Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Game Boy Advance

One of computer gaming's biggest titles makes its return with the release of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The classic premise, which had players guiding a young prince through a trap-filled palace to save his beloved from marrying an evil vizier, has been reinvented as a side-scrolling action game with new traps and puzzles. The story begins with the titular prince tricked by a vizier into using a mystical dagger to release the Sands of Time from an hourglass. With the help of an ally, players must right this wrong by recapturing the Sands of Time before the deceitful vizier can harness its power.

To accomplish this feat, players must leap over pits, climb ledges, and engage in swordplay with a number of guards loyal to the corrupt ruler. Designed with a more action-oriented approach than the similarly titled console versions, The Sands of Time on Game Boy Advance offers additional acrobatics, such climbing ropes, flipping around poles, and somersaulting along the ground. As players delve deeper into the game, they will be able to find scrolls that grant their character new abilities. Borrowing a technique first seen in Blinx: The Time Sweeper on Xbox, the game allows players to manipulate the flow of time to correct missteps or mistakes made during the journey.
