Reviewing Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands PSP

Story: The story takes place before the Prince of Persia Series began. It is when Ahihud tried to kill all Persian Royalties because of the prophecy that he will be killed by a Royal Blood. While the whole empire is under attacked, The Prince saw a light and followed it. The light was one of the daughter's of time namely Helem. He told the Prince that she can guide her to Ahihud and avenge his family but in exchange, the Prince will help Helem free her three more sisters that Ahihud imprisoned. And yeah. It's a lot different story from the PS3 and Xbox 360 Version.

Gameplay: Okay. I'd be honest with you. This game isn't what I'm expecting from Ubisoft. It's a two directional game. Somewhat like a 2D game. Don't get me wrong. a lot of people say that it's 2D. It's not! It's 3D with 2D Controls. Don't be silly.

Of course you'll play as the Prince. Trying to Avenge/Rescue your whole royal family from Ahihud and you got Helem that will help you in your adventure. You'll encounter Whirl winds. Spike traps. and of course, Ahihud's minions. In this game. You have the power to accelerate time or to stop time. For an object at least. You got to have proper timing on how to use them though. Because for instance, A flowing sand can be a ledge if you stop the time. It will become
solid. You can use it to climb and do your acrobatic stuff to move forward. However you can turn it back into a flowing sand by accelerating time. And some of the stages needs proper timing and execution to move forward.


The enemies are easy though. You can control an enemy to attack another enemy with your power to accelerate time. Most of the enemies are like a 10 hit combo and they're dead. I should say "it's a child's play". But what matters to me is the Puzzles. So it's not really a big deal to me. Not to mention, The final boss. Ahihud only takes 4 hits and he's dead. And believe me. It's the most easiest boss ever encountered so far. (Easier than Koopa! from mario bros.)

You'll have the fountains as your save point and replenish your health and recall. The Recall isn't really detailed. Unlike on the PS3 version of the game. And literally, All you can see in this Game is about Sands. Truly a Prince of Persia v1(The one that is played on DOS) essence.

Graphics: 6/10

Over All Ratings: 6/10

Comments: If you're looking for an improved Prince of Persia V1. Here it is! Only 3d. However, I recommend this game for people that has a spare time trying it just for the sake of having ALL Prince of Persia played. It's not the best PoP Installment but worth downloading/buying and stuff if you like puzzles and you want to test your reflexes and timing with this game. I myself spent 13 hours to play this game.

 2 Directional Gameplay. Isn't Really the trend. :P
