While Sands of Time is one of my favorite games, I've avoided its main sequels due to their brutal violence and risque attire (well, even more risque attire); the pre-sequel The Forgotten Sands, however, scratches that Prince of Persia itch for me. The story may be unambitious, recycling a lot of ideas from Sands of Time, but it's engaging enough; the horde-based combat often lacks challenge, but the platforming sections and the inventive mechanics used to traverse them make up for that. While it's a fairly fluffy experience, I can picture myself revisiting it. Also, it can't be a coincidence that the Prince's brother looks kind of like Jake Gyllenhaal.
