The Sands of Time have infected him, and throughout the adventure you’ll involuntarily transform into a more dangerous, more arrogant prince. Things obviously aren’t going to be easy, and he’ll also have to contend with a dark version of himself. In The Two Thrones, the Sands of Time have been unleashed on Babylon and the prince must save his kingdom and its people. If you haven’t played the two previous games you’ll be a little confused by what’s going on as the game does little to bring new players up to date with previous goings on. It has made for a game that has moments of greatness, but often falls foul of the very puzzles that make the game what it is. Taking these criticisms on board, The Two Thrones brings back much of the acrobatic goodness that made the original such a cult hit and keeps the improved combat system of the second game. Warrior Within performed better in the charts, but its focus on combat and a hard rock soundtrack didn’t sit well with fans of the first game. Prince of Persia is content to skim the surface.Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia Sands of Time may well go down as one of the greatest games of this generation, and that proved to be a hard act to follow. The best video games challenge you to reach the next level.
What’s missing in Prince of Persia is a sense that all the running, jumping, climbing and fighting is leading to something.

The retro appeal of the movie is undeniable, recalling the Arabian Nights splendor of 1940’s The Thief of Bagdad.
PRINCE OF PERSIA SAND OF TIME REVIEW SERIES
Director Mike Newell, equally at home with comedy ( Four Weddings and a Funeral), drama ( Donnie Brasco) and franchise-polishing ( Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), tries to compensate by staging a rousing series of traps and escapes that keep the blood racing. There’s no Johnny Depp around as Jack Sparrow to twist the plot into perversely funny shapes. Sadly, nothing pops up to take us by surprise. Gyllenhaal’s roguish charm meshes nicely with the spirited sexual teasing of Arterton, who scored as a Bond girl too quickly dispatched in Quantum of Solace. Prince of Persia is too cozy and safe to excite the senses, though John Seale’s location shooting in Morocco is a sight to behold. When Dustan is falsely accused of murdering the king, the shit (or the PG-13 equivalent) hits the wind machine. Everyone wants it, including the king’s brother Nizam (Ben Kingsley) and Sheik Amar (a live-wire Alfred Molina), a master of the con and ostrich racing. Fantastical adventure trumps all as Dustan comes into the possession of a sand-filled dagger that can turn back time with a touch. The Iraq parallels in the script by Boaz Yakin, Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard are soon kicked to the curb. The plot congeals when Dustan and the Persian army are tricked into invading the city of Alamut, where the enemy is allegedly hiding weapons of what would then qualify as mass destruction.

So far, so giddy, as Gyllenhaal, trained in the free-running discipline of Parkour, has the acrobatic time of his life leaping up walls and parapets, stopping only to crack wise or flirt with the perky Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton). Jake Gyllenhaal and his newly developed abs star as Prince Dustan, a street kid of ancient Persia who is adopted by King Sharaman (Ronald Pickup) and raised as a brother to the king’s blood sons, Garsiv (Toby Kebbell) and Tus (Richard Coyle). Prince of Persia is bulimia-light on substance, but it’s quick on its feet and loaded with action and humor. So attention must be paid now that Bruckheimer has fixed his gaze on video games, in this case Jordan Mechner’s platform-based Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.Ĭan Bruckheimer succeed in a gamer world where Super Mario Bros., Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat and Max Payne fell on their digital asses? I wouldn’t bet against him. A near $3 billion gross for a trio of Pirates of the Caribbean epics forced the doubters to take their snark and suck it. They all laughed - hell, they pissed themselves – when producer Jerry Bruckheimer claimed he could turn a theme park into a cinematic golden goose.
