Lackluster 3D Prince of Persia entry with acrobatic platforming and stiff combat. Awkward camera and level design dated even for its time. A minor entry in the franchise.

Is Prince of Persia - Arabian Nights still worth playing in 2026?
A late adaptation of the legendary 3D Prince of Persia, Arabian Nights carries on the licence's spirit of acrobatic platforming and deadly traps. Sadly, the port suffers from a fickle camera, imprecise controls and a subpar production, far from what the machine could offer. The series aura is not enough to redeem an execution already dated at launch. Today its interest mostly lies in being a curiosity for collectors or completist fans of the franchise.
