I have it, the game is beautiful and a tad bit easy, but still damn fun to play.

Sands of time is one of my all time favorites. Would you say if someone enjoyed one the earlier games they would like this one(assuming you played one the earlier versions). Or is the gameplay different from those...Thanks!

It's pretty much the same as the earlier PofP's. If you liked those, you'll like this IMO. It's fun, and pretty, which helps a lot. Just you can't die, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Thanks for the info...just ordered it from amazon. So hopefully I'll have this in a few days.

How would it being easy suck the fun out of it? Falling down the same hole 87 times and having to start the level over would be more likely to suck the fun out of it.

If that was a queston relevant to this game than I would have asked it. But I haven't read a review where that was a problem. I like a happy medium but I agree with you....I would rather a game be too easy than too difficult. And just like EG said, you can't die in this game which is why I asked the question.

If there really isn't any challenge (Knowing you can die and have to start over at some earlier stage of the level) then whats the point?
I'm all for having fun but if there isn't a challenge then doesn't it just become a "game" you enjoy for visuals and nothing more?

Just wondering as I am not saying the game is bad or good because I haven't played it.

there's still a challenge though.. not in the sense of "if i die, i have to start over" but more so "hmm... jumping like this didn't help, let me try to get around another way"

Basically it's the sands of time's Time Rewind without a limit.

Oh, there's a challenge, and you don't die, but that doesn't mean you're an invicible being running through the game. You can look at it this way, you do die, but when you do, you start right before where you just would have died, if that makes sense.

I'll be playing this game soon, but that right there is the issue I have with the game. The sands of time mechanic was built all around "dying", and now thats not even possible?

I don't get the obsession with dying.

Me either. Wasn't that whole deal a scam anyway? Invented in arcades to get more quaters? I perfer it to be like a movie where people would only die or run out of ammo in cutscenes. Dying is so 80's.

After beating this game, I'd definately kick the Prince's dumb ***.

Re: New Prince of Persia game (360/PS3/PC)

I just beat the game and I agree, he's an idiot.

This game was on sale yesterday for $40. Wonder if anyone picked it up.
