Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Walkthrough/FAQ)

The Sands of Time Walkthrough

Did you ever wish you could control time? Rewind time to undo all those small but embarrassing mistakes, fast forward to skip through all those long hours of waiting, freeze time so that you’ll be at work in time? Well, with this game, you can. Well, alright, it won’t help you in The Real Life, just in the game…but still, you’ll have the power to control time, even if it’s just virtual time.

This is second 3D version of the famous Prince of Persia series, and it’s also the only decent one. Ubisoft has done an awesome job with the camera, the controls, and the story. PoP:SoT is one of the coolest adventure games of 2004. Anyone who enjoys platform games, or beautiful masterpieces like Ico, will love this game.

Jump over pits, swing from bars, balance over beams, climb into ropes, kill dozens of lethal enemies. And should you make a mistake, you can just mash , and the Dagger of Time will rewind time, undoing your mistakes. Other time tricks include a slow-motion move and the infamous Mega-Freeze, one of the coolest looking moves in video game history.

But even with the power to control time at your fingertips, it’s not an easy game. That’s where this FAQ comes in. You will get a full walkthrough to help you whenever you’re stuck, and a lot of extra info. In other words: you can find everything you possibly want to know about PoP in this document. Enjoy.

Classic Prince of Persia comes to XBLA

Cover of Prince of Persia: ClassicAs you all should know by now, Prince of Persia is one of the oldest computer game series in existence with the very first Prince of Persia game making it’s debut in 1989.

The classic Prince of Persia game was in instant hit. The quality of animation was one of the best at the time and its game play and storyline, although seemingly repetitive, was interesting enough to captivate its audience.

Classic Prince of Persia is now making a resurgence in 2007 with its release on Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) on Wednesday, June 13, 2007.

The 2007 version of the classic game has been updated a little. Not to fret, the core game play and feel hasn’t been changed, only the graphics has been given a face lift. The game graphics is now in 3D, including the cut scenes, and the characters have been redrawn like The Sands of Time characters.

A pure classic mode with 2D is missing, but with the new 3D graphics, this is hardly missed.

Prince of Persia: Classic is available on XBLA for 800 Microsoft points (about $10 USD).

PoPF updated!

The long awaited web site update has finally happened! I’ve managed to scrape together a bit of time to spruce up PrinceofPersiaFan.com. It’s looking a lot better now with clearer sections and easier navigation to the PoP information you’re looking for.

The biggest improvement is the front page. Since the walkthrough for The Two Thrones is one of our most popular sections, I’ve made that section more prominent. There are also plans to add walkthroughs for Warrior Within and The Sands of Time but give me some time, I’m only one girl.

I noticed the movie poll comments had been getting a little out of hand and the page was taking longer and longer to load, so I’ve added paged comments to make reading comments easier and loading comments faster. There will be 25 comments per page, with new comments added to the first page.

Headings are also clearer. Using a rich gold colored font for headings breaks up the page better and draws your eyes to the sections that you may be interested in.

So what do you think? Any thoughts would be appreciated, just use the comment form below.
