Prince of Persia: The Sands
of Time takes place in a mystical Middle Eastern setting, all bathed in soft,
warm light and looking like something straight out of a storybook. You play
as a young prince who possesses exceptional athletic and acrobatic skill. Early
on in the game, the prince steals the dagger of time, a treasure from a rival
nation, as a token for his father the king. When his nation's traitorous vizier
compels the prince to use the dagger to unlock another treasure, a huge hourglass,
everything goes wrong.
The sands from the hourglass
blow forth, enveloping the kingdom and turning its guardsmen and citizens into,
for lack of a better way to describe it, "sand zombies." The prince,
the vizier, and a young woman named Farah are among the only survivors. In the
prince's efforts to undo his mistake, he'll join forces with Farah, seek out
the hourglass, and confront the vizier. The game's story takes a backseat during
most of the game, but it is book ended nicely and is framed as the prince's
own retrospection. So, for instance, should the prince fall and die at a certain
point during the game, you'll hear him say, as narrator, something like, "No,
that's not how it happened." Not only is this an interesting technique,
but also it compels you to keep pressing on. You'll want to know exactly how
his complicated ordeal will unravel.
