Editor's review of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time demo

The latest release in the Prince of Persia series is an adventure through a mystical world of magic daggers and sand demons. An intuitive control system, a tremendous amount of special moves, and the ability to rewind time are the most enjoyable features of this refreshing adventure.

The demo features a healthy introduction to the game, with the prince capturing the Dagger of Time, battling sand demons, and navigating dangerous passages. Moving the prince uses the four directional keys and a jump button, while right-clicking unleashes the ability to run along walls, climb barricades, and swing from poles. Though the death-defying acrobatics needed to complete each level are remarkably cool, the tricky moves are usually simple to perform.

Three camera possibilities--third-person, first-person, and extended overhead--offer comprehensive views of the environments. Positioning the camera is easy enough, though close-ups of corners happen every so often. Fighting mostly consists of hacking and slashing, but creatures can only be killed with a finishing dagger move. Each kill gives the prince another tank of sand, which he can use in combination with the dagger to rewind time. Once the prince has killed enough creatures, the magic dagger can control time in other ways, such as freezing, fast-forwarding, or peering into the future. The demo might be a bit easy for overachievers, but we highly recommend it for any fans of 3D adventures.

  4th dimension added quite beautifully

  by: dunegupta on 05-Oct-2006 01:18:53 PM

  Pros: yeh, the concept of time rewinding techniques to correct the error you just made and cool combos to boost the playability value, at no point you feel the game boring as u have so many things to try . There are more than 50 combos and you can master any number to enhance the wow factor during the gameplay(the game runs in slow-mo for a sec. or 2 when u execute a cool combo).worth spending 40 bucks and the best part is that it's rated T so all can enjoy.

  Cons: none

  The Prince Rises

  Pros: Prince of Persia is back in full glorie! After a misstep in the form of Prince of Perisa 3D, is the prins back for a new adventure. This is one of the best platform/adventures i've ever played. Played the game in one time, it's just perfect fun. The swordfights, the puzzles, the acrobatics and the time affecting options mkae this game a real classic. The graphics engine is beautifull and the controls are very good. It's a must play!

  Cons: The camera can sometimes be a hazard. Some acrobatic jumps etc. seem to be impossible and can get very stressfull.

  Pros: Well this game is what should have got game of the year 2003 I Mean C'mon the system requirement are 800mhz and 256mb RAM and Like GeForce 3 and up and even on that it runs ok and the best part about this game is it graphics and movement physics like the way everything slows down and dynamic lighting its just amazing

  Cons: the guy with the GeForce 4 seems to have trouble and i think i have a cure..basically ubisoft always has a document to a game which blocks out unsupoorted cards like Intel 845G's n stuff or ur graphics card for instances so look at every documenty until you find one which has the name of your graphics card and then delete the name of your graphics card and it wont detected and faults..now theres only gonna be one problem in the game as you mentioned pixel shaders.. the dynamic lighting may appear to look pixellated and blur effects may be extremely corrupted but hey GAME PLAYS FINE!!!!
