Mark Arnold5.0We had the original Prince of Persia, coded by one talented young man in 1989. It spawned a couple decent 2D sequels and one failed attempt at 3D. Then, in 2003, Ubisoft rebooted the series and released Prince of Persia: The Sands of Tim...

Ubisoft took the reigns in 2003, bringing new life to the franchise with a third-person viewpoint, more emphasis on acrobatics and a clever twist with the timeline in their Sands of Time trilogy. Few would argue that these games were flawless, with ma...

Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PCPG, $1103.5 out of 5 Over the past 20 years, the dashing Prince of Persia has had several significant makeovers, even suffering through a deeply cynical phase with a snarl. But one trait has remained constant: his thrill...

The Prince is back! Despite the hype, Ubisoft have pushed this title in a new direction, and its one that purists probably wont like. The amazing artwork struggles to conceal repetitive combat and a game that, at its heart, is incredibly easy. Kids w...
Artistically one of the best looking and animated games this year. Decent story with two interesting lead characters. AI companion who is extremely likeable, helpful, and never gets in the way or slows you down. A very easy game, so if you have kids or ar...
Too simplistic and easy. Lack of control makes what should be a satisfying platformer something where there is little sense of achievement. The controls are not 100% responsive. Can be frustratingly repetitive, especially during some of the fights. The en...

One had to wonder what logic Ubisoft used to justify a remake of Prince of Persia so early into the last trilogy’s run. I personally didn’t understand the need to revamp a working formula. After having played the 2008 version it all became clear: it’s...
Prince of Persia took a definite step backwards in terms of gameplay but considering Ubisoft is looking to attract casual gamers, the change can be deemed a success. Repetition, on the other hand, is no excuse. A few more innovations would have definit...

A beautiful game that melds a solid gameplay foundation with wonderful new mechanics.
Storyline could have been better with ongoing narration instead of stop-and-start conversations that hurt the flow.
