In a confusing move, Ubisoft created four different versions of The Forgotten Sands. While the iterations found on home consoles and PC are decent, the same cannot be said about the one released on the Nintendo DS.
A 2D side-scroller with forgettable levels and visuals that leave a lot to be desired, the DS's Forgotten Sands caters to its system's gimmicks by revolving its controls entirely around the stylus. The game suffers because of it.
In , Prince of Persia took its first stab at a 3D adventure and, for the most part, missed. Even if comparisons to the franchise's later adventures are ignored, Prince of Persia 3D stills falls short when measured alongside other games released during this era. To the game's credit, its environments are lavish and nice; unfortunately, the gameplay is frustrating even by standards.
For a series renowned for its tight controls and fluid movement, Prince of Persia 3D is stiff and clunky. The Dreamcast port is better than the PC version but not by much. The game tries to blend the 3D console experience with a side-scroller, an exercise that produces some positive results but is not wholly satisfying.
Ultimately, the PSP version is playable but forgettable, be it as a Prince of Persia title or a platformer on Sony's handheld system. Released concurrently with 's Prince of Persia reboot, The Fallen King is a serviceable handheld platformer held back by its stylus-centric controls.
Results may vary when it comes to the spin-off's redesigns of the characters, but the same cannot be said about the impressive backdrops. Unfortunately, the controls hinder rather than elevate the experience.
Although not quite as visually pleasing as the other version, the Wii's Forgotten Sands takes full advantage of the system's motion controls and stands out because of it. The Forgotten Sands is generally a solid game on any home console, even if it never quite manages to be anything more. After Prince of Persia's attempt at a reboot did not quite land, Ubisoft tried to steady the ship by bringing back The Sands of Time's protagonist and aesthetic.
The Forgotten Sands is a mechanically sound game that delivers an archetypal modern Prince of Persia experience, albeit one with a bit too much combat for its own good. It also feels like a reactionary title rather than an organic progression for the franchise. The Sands of Time trilogy originally came to a close with its safest entry.
