God of War has better action and acting. Assassin's Creed has better physics and animations. This is somewhere in the clunky middle-ground. ...Or maybe this could be different.

So how long has this been in development? Is it rushed to be released with the movie? All these different reboots of the PoP-franchise is kinda offputting.

Is it me or does the Prince look like the retarded hell spawn of Fred Durst and Scott Stapp ? Good to see that Tim Curry still fits in his costume from Legend.

Man, the game keeps looking crappier and crappier. It's very clear that they put minimal effort into this, such a shame.

Can't keep track of Pop series now & they're starting to blur together in how they look. Pass.

I really really really do not like the Princes new voice actor. This game also seems far more like a movie cash in than an actual addition to the Prince of Persia series.

So... Prince of Persia: The Game: The Movie: The Game. Or does it really just *coincide* with the Disney/Bruckheimer (a truly vomit inducing combination) production.
 
Speaking of which, I'd really like to see what Mr. Davis says about that movie, from a gamers perspective, should he ever actually give TANG another run.

Gotta say, not a fan of the narrative in this trailer...The whole "only one man can stop me -- I am that man" thing seems overdone.

Can't believe how bad this game looks. Especially after the presentation in the last PoP game was so good.

I just saw a commercial for a POP: The Movie: The Lego Set. So if Traveler Tales made a game based on that what would it be called ?

Worst lines in a trailer?  Let's check: 
 
I will unleash...my power! 
I will change...my destiny! 
I am...the Prince of Persia! 
 
Pretty close I'd say.

The one thing that really depressed me about God of War 3 is that PoP totally deserves a game that good. But this isn't it :(

PoP games were always a definite day one purchase for me, not anymore though. Going back to this Prince is a mistake as that story should be left alone (although i can understand why they have done so it's tied in with the movie). It also looks pretty terrible...

It looks like it could be decent but the trailer is making me think otherwise. It's really a shame  since The Sands of Time was one of my favorite games from the last generation.

It's been in development for a year and a half so I don't think it's a movie-tie in.

The problem is having the release coincide with the film release. It was a good idea, but it backfired immensely. Too many people still believe one is based off the other (film or game).
 
The graphics aren't that amazing, but neither were GTA IV's. I guess nobody cared about that because it was a well-established franchise. To boot, it was actually a good game. Maybe people will turn their heads with this release as well. If it's good, word will hopefully get out. I'm putting some blind faith into this "Sands of Time" Prince of Persia.

 How does something like this happen? Like when this game was green lighted by folks at Ubisoft did no one stop and be like "hey guys this game looks really really crappy we cant make this game, it looks like a PS2 game, its 2010 for the love of God".

Not to mention the awful lines.
Everything about the game doesn't impress me. Even the sub title(I forget if thats name for it) looks and sounds bad.
