| | This PC version isn't a great deal more attractive than the PS2 version - though the resolution is sharper and the audio options include 5.1 Surround - both of which help further immerse the player into the Prince's fascinating world. | | | However, to make the game harder as it progresses just by adding extra creatures to fight is a flaw in it as with so many other games. | | | Indeed, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a rare beauty, and a testament to the ingenuity and attention to detail the developers have clearly lavished on the game. |
