE. AS WELL AS THE PRINCE'S SPECIAL MOVES- LIKE WALL RUNNING , TUMBLE ROLLS , AND THE REWIND FEATURE WHEN YOU OBTAIN THE SPECIAL SWORD. WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THE GAME , BECAUSE YOU CAN REWIND TIME IN ORDER TO REPLAY FIGHT SEQUENCES , REDO TRAPS THAT WRECKED YOU , OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU CHOOSE.BUT YOU CAN ALSO SLOW DOWN TIME TO MOVE FASTER THAN YOUR ENEMIES , TO GIVE YOU THAT EXTRA FIGHTING EDGE.MOST OF THE LEVELS ARE NOT THAT BIG, BUT THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY PUZZLES AND THAT CAN BE ANNOYING AT TIMES. THE FIGHTING IS SO AWESOME AND LOTS OF FUN TOO , BUT REST ASSURED YOUR SKILLS WILL BE PUT TO THE TEST, FIGHTING BETWEEN 15 TO 30 GUYS AT ONE TIME... PLUS YOU HAVE TO MASTER HIS JUMPING SKILLS , BECAUSE YOU'LL DEFINATELY BE NEEDING IT-WHEN YOU HAVE TO JUMP BETWEEN WALLS IN ORDER TO REACH A LEDGE THAT IS WAY UP. ONE SLIP AND YOU'LL FALL TO YOUR DEATH FOR SURE ! BUT IT IS STILL A LOT OF FUN TO PLAY , AND I RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY.BUT REMEMBER TO BLOCK, AND FIGHT NEAR A WATER FOUNTAIN TO FILL UP YOUR HEALTH.BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR SWORD AWAY , AND WILL BE OPEN TO ATTACK, SO YOU'D BEST BE QUICK ..AND ALSO GET THE SEQUEL TOO ,IT'S JUST AS GOOD ...ENJOY...
