The original 2-D Prince of Persia has always been acknowledged as the inspiration for the original
f1i Tomb Raider
f0i0 and it's easy to see why--it has the same mixture of running, jumping and platform climbing mixed in with tricky Indiana Jones-style puzzles and sword fights (though, okay, Lara prefers an AK47 to a scimitar). These days, however, there's one big difference between the Prince and La Croft:
f1i Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
f0i0 is miles better than
f1i Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness
f0i0 .
The game features some quite extraordinary graphics and animation as the prince leaps and jumps with amazing grace and makes a number of moves inspired by
f1i Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
f0i0 . The controls are a dream too, especially during combat, and even the camera system--usually the Achilles heel of any 3-D adventure--is great, zipping to a fixed position if it looks like any of the scenery is going to get in the way.
f1i The Sands of Time
f0i0 has a bunch of new ideas to add to the usual mix, most notably the chance to control time itself. Each of the demonic monsters you fight will spill a quantity of magical sand when they die and you can use this to power the dagger of time and rewind, slow down or fast-forward time. This allows you to instantly recover from unexpected deaths and allows you to concentrate on having fun and playing the game. Excellent stuff. --
