3.0 out of 5 stars From a longtime Prince fan..., May 20, 2010

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Video Game)
Few games evoke the passion and yearning to play than the Prince of Persia series has for me. The amazing balance between combat, adventure, and puzzles was all I could have ever wanted in a franchise. Heck, even the 2008 reboot was immense fun even without the hordes of enemies. I was willing to sacrifice that aspect in order to have a hugely engrossing and epic story. It should come as no surprise that after the cliffhanger that was the end of the '08 PoP (and the subsequent DLC) that I wanted that storyline to progress into another full length game. I didn't get that. Instead we're sent back to the Sands of Time universe for another go-round with that Prince for a game that supposedly is set after The Sands of Time and before Warrior Within.

THE STORY:
The Prince ventures to meet with his Brother, Malik. When he arrives he sees his brother's castle is under attack. Skip ahead a bit and--against the Prince's wishes--Malik summons the Sand Army, thinking if he can...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A rental filled with magic and tedium, May 24, 2010
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Video Game)
Game's too flawed for a 4 but it's not mediocre enough to warrant a 3 so consider this a 3.5 star review.

As a massive fan of the 2008 refresh of the Prince of Persia series, I often felt like as much of an apologist as an enthusiast, trying to convince people that the one from 2008 was an incredibly solid title with absolutely gorgeous graphics, a nice attempt at a different combat mechanic and a promising start to hopefully another successful trilogy. However the title was released in an incredibly busy fall/winter period and despite some positive press, the game didn't exactly sell well, not to mention the criticisms that it was too easy. I will admit the platforming was very rudimentary and basic in that game but it was also slightly zen-like, almost effortless and you never felt frustrated by the puzzle-y platforming aspects and it was a game where you can just..."go" and not worry about repeating long sections or have your fifth attempt at another hard section...Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Killer BUG kills the fun, May 22, 2010

This review is from: Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Video Game)
After close to 11 hours of playing this game and being very close to the final battle, I ran into a bug that makes it impossible to continue the game. The game saves automatically and there seems to be no way to restart a specific chapter. The automatic checkpoint is not your last checkpoint, but puts you in a room with no exits. This is a room you passed by before, only both doors are now locked. I restarted, rebooted, but nothing changes this. The only option left is to restart the game and replay the 11 hours.

This is too bad, because the game itself is probably one of the better POP to come up lately. I don't mind replaying it sometime, but I do mind replaying it on these terms.

Even with this bug, I would have rated this higher than 1 star, but with Warrior Within having a similar issue, this is really sloppy work from the developer, especially for a $60 game.

How to avoid the bug: in the last chapter, there is a long section where you have...Read more
