Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is an excellent game, with an interesting storyline based on a young nobleman trying to repair the mess he did with a magical dagger capable of controlling time.

The game itself has an excellent graphic and free-flow combat system.

The combat system is well-created, allowing the player to use whatever object around him like walls and enemies but also the same power hidden within the dagger in order to slow down enemies and bring you back to life like going back in time (it somehow remined me of some kind of videotape with all that slow-mo backward, showing you all the mistakes you made until the very moment of your death).

Another excellent point is the puzzle system, which can really test your abilities in fighting, time controlling and acrobatics.

Now, let's come to the negative points: first, there's a lack of upgrades (the only ones available are health and magic), then we have the repetitivity of the different fights (once you know by heart all the enemies' capabilities is way too easy for you to create and use the same old strategy).

In the end I recommend this game to those who love this kind of games, based on fighting, acrobatics and also intelligence for figuring out how to solve that damned puzzle which kept on blocking your gameplay for ages!
