Adding to all of this is the ability to control time. Once you get into the game you will have to wear enemies down with your sword and then finish them off with your dagger. On top of this it is extremely easy to control. At first it feels like you control an acrobatic ninja with a sword. The fighting is as top notch as the rest of the game is. It is these segments that make up the bulk of the game and can prove to be very difficult in the last leg of the game. You will also find yourself swinging from ropes, walking on beams and much more. As mentioned earlier you can run on walls, which becomes a valuable tool throughout the entire game. And there are some extremely inventive ways of getting there. Upon entering areas you are shown where you need to get to in every room. The adventure part of the game is done extremely well. I don't think that there is any previous video gaming character that has climbed ladders faster than the Prince of Persia. Watching all of this in motion is unbelievable and better yet extremely fast. The Prince can run on walls, run up enemies, jump off walls, swing on poles, climb ladders at an amazing speed and so much more. Also, character animations are simply amazing. There are times when you just have to sit and stare at the game just to bask in how beautiful it looks. There is a soft lighting effect that also goes a long way with the game. Areas are massive at times and look stunning during the whole game. First and foremost are the wonderful graphics of this entire game. Now, on to the many positives of the game. However, you do get to unlock the two original Prince of Persia games to play after beating Sands of Time. The average run time through this game is around ten hours. Also, if you like your games long, than you might not particularly like this one. The game does a good job of attempting to clearly show you where to go - more on that in a bit. That said, the camera also has its strong points. Thankfully you have a first person camera mode that allows you to look around so you can quickly find what you were looking for. However, once you reach the midpoint of the game it gets harder to see the ledges you have to jump towards or switches you might have to pull. At first, there isn't too much of a problem. Now, a look at the bad since there are only a few minor issues within the game that can constantly irritate. Once you get past the first half of the game it becomes very humorous and adds a second story to the game.

A great positive of this character is the dialogue between her and the Prince. Farah also finds switches to pull which aids your progress further in the game. She fights along side you and you may occasionally have to save her, but nothing too serious. From that point on the gameplay can seem like the PS2's Ico, except for the fact that you don't have to walk her through the game.

The character also eventually teams up with Farah. Throughout the game you can rewind time, slow down time, speed up time, the power of destiny, and the power to delay enemies. After the 'tutorial' stage the meat of the game begins with obtaining the dagger of time which allows you to manipulate time in a different manner of ways. The Prince is engaging in his first battle and is constantly striving to prove his honor towards his father. This extends to when you save the game and even when you pause it, which I found very novel. The entire story is told from the Prince's point of view. Ubi Soft's Canadian studio has taken over the reins of this franchise and the result is a product more than worthy of the previous stellar titles in the series.
