The former Sands of Time trilogy has been expanded with a fourth game in the series and this has been titled The Forgotten Sands. The prince, as we know him, but as we have learned to expect, he always has an ace up its sleeve, and the same is obviously valid at this time.
As a simple visit was less simple
Our dear prince has gone to his home town to visit brother man, but when he did not even say hello nicely before the unthinkable becomes thinkable. The city is attacked, and when his brother Malik believes that they have a chance against the enemy, he summons the help of an army of real soldiers, but does not give quite the outcome he had hoped. As we have seen before, have sandy dangerous forces, and once again let a monster out there that can then spend the entire game to hunt and fight.
Prince is not alone in fighting evil, then he quickly meetings Razia, a female Djinn (ed: an immortal human who protects the world), Which is extremely interested in true army defeated. She even has the possibility to give the prince control over the elements, and the possibility of including to rewind the clock back, cold water and two other properties that we will let you discover on your own.
Prince as we know him
As is typical of Prince of Persia titles, there is considerable focus on being indescribable acrobatic. What we others know is not possible for the ordinary citizen of the world can persuade the prince without great problems, because .. yes, because he is tough. You must run, jump, climb, swing, and fingers crossed much along the way, and it comes in large degree to think quickly than it did in particular the latest Prince of Persia games. As one works his way through the story and learn a lot of different properties, it becomes constant for more and more challenging to get around and that is how we remember and how we love it from Sands of Time trilogy.
Besides having to mostly acrobatics you must also learn to handle a sword. There will be killed many monsters in The Forgotten Sands, and even if you have the four elements water, fire, earth and wind at his disposal, it is a reasonable generic combat system. One can beat normally, hit hard, kick or push, and you can jump up and stand on most of the enemies, but it is a way also. The elements are only really cool to use when they achieve their highest level, which they hardly do before the game is completed.
Game absolute key point is undoubtedly acrobatics, as it simply continues to be cool to get around on so wild and reckless manner, as the prince now even manages. It is also where the challenge lies, especially near the end of the game where it is necessary to keep the tongue straight into his mouth several times. Everything is made less frustrating, as it through the sand – and Razia – can rewind the clock back, if you do something wrong. With one touch you can then walk a few seconds back and try to rectify what exactly went wrong, whether it is a leap or a battle scene.
When history is written so …
When after a day or two have played his way through the half-short stories, you can try out the game Arena. Basically there is a single arena, but if you play through the story, scorer Uplay-points and redeem them, one can open up an additional arena and the opportunity to play as Ezio from Assassin’s Creed second Arena They do not take many minutes to play through, after which there is little reason to try them again and to play as Ezio’s a bold option that nonetheless ultimately … right indifferent.
During a single play-through, it is impossible to completely maxe all prince properties, so this may give some motivation to run the game through again. You can then very conveniently play as Ezio, which probably has just been thought. It is not necessary to play through the story again to maxe properties, as this can be done in the arenas of shorter time if that is what you will.
Entertaining, but ..
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is pretty good entertainment, maybe with the exception of the game’s battle sequences. The enemies are the same few types again and again and the same is true when the game’s mini-bosses. They are all identical and very easy to kill, and there is not really the least bit challenging to find on this front, including because you can go a little too crazy with the elements.
Another thing that pulls down, is simply the game’s lifespan. It does not take much more than 6-7 hours playing both the story and arenas through, then as I said not much more to play for. Even if you hunt trophies, there is not much more to follow as most trophies come naturally during a single play-through.
Short and sweet
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a very entertaining game, as long as it lasts. If you are a fan of the prince’s adventures, you have perhaps already chosen a very special place on the shelf for the game here, but with such a short lifetime, it is hard to recommend anything other than a lease or a purchase at a later date when the price has dropped a Part. Nevertheless, I would recommend that you get the game Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands sooner or later because it still had a pretty good day in the company of everybody’s prince.
Lifetime: 6 / 10
Graphics: 8 / 10
Gameplay: 8 / 10
Sound: 8 / 10
Overall score: 7 / 10
We look: More than a new adventure with Prince of Persia, taking a big step back to the good old and familiar, as many missing in Prince of Persia from 2008.
We bored ourselves: When the story is incredibly unpredictable and the game is so short that even when serving some twists.
We would like: More of the same – much more! The next Prince of Persia is very happy to take the same story once again, we will then look more nuanced struggles and most importantly, much more life.
