Game Company’s Description: Amidst the scorched sands of ancient Persia, there is a legend spun in an ancient tongue. It speaks of a time borne by blood and ruled by deceit. It is within this war torn land that a young Prince discovers a magic dagger. Drawn to its dark powers, he is led to unleash a deadly evil upon the reaches of his father’s vast kingdom. Aided by the wiles of a seductive princess and the absolute powers of the Sands of Time, the Prince stages a harrowing quest to reclaim the Palace’s cursed chambers, and restore peace to the very fabric of Time itself. He must tread these dangers carefully, however. Because in this world, there is only one rule: master the Sands, or be buried.
Embody a legendary hero with gravity-defying acrobatics, ferocious fighting combos, and the ability to bend time to fulfill his bidding. Wield the power of the Sands of Time – a force allowing the Prince to erase the past, behold the future, and freeze the present. Uncover the mysteries of a world never before explored in action-adventure gaming. Ancient Persia, mythical and deadly, holds a staggering array of landscapes and kingdoms to explore and conquer.

Look: The characters are well modeled. The extraordinary design gives reason to pause. The sand and dust particles are phenomenal. This is one of the best looking games I’ve seen in quite some time.

Feel: Very interesting controls. Your dagger can work to go back in time, so if you die you’ve got your trusty dagger to go back in time or to just stick a bad guy in the back. You’d be better off using a scimitar to do the dirty work. Most of the bad guys are easily dispatched even with their neat teleporting skills.

The prince has a good bag of tricks. He’s more than a prince, more like a superhero. He can leap all over the place and perform all sorts of aerial tricks. The prince is phenomenally quick and nimble.

Much of the game design is crystal clear. There is a good deal of game to play yet very directions to go. You always get a layout of the area and sometimes you can see what is coming up.

Hear: The voice acting is very good. From the sound of footsteps and ambiance are very well done.

Frankly: This is going to be the must get game for the holiday season.
