UBISOFT BACK WITHTHE GAME THAT TIME FORGOT !!!!

GAME TO BE PLAYED

Okay, hands up if you thought this was going to be rubbish. We've got our hands up at the moment too, if you were wondering. Blame the fact that Ubisoft practically kicked pop out the door in a brown paper bag, or blame the fact that it's arriving dangerously close to Disney's Prince of Persia movie. Call us pessimists but this latest iteration in the long-running franchise virtually had 'quick movie cash-in' stamped all over it. Turns out our cynicism got the better of us, and - particularly if you're a fan of the series' pre-2008's PoP reboot - you should be very happy indeed.
According to Ubisoft, The Forgotten Sands takes place sometime during the seven years between beloved series classic Sands of Time and loud, growly, slightly less beloved The Warrior Within. In all honesty though, this latest PoP game sticks so doggedly to the template laid down in Sands of Time, you could easily mistake it for a hi-def remake in its opening hours. Just as in Jordan Mechner's last-gen classic, you arrive at the royal palace in the midst of war, battle spilling into the courtyards as you leap and climb toward the relative safety of the palace interior. There's even a calamitous supernatural event that threatens to bring about the land's destruction - this time as your brother unleashes Solomon's Army in a bid to turn the tide of battle.

Forgotten Sands is available on all major gaming platforms and is to "feature many of the fan-favorite elements from the original series as well as new gameplay innovations", according to a press release from Ubisoft. The  versions are developed separately and will feature different gameplay than the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows versions

While other versions of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands feature powers such as water or time manipulation to aid the player, the Wii version has its own unique set of powers: It features a "Spirit Hook", which serves as a grip which the player can deploy in certain areas on walls; a "Whirlwind", which acts like an Elevator the player can deploy in certain places on the ground; and a "Magic Sphere", which the player can deploy in midair to act a safety net, breaking the player's fall and suspending them there.prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands was released for the Wii on May 18, 2010 in North America, and May 20, 2010 in Europe.
