Split: The Forgotten Sands.

I think the game needs two versions: One for the 360/PS3 and one for the Wii since both have completely different storylines, gameplay and other things. They are only the same in the name; nothing else.

Hmm I'm  not sure about this one....it seems most of the gameplay differences are only due to the use of the wiimote....but if the story is completely different...I really don't know about this one.

"I bought Forgotten Sands for PS3 and really enjoyed it, but hearing that the Wii version has a different story, setting, and powers than the other console versions, I'm intrigued by the idea of immediately jumping into a new console PoP experience."

Those are just people who heard that the story is different. Do we have any evidence that the story is different, or just hearsay?

I've played the Wii game (I own a Wii and the game) and it is nothing like the 360/PS3 game. Nothing at all alike.
 
Just youtube videos for each game and see for yourself.

I'm going to go with no on this one.

Justify your reason please.
 
It's plain as day to see that these are two completely different games. My guess is you haven't even played them.

It's not plain as day to me because you haven't actually stated how they're different. I'm not going to watch a video. I've watched far too many videos this month, and my ISP is going to break my legs if I watch any more.

Plus, there isn't going to be a page created for every single Wii version of a game based on the fact that it plays differently. Different versions of the same game will play differently; we need to know that these are legitimately different games, not two versions of the same game. From what I've seen/read, this is the latter case.

Jesus Christ you guys are dense as oil.
 
The game is entirely different.
Different gameplay.
Different setting.
Different levels.
Different story.
 
Only the name is the same.

Wow, people are really picky today. I am here to confirm that the stories are different.
 
The story in the Wii version is about the Prince getting his own kingdom through a trick, but then the kingdom is full of creatures so he must cleanse his belonging.

I watched some videos of both, and I'm sticking with my previous thought that this is just a case of two different versions of the same game. While there may be other differences, like the story and the way the game is controlled (which is natural, considering the nature of the Wii), it really looks like they're both based on the same movie... which they are.
 
If this game really does need to be split it apart, it also means that the literally hundreds of Wii and handheld ports of movie games (not limited to this, but it's an example) should all be separated into different pages, which I find to be a completely unnecessary change.

You need proof the stories are different. Someone needs to play both and tell us.

Plus its a Wii you accepted there would be some amount of changes because of it being...err..I am not sure what to call it without offending someone.

I think you are having a mentally challenged day. :P
 
Let me be perfectly clear: I've played both games and they are nothing alike.

/facepalm "

What is everyone's problem the last couple days? So grouchy...

Haaa i love it when these things happen. The rules should really be clearly defined for this stuff. I see no reason for these two games not two be split into two pages, take my opinion for what you like.

" @papuccino1: Based on the videos I watched... there's a lot more in common than the game title. You said the setting was different, but it really isn't. They both appear to take place in an Arabian setting, with similar third-person action. They may control differently, but they looked pretty similar to me. "

Question, what's stopping people from actually noting the differences between the HD and Wii platform versions of the game on the one page? What's stopping folks from explaining how the Wii game differs and what exactly does it do differently?
 
Also someone explain in clear bullet points with some actual evidence what the major differences are between versions so I can review whether a split is needed or not.
 
Otherwise I don't want to see any further bitching about this. You now have a mod willing to sit down and discuss this, so lets discuss and stop arguing :)

In the Wii version of the game, the Prince wields three new powers: a Sand Ring, serving as a wall grip to ascend areas where there are no ledges or grips; a pillar to get higher; and a protection sphere to avoid falling or getting caught in traps. These three magical sand powers serve both in navigation sequences, during combat and also to solve puzzles. The source of these three new powers is a magical phial discovered by the prince. Later in the game, the challenges force the player to combine all of the three powers. With time, the powers will be found to have more than one specific usage; according to Nintendo Power, the Sand Ring will also serve to activate some special power crystals .

Combat in the Wii version makes use of the Wii's motion sensing capabilities. A flick of the Wii Remote will swing the Prince's sword, and the same gesture with the Nunchuk will make him throw a punch. The rest of his combat moves (like rolling, blocking, etc.) simply uses buttons, as the developers didn't want to make the game exhausting by overusing motion controls. According to Nintendo Power, the swordplay does feel similar to the previous installments. From time to time, certain foes will have a blue aura surrounding them, meaning he is the "leader" of the group of enemies; bringing the player to the use of some strategy: if you kill the leader, the other enemies will flee instantly. Using a Sand Ring on an enemy will freeze him for a brief period of time.

The Wii version also features cooperative multiplayer gameplay and includes the Super NES version of the original Prince of Persia.

Well look who came crawling back. "

 The Wii version of Prince of Persia the forgotten sand has nothing to do with the PS3/360 version at all (in terms of characters and story) and that's actually a good thing that Ubisoft created a different game than trying to cram the PS3/360 version into the Wii version

Thanks for the warm welcome back? "

Man, people in this thread are dense.

The Wii version now has a new page. Check it out here and fill it in! 
 
Googling alongside reading what was presented in this topic genuinely does paint a picture that the Wii version is a totally different enough experience to be considered a different game to the alternative versions of the game on offer.
