Review: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

[Nick]

Prince of Persia has always danced at the edges of greatness (well, except for that one PC game some years ago - but even Link has his skeletons), but if there were any holdouts left, this latest installment should be enough to settle the argument. The Prince has finally done 3D right.

To read a review done right by another prince among men, you can do a lot worse than right over here.

Well said. GOTY.

The game is definitely good, but no way is it perfect. The combat gets stale pretty quick, the booby trap sections feel unpolished, and the sound quality (especially on the voices) stinks. The graphics are pretty good but lack a certain polish that could make it all look less computer-ish and more organic. It's also a bit on the easy side.

Definitely not huge problems--the game is great--but it is not perfect.

Incredibly fun game + 7 hours game time + no extra difficulty modes (or anything that would encourage a replay) = ;_;

I guess I can go through the included PoP and PoP2... again.

Anyone know what version of PoP is included? Looks like the Sega CD game more than the computer game. Unless they updated it on the PC and I missed it.

It's the Macintosh version.

And the games not perfect... but it's still one of the finest games of this year.
