Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (PS2) Reviews

I have fond memories of playing the Prince of Persia series in its 2D age when I had an Amiga.

This is a technical landmark with a genius gameplay engine, and is also ...  Read the complete review

I recently picked up a copy of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and I've really been enjoying playing it.

The plot of the game can more or less be summed up as: Prince make big mess, Prince try to fix big mess. ...  Read the complete review

I received this game free as part of a bundle package when I bought my PS2, oh so many years ago. It was in fact the reason I went for that particular bundle.

It took the appearance of Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time for me to realise how little the traditional, exploration-based action/adventure genre had been represented of late. Indeed, to find the last true classic that fits this description, PlayStation owners would have to rewind as far back as 1997 and Tomb Raider 2 to find a truly top-class ...  Read the complete review
