"Running across walls and performing acrobatic flips to new heights was the reason why gamers were instantly hooked. From beginning till the end, The Sands of Time was a gorgeous game to see in motion. The character art stood out above the rest of the sequels due to the personality that Mechner and the development team provided for The Sands of Time.
Add in the wonderful time-manipulation and breathtaking environments, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was a 'Tour de France' of gaming excellence."

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Over the past few weeks we have been talking a lot about video remakes. Which are great, which are bad and whether or not the industry as a whole is better off with or without them. Well today it all comes to a head as we count down the Top 10 games that we would love to see remade! Some of these are classic gems, that are still perfectly playable today while others are games that could definitely use some sprucing up to fix nagging issues that have kept them from reaching the next level but the one thing they all have in common is that we would love these classics to get a fresh coat of paint."
Would I like remakes for most of those games on the list? Sure.
Do I trust any of the companies which own those IPs, to make anything even remotely worthy of the original? Not a f****n chance.
Except maybe Zelda II and Kid Icarus for obvious reasons.
Red alert or red alert 2 remakes would be amazing but they aren't going to happen as EA completely ruined the franchise. Even if EA decided to remake it, it would have microtransactions and probably have mobile construction yards or something stupid like CNC4 did.
EA ruined this franchise and its a damn shame... We won't see it ever again unless they make a mobile game out of it full of microtransaction goodness.
Check out the price of some of the original Xbox backwards compatible games.
Glad I still own my original games, not all of them but a few from the list already
As an avid Xbox fan, this is great BUT I wish they would start putting this much effort into new exclusive AAA games. This is a fair criticism and if we keep just accepting old games and new hardware we will keep getting the same.
IMO You could make a strong case for this as being in the top five. SoT is a truly transcendent gaming experience.
This was one of my fav games for the Gamecube. Seeing the jaw-dropping acrobatics in this game alone made it worth playing
Since this was one my guesses for the Top 5, I am very curious to know what actually made the cut.
Yep, i remember first time I saw it, it was amazing.
Great game, holds up pretty well, but was kind of short and lacked any real incentives for replay from what I could tell. Still, just finished again recently, and now on to Warrior Within.
