Simplified and at the same time refined! A great game that manages to capture the essence of what games are all about!

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time almost feels like an old school game at times. Even though the game is 3D, there is a very singular path to how you get through the game. However, the game never makes you feel like you are trapped or confined. Similar to how WW2 FPS's (at least the gone ones), make you feel like you're in a big war on a huge battlefield when in reality the levels are not that big at all.

The control and smoothness of which you control the prince is superb. To the very last minute of the game, it is still fun to run across walls, perform acrobatics, and to dance your way around enemies during combat.

The audio is top-notch, the graphics are very much like the gameplay in that they at times are clean and simple, but upon further inspection, they are very refined and quite detailed.

This is a great game. Some say it's too short but it was perfect length for me, and the ending, like the rest of the game manages to be simple and yet at the same time satisfying, and when you realize the loop you just completed, you'll want to do it all over again.
