Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - Xbox 360

Say what you like about the last Prince of Persia - at least it was a genuine attempt to take the series somewhere new. Sadly, for every one of us who loved the gorgeous cartoon graphics, the fast-paced, frustration-free platforming, the epic...

Great gameplay, magic elements are refreshing, looks spectacular

Lacks personality, storyline doesn't really pull you along

In many ways The Forgotten Sands combines great things from both the classic Sands of Time and the 2008 reboot; it's fun, good-looking and plays like the old ones, but has the pace, polish and less hardcore approach of the last Prince of Persia. Sadly,...

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS5) review: Ubisoft has a GOTY contender in their hands

It's only January and we already have a GOTY contender here.

Fantastic boss fights ; Challenging yet fun platforming sections ; Map photo-taking is a genre-changing feature ; Plenty of hours of gameplay

Backtracking is tedious ; Graphics is not the game's strongest point

Prince of Persia review

First debuting on the Apple II, the Prince of Persia is back again.

Addictive platform action; stunning graphics

Steep hardware demands; difficulty curve flatlines

Apparently, at least one more. First debuting on the Apple II, the Prince of Persia is back again. One more time. This time, it’s personal. Or something.

Prince of Persia

The world is in peril and the only people who can save it are a mysterious princess and a dashing rogue whose wit is as sharp as his sword. Is that enough to rescue the fate of the world from an evil god of darkness? There's only one way to find out.

Prince of Persia

The plot line that began in The Sands of Time and concluded with The Two Thrones has officially ended. Our new Prince appears in this game, caught in a sandstorm, attempting to make his way home. "Farah!" the Prince shouts, several times over -- a nod...

Addictive and fun, thought-provoking boss battles, beautiful Okami-inspired world, abundant puzzles to solve ;

Incredibly cheesy voice acting, character design evokes romance novels, some will miss the darker Prince of old, no time manipulation ;

All told, this is a great debut for the Prince of Persia series on the PS3 and Xbox 360. While I can't help but miss the old Prince's darker character, the new Prince's world is just too much fun to play through. Once you have at it, I'm sure you'll...

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown review: kicking off 2024’s game of the year debate

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a master class in seamless Metroidvania design, and the first must-play game of the year.

Insightful character moments Seamless Metroidvania design Fluid platforming and combat Innovative Memory Shard system Lots of accessibility options

Overcrowded cast of characters

“Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a monumental achievement in approachable, seamless Metroidvania design.”

Review: Prince of Persia

How many reboots can a series take? How many “re-imaginings” can a character endure before he becomes a watered down shadow of his former glory, forced to trot through the motions in repetitive games that smack of boredom and unoriginality?

Addictive platform action; stunning graphics

Steep hardware demands; difficulty curve flatlines

Macworld’s buying advice. The steep graphical requirements sour an otherwise generally fun experience. Yes, the combat is wonky, the environments repetitive, the difficulty curve flat, and the dialogue taken from a crappy romantic comedy, but the...
