Prince of persia sands of excellence
Aug 5 2004
I must have completed this game at least eight times since I got it for christmas (with a ps2 might I add) Everything about it is a classic, 100% grade A work from pop team and ubisoft. Ok ok, I admit the start of the game is a little bit dull, that is until you retreive the dagger only about 5% of the way into the game. Its not a very long game, I can finish it in about 4 hours, I know all the secrets (I work in a chat game help text service the number to call if you need help or secrets is 0773 1331 864 not only for popsot but a number of many games charged at standard rate. text the word, pshelp)
You'll begin the game, the first 30% with a rather pathetic sword, but the sand creatures you face mach it so don't worry. The different levels all merge into the princes journey (with Farah) they follow as - Outside the Maharajahs palaces and its defences, inside the palace of Azah, in a warehouse, the sultan zoo, the baths, in castles, underground reseviours, baths, hall of learning, prison, the tower of dawn, a tomb, and climbing the tower. Throughout these stagest, 3 sword up grades. Finishing with a weapon that can eliminate sand cratures with a single successful strike (kicking doesn't count).
there are many magic fountains availiable throught the game, Game service mentioned above know the werabouts of them all so please feel free to ask for help.

excellent game
Jun 29 2004
Pros:
- graphics: players feel as if they are indeed hundreds if not thousands of feet above the ground. Very well animated characters and cut scenes.
- story: well written story keeps player interested in game outcome.
- controls: player can perform stupendous combat moves and stunts to defeat enemies and solve puzzles, all with minimal button presses.
- seamless tutorial system: the included tutorials integrate well into the overall gameplay.
- challenge: for once a game is designed where the player can clearly attribute mistakes to actions taken rather than gameplay, game design, or AI decisions.

Cons:
- camera angles at times get in the way. While overall better than most games, they still could use some work. Some points players must travel to are hidden out of view at times. Limited
camera controls don't help this either.
- very difficult: novice gamers may get discouraged by the challenge.
- easter egg bug: I couldn't get the secret game unlocked in the version purchased new off the shelf.
The Prince Of Perfection!!!!
July 10 2004
Let me tell you this game just plain out rocks! Having played my fair share of Ps2 games...this game stands far and wide as one of the best...To be honest it might be one of the funnest games Ive ever played. It starts off like a platformer type game but then some heavy combat comes into play...my girlfriend
and I split up the playing....(since I had rented it)...
we beat it in 7 days,.....she was floored by it...as I was..the graphics are far above most games....smoothe and clear...and his movements are amamzing...you never fall off ledges or die too easy...and the rewind thing is soooo cool!...Im a 37 year old gamer so its really incredible to find a game that just plays so well.
Buy this game...rent it!!! Damn I cant say enough...
you will not be let down my friend....

Excellent platforming
This game has some very original platforming; I've never jumped so many different ways. There are a lot of cool jumping puzzles; the developers obviously concentrated on making... Read more

Beautiful-looking and playing - but a bit shallow
In terms of a pure gameplay experience, this is among the best of the next-generation games.
The first thing you will notice are the stunning graphics. Read more
