#Prince of persia: the forgotten sands series
I know we're poking fun a bit, but honestly it just doesn't sit well with the simple plot and in the end the game becomes more a series of rooms with jumping puzzles, and the odd encounter with sandy goons.Īfter such great action adventure games like Assassins Creed, Uncharted 2 and God of War 3, this just can't compete on any level really. just build a bigger wall or something! Also there HAS to be an easier way to go through this building than all this random leaping and climbing. Yeah, pretty impractical defences really. only to have your brother come up with a weak excuse about 'activating the palace defences'. As you progress through the game's endless traps you start to wonder what on earth they're all doing here in the first place.
The rewind feature means you'll take more risks as you leap about the place knowing you can go back a step, and there are times when you'll really get your groove on. Right off the bat you'll be given the ability to rewind time which lets you correct all those times when you jumped and shouldn't have, or slashed when you should have rolled. It had its moments Bajo, but Forgotten Sands will tug a few nostalgic memories for fans of the series. Unfortunately these guys just can't get it together - it might have something to do with the 3 million poles and swinging blades in between them at all times.Įventually the power of the medallion corrupts Milleek, and the prince has to stop him, Being a bit of a Prince fan I was looking forward to this game HEX, especially as the last game formerly known as the Prince of Persia may have looked amazing, but in the end was way too easy and kind of boring to be honest
The entire game sees the prince chasing after his brother Milleek, to reconnect a medallion and send hordes of sand creatures back from whence they came. It’s OK as far as Flash games go but the lack of responsiveness to the keyboard commands can’t be forgiven.Prince of Persia the Forgotten Sands is set after the events of The Sands of Time and even though it's coming out in proximity to the film, it's not at all connected. To end, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a game worth playing if you really don’t have anything better to do or to play. It can be good if you have the patience for it Other times, he’ll just die out of the blue, and when you restart the level, he will not obey any of your keyboard commands. Sometimes, he won’t jump, or he’ll jump too late. To a certain point, the game is enjoyable. It has OK graphics, a nice and challenging gameplay and the action happens very fast. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands feels like a nice and rather fun game to play if you’re into 2D games.
It’s fun at first, but then the bugs kick in The only thing you can do to prevent that is to jump, climb, attack and use the sands to reverse time by a bit in case you get in trouble.Īs the level progresses, the running speed of the Prince increases and since things come a lot faster towards you, it will be harder to avoid the traps. The prince can end up impaled on some steel spikes, cut to pieces, shot down, and he can also fall to his doom from somewhere high up. It’s created with a speedrun mechanic, meaning that the Prince will constantly run to the right side of the screen, and you have to make sure that he doesn’t get killed.ĭeath can occur in a number of ways and in a lot of time, you won’t see it coming. It’s fast, and it gets fasterĪs a Flash game, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands will be at most a casually good thing to play. The game features 2D graphics and is built using Flash, which means that the graphics are limitedly decent. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a fan-made game, created to deliver another side to the Prince’s story.
