One of the best
This is the best Xbox game ever!! Once you get rolling with the action..it's hard to put the controller down. I just received The Warrior Within from my fiancée over the weekend and I'm soooo looking forward to starting the new journey.

Yea...it's THAT good!
LOVESIT!!! This is one of those adventure games that you just can't stop playing. The graphics are amazing, the sound is great, and the gameplay is incredible. It's amazing how fluid the prince moves in this game and how he controls. You can do amazing looking acrobatics, run across walls, and slow down ladders with ease and without complication. One thing I absolutely love about this game are the puzzles. They always make sense and although some are quite hard, they add a great depth to the game. They are all pretty similar in how they are completed, usually having to go from point A to point B. This is something I found great. I'm not too fond of games that have a great deal of backtracking involved; to me this ruins the excitement of the game. The combat system in the game is also a major plus. The prince can hold one of several swords, in which he can easily slash threw enemies with. Even though these are all great things, probably my favorite aspect of the game is the ability to go back in time. Let's say you accidently fall to your death in the middle of a pretty lengthy part of the game. What are you going to do?, restart and try all over again? No! You can easily just go back in time and try again from seconds before the death, that is if you have any Sand power left. All in all, this game is a great action/adventure title perfect for any gamer in the mood for a very fulfilling story and game.
Presentation
The story is great. The menus are some of the best I've seen and easy to track through.
Graphics
The graphics are amazing. The enviroments are stunning. This is just a great work of art.
Sound
The dialouge and voice acting is great. The music and sound effects fit the game well.
Gameplay
The gameplay is really what keeps me loving this game. The puzzles are very fun even though some can be quite a challenge.
Lasting Appeal
A pretty lengthy action adventure title that, once completed, can easily be repeated with just as much fun as the first time through!

The Persian Formally Known as Prince
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is available for the XBOX, Playstation 2,
Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance and PC. This review is in reference to the XBOX version.
Prince of Persia the video game was released in its very first incarnation 17 years ago for the 8bit Apple II series personal computer. Players were wowed with its fresh style of game play that used acrobatics and swashbuckling to solve action based puzzles and aid you on your way though the stages. You didn't have projectile weapons to blast enemies from a distance, just your agility, wit and trusty sword for intense close quarters combat. Other games in the same vein came soon after to create a series, however, not until The Sands of Time did the Prince of Persia truly begin to rule.
You play as the young Prince. The story begins as your naivet? and your attraction to the alluring dark magic dagger force you foolishly claim it as your own. As a result, you unwittingly unleash the sands of time along with a deadly evil. You must now right the wrong you have created by seeking and destroying all of the evil creatures you released and recollecting the sands of time from their fallen corpses.
You will acquire new strengths and abilities as you collect the sands. These abilities will allow you to control time itself. You will be able to slow time to gain an advantage over your enemies and even reverse time to make second attempts when you fail to conquer an obstacle (or face your death). In addition to these temporal abilities the prince possesses cat-like acrobatic skills, such running on walls and incredible fighting skills all combined to make a truly powerful being.
The game is beautiful, amazingly beautiful. I had never seen a game that looked so soft and inviting while at the same time evil and menacing. The environments are lush, expansive and richly detailed. The game play is very fluid with a comprehensive combat system that just feels right and is loads of fun to use. This is one of the rare games that you simply cannot stop playing until you reach the end. Utterly superb!

Prince of Persia, but King of Time
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time - Circa 2003
GOOD:
- Unique control over time (time rewind is very helpful and cool)
- Lots of exceptional and unique acrobatics and puzzles
- Great remake of the classic Prince of Persia franchise
BAD:
- Combat is not truly fleshed out, feels lacking and repetitive
- Many consider game overall short
- No real boss battles to speak of
IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
- Lots of acrobat jumping, climbing, wall-running, as well as puzzle solving
- Not a God of War/Devil may Cry type of game at all
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
- Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- Hidden in the game is a unlockable version of the original Prince of Persia (original Prince of Persia 2, unlockable on Xbox version only)
