Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands: catchup review

Initially, we thought The Forgotten Sands was an adventure chronicling the efforts of eighties/nineties comedienne Sandi Toksvig and sixties singer Sandie Shaw to reclaim the fame and success they had previously enjoyed. We soon realised our mistake however, and saw that the subtitle was in fact the first indication that this latest Prince of Persia game aims to put the player in mind of Sands of Time.

Yuri Lowenthal: MCM Expo 2010 interview (part two)

“Don’t look for me in a cameo in the Prince of Persia movie, because that was something I fought tooth and nail for, and could not get in.” He says it very good naturedly, and gets a sympathy laugh. “But I did see the movie and it’s exciting, and fun. There’s a list as long as my arm of projects I’d love to be involved in. It’s a tough call when you say ‘I wish I’d played that’ because on the one hand yes, but on the other hand if you’re a fan of that then I love the way it was done, and I wouldn’t want to change it in any way. So it’s hard to say ‘I wish I had played L in Death Note’ or whatever because, you know, it was good and I liked it.

Yuri Lowenthal: MCM Expo 2010 interview (part one)

If Kyle Hebert instantly feels like your coolest best friend – and he does – then Yuri Lowenthal instantly feels like your most famous best friend. He wields a professionally polished charm that would sit comfortably on a Hollywood A – list celebrity; a charm that says ‘I am an extremely busy man, and I only just managed to fit you into my schedule; but now that I’ve met you, I’m glad that I did’. That said, Tom Cruise never had the cajones to wear a t shirt with the word ‘geek’ emblazoned across it.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands – PAX East Preview & Hands-On

As the prince leaps around his brother’s palace, he’ll be able to freeze waterfalls and fountains, turning them into walls and poles for a limited time. With the immediacy of acrobatics and some crafty level design, Forgotten Sands comes off as a high-octane puzzle platformer, demanding players to quickly read the environment and react.

Love, Actually?

So despite the fact that the Prince is no doubt a disease riddled lothario (I’m guessing that in the period of time the game is set in contraception is rather rudimentary), Elika has to rely on him to survive. She should remember, there is no ‘I’ in team… but there are two in syphilis.

Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands: First Look video with gameplay footage

The best PoP game of the last generation, and arguably the best of the series to date, was Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Sumptuous visuals, perfectly judged sound design, an enthralling story that even managed to avoid a ‘happily ever after’ ending, and smooth as silk acrobatics and combat. Judging by the gameplay footage seen here, Forgotten Sands should be closer to that game than any of the others.
