Story
★★★★★
"Solid"
Chiselled Persian architecture, undulating fabrics and golden light: the adventure is steeped in a Thousand and One Nights tale of rare elegance. The acrobatic fluidity of the hero and the beauty of the settings compose an enchantment in motion. This art direction, refined and warm, elevates every leap and every ruin.
Signed by Steve Jablonsky, the music unfurls a broad, heroic orchestra that raises the Prince's acrobatics to the scale of a great film. Flamboyant brass and martial strings underline the urgency of the fights against the sand army. This cinematic breadth, punchy and polished, elevates the adventure from end to end.

Prince of Persia - The Forgotten Sands (PS3) price, value & rarity
A return to the Sands of Time universe by Ubisoft Montreal, The Forgotten Sands reconnects with the acrobatic platforming and time manipulation of the original trilogy. The Korean edition comes from a limited PS3 market, making it an uncommon pressing. Its collecting interest targets Prince of Persia series fans and collectors of Korean editions, the rarity being regional rather than driven by strong demand.
Is Prince of Persia - The Forgotten Sands still worth playing in 2026?
An Ubisoft action adventure, Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands reconnects with the spirit of the Sands of Time, blending fluid acrobatics, platform puzzles and time powers to freeze or rewind time, plus a new ice power. The verticality of the settings, the rhythm of movement and the staging appeal to fans of the original trilogy. The repetitive combat against hordes and a certain linearity temper the whole. An action adventure to recommend for fans of Prince of Persia and acrobatic platforming.
