Edge considers the demise of Aladdin, as the Prince of Persia turns to the darkside second time around
What would you do if you could turn back time? Fans of Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, whether paying punters or industry insiders, have been agonising over that question in recent months. Ubisoft"s game generated a great deal of affection as it neared completion and then reached market last autumn, but that never quite seemed to translate into a tangible mass market presence and popularity. If expectations of an instant Vice City-sized cultural impact were a little extravagant, it"s still not difficult to appreciate why it was a game that people felt like rooting for.
Sands Of Time felt thrillingly modern, but alive to the fundamental importance of old-fashioned videogame adrenaline, too.
