The Platformer for Everyone
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (PoP) is a fantastic game. It isn't perfect of course, but so much is right with this one that it is hard to imagine not at least renting it, if not buying it outright, if you like platformers at all. You know you're playing too many videogame when you start shopping by publisher, but its getting to that point with Ubisoft now. Remember how good Splinter Cell was? Well, this game is definitely in the same league.

PoP is more than just a platformer though, it also has a combat component that plays out more like a 3D fighting game than a classical 3rd person action game. The combat is not terribly deep or difficult (although it gets quite tough towards the end of the game) but it is incredibly stylish and exceptionally cool.

Stylish and cool are good overall descriptors for the entire game. The story is good and the graphics and animations are lush and beautiful. The soundtrack is good enough to buy, although, unfortunately, it is underplayed in the game itself.

At its heart though, PoP is really a platformer. It has two special twists though. First, the designers wanted this to be a fun game, first and foremost. As such, the game does a good job of protecting you from walking off of random cliffs, or comitting the sort of silly mistakes that can cost you hours of frustration in a typical platformer. The second great innovation is the Dagger of Time, and the ability to slow time, rewind, etc. The Dagger is of course very useful in combat, but it is amazing as a platforming tool since it effectively gives you several chances at the toughest jumps. Again, this is an incredibly powerful tool for reducing the sort of frustrations that come with a tyical platformer, since you won't have to do the same long stretch of game over and over again just to get a difficult jump and die, only to start all over. PoP takes the promise for effective time manipulation offered in a videogame like Blinx, but this time, they really deliver.

This game is amazingly EASY. Save yourself the cash and rent it for a couple bucks if you really want to try it.
