"Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is a wonderful third person action adventure game. The graphics are amazing and smooth, the game play is excellent, and the soundtrack is like a great Cirque-du-Soleil soundtrack...beautiful but driving, mellow yet frenetic. This is mainly a puzzle solving game: you have to figure out how to get from here to there using a series of runs, jumps, wall runs, and other acrobatic moves. There is also an element of fighting but it's just the right amount. The environments in which you do your puzzle solving and fighting are grand and detailed. Such places include inside and outside a magnificent Persian Castle with courtyards and fountains and bedrooms and prisons. One unique element to this game is the ability to reverse time. If you die while trying to make a jump, for example, you just rewind and try again. Very useful. The storyline is also rather engrossing if you care about that sort of thing. The only drawback is that it is a little bit too short and some of the game play does become a tad repetitive. However, truly a great game. One of the best of the year. Perfect for a long weekend.
