Really really awsome
This game is so cool. The graphics are average 4 a Xbox game. This game is pretty easy 2 beat. I havn't found a single glitch. I said this game is so fun 4 a few reasons: First reason, your charictor the prince can do the coolest fighting moves like like vaulting over a enemy & the stabbing it in the back, reason two, the Prince is a expert acrobat resaulting in being able 2 run acros walls, & other cool stunts. Reason three, It has a really awsome storyline. I really recomend this game, expecially if you like games like God of War.

Tomb Raider 4 guys
PoP was first released in 89 4 AppleII, Mac, DOS, Atari, GameBoy, Nintendo, etc, etc...Ubisoft picked up the ball in 03 & gave us this trilogy 4 xbox, PS2, game cube, etc. Also playable on the 360. Sands of Time is much like Tomb Raider (which is much like Indiana Jones) with added time control gimmick. 3rd person, jump from platform 2 platform, pillar 2 pillar, etc etc...A couple of these functions are also employed in Ubi's Splinter Cell (hanging on ledges)...
PROS
- wall running is cool (even though probably influenced from the Matrix).
- good 2 have a middle-eastern themed title in the mix.
- graphics are fine.
NEUTRAL
- story
CONS
- combat is button mashing, arcade-like, not much fun 4 many of us.
- primary combat attack is a button, not the right trigger (like every single other game in existence). Counter-intuitive.
- camera (view) is DEPLORABLE. Often uncontrollable & goes wherever the hell it wants to.
- bad guy is a rip-off of Aladdin's bad guy, even with a long face, beard & cobra-headed staff...only thing missing is Gilbert Gottfried's annoying parrot.
- too much like Tomb Raider. Gameplay, climbing, jumping, locations, etc. Combat in tomb raider is also fairly bad with its goofy infinite ammo auto-targeting stuff.
- time control is just a gimmick in place of a much better function (SAVE ANYWHERE).
- jumping around is often risky & hard 2 control (just like in Tomb Raider). Often it jumps where you don't want to, often 2 your death.
I don't totally get why everyone thinks this game is the bee's knees. The camera view, combat button-mashing & often-hard-to-control jumping make it more annoying than pleasant 2 play.

A totally awesome game but lacks in a few things
I recently just purchased this game over amazon & had no problems even though it came from a third party. It came shipped just like you would have bought it in a store. I bought this since I saw a friend playing the newest installment of the Prince of Persia series. He recommended it & Now onto the game of what I thought.
I will try not 2 ruin the game 4 everybody but this is a great game. I, as 4 many others could hardly put down the controller. The story starts out as you see him running through a forest talking about time. And I will stop right there because then I would spoil the story.
One particular problem I had with the game was that I could hardly hear the characters talking. I had 2 turn it up so loud that during the fighting sequences, it was blasting my ear but when it came 2 cut scenes, it was just loud enough 2 hear. That I did not enjoy. Maybe I am just the only one who had a problem with this. So a minor set back
Another problem I had was the fighting sequences. When you had numerous enemies surrounding you, you puch one button 2 do a move, & it does the opposite of what you want it 2 do. Plus, I had problems with not being able 2 block an enemies slash. So there were times where I was hit three 2 four times & nothing I could have done about it, even with dagger 2 move back time.
The last problem I had was how easy the game seem. Some of the puzzles are challenging, but others are very simple & you will fly right through them. The hardest one is known as, "The Hall of Learning." I had 2 resort 2 a walkthrough 2 figure it out & I hardly do that! The final boss in the game, I found it very easy 2 beat & I expected more.
Overall I would still highly recommmend this game 2 anybody. It is fun, hard 2 put down, & it gets you involved in the story. Be prepared 4 some minor setbacks so that is my reason 4 the three stars.
