Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is an action adventure game that takes place in ancient Persia. In this Microsoft Xbox video game, King Shaman and his son, the Prince, conquer the Maharajah and take over the city. The duo then kidnaps Princess Farrah and an abundance of treasures, including the hourglass that contains the Sands of Time. An evil man named Vizier convinces the Prince to release the Sands of Time, and when he does, the entire city’s occupants are turned into evil monsters. Only King Shaman, the Prince, and Princess Farrah remain unchanged due to their possession of a special dagger, medallion, and staff. This game challenges the individual to assume the role of the Prince as he fights to save his kingdom. It has advanced graphics and animations. Players utilise the advanced skill set of aerobatics, fighting combinations, and the ability of the Prince to alter time. The environments change as the player advances through the adventure to highlight the mythical kingdoms and vast landscapes.
