Slammed the door and entered a nurse, wound up to the limit. It was evident that she could barely restrained so as not to fall into hysterics.
-All Doctor - I can not go!

A doctor, well, how much can you! Why me all the time crazies come across? Do not have time to be born - and everything there is ...
Breathe, honey, breathe ... and more detail, please.
A doctor - our newborn did not have time to be born and already claims that he is a true "Prince of Persia! Can you imagine?!
-Khe-Khe, darling - but then we all know - that this can not be! Of these princes were just two - and they were born almost 13 years ago. I even remember very well their dad - Jordan Mechner, for-a-soul man is remarkable! I remember when these princes so much time spent ... yeah-ah .... adorable kids were .... Then about 4 years ago was one such - beat his butt to the chest, right ashes sprinkled not - said that he had something and have a real prince, with a terrible nickname - 3D. So what? Do you know where is he now? That's the same ...
"But the doctor - this kid said that in his conception of just took an active part Jordan Mechne ..
-What are you talking about?! Where's my valeryanochka? ... so to breathe, breathe .. Come on, Come on .. Let's go, look ... I have already a scalpel in his hand trembled .. You're not joking ..
-What here doctor jokes ... Come on - her eyes look at this wonder ... - The nurse and sobbed, pulling from his pocket and handed me a gauze bandage.
-Et-r else what?
-There is very dusty doctor, and how to go down - at once deep pass, and then the kid runs around the walls .. sand and throws ... Slap this baby ...
I was looking for enjoyment, but what I found

Abul-Amax

 | Wrong was the one who said - all the evils in the world for women! All the troubles, as practice shows, from the love of men for beautiful toys. Especially if it's cold arms. And especially when walking in a head wind ... And now the wind walk, not only in his head - and throughout the kingdom. Wind roam the deserted houses, looking at the most secluded spots, but almost no one caught. Only clubs golden-yellow dust rise and slowly fall to the ground, gleaming in the rays of the setting sun. |
How many "if not" flashed in my head ... If it had not taken that knife ... If it were not for those hourglass that dragged loyal soldiers ... if not obeyed Vizier .... Well, it must pay for everything. More so for his foolishness. And well, if all of these debacles, there exists a person who can support you in word and deed. Suppose this is even a man like a viper Princess Farah, miraculously surviving and trying to get back at me at first for their kidnapping and the destruction of her empire ...
Now what?
Dust at your door - antimony to the eye.
Where can I find out? Where the path of another?
Ahead of only the corridors, rooms, mazes of the palace, filled with deadly traps, wells poisoned with thorns and evil beings - the sand poured out of the time clock did not spare anyone. All of which touched the sand, filled with evil.All lived in this beautiful palace turned into horrible monsters. Everything - except the vizier. The heart of this man is so rotten - that he could not draw even sand. Poor, poor father! Where were our eyes when a snake was lying at the heart?
No - it should return to their seats! Time is to blame - hence must atone. Even at the cost of his life.
I am ready to die without fear of encounter,
Mademoiselle would not be better there than here - who knows?
Life term given to me. Verne willingly
When it's time to come back.
Well, the sword in your hand forward to meet danger! Time, as they say, is not waiting .. Time, as it turned out, can wait ...
Harsh realities of the day ...
I was not expecting this game, honestly did not expect. Did not expect as much as waiting for Max Payne 2. And exactly as it was my admiration for this game as a disappointment in the second part of the adventures Maksika. And it especially after the memorable and terrible "buggy" Prince of Persia 3D to get the product of this quality - simply stunning. So, we have a game released simultaneously on five gaming platforms:
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Two words for the veterans of this game - it's him! A wholly owned, native, full-blooded Prince of Persia. Behind all this tinsel 3D, jumps, stunts, Slo-mo - is hiding is the same game that gave us sleepless nights trying to walk the labyrinth, that, in the end be near her. Princess. Now suppose that another story - the game is only benefited. Indeed the sands of time moved us into the past ...
Now for those of you who missed the event thirteen years ago. Very briefly: the basic meaning of the game - passing levels, which are separate rooms of the castle, the solution of puzzles and battles with opponents. But what lies behind this? A Behind this game ineffable appeal of its story of a prince who created the "Big Badabum" with his kingdom. Realizing him committed, he is everything to fix it. Ahead of his adventures are waiting for the perfectly elaborated the castle, and at first entry into the room the camera makes a slight digression, showing the way ahead, and attentive viewers will find clues to facilitate the passage level. To all of this is attached riot of special effects, incredible stunts, which the protagonist carries out almost with your eyes closed. And the game is structured in such a way that the passage of some of the rooms have full swing to use tryukacheskie ability prince. Abilities, by the way, as far as passing is becoming more and more. So that a continuous drive is provided.
- Want to hack enemy with repulsion from the walls? Please!
- Do you want to run into the enemy on the shoulders, push, make the jump and hit him in the fall of his blade? Easy!
- Do you dream in the beginning to paralyze the enemy, and then mock immobilized? No question! Dagger in hand - a debilitating stroke and can only finish adversary.
- Slo-mo ala Enter the Matrix or Max Payne? To your health!
- Made a mistake and fall into the trap? Recall that in our hands a magic dagger, able to manage time. Unrolling time by 10 seconds back and fix the mistake. Super!
Only a long way - there is no death!
Flame flower - bright red light
Sparks torn up - sprinkle of amber.
His shortest way I was not in vain ...
However, it is worth considering that in all worth paying for - a magical sand is not infinite. Using unique stunts, spending precious substance. You can make up for it during the fight with the monsters, which instead is so beloved by many players krovushki flows in the veins of much-needed sand.Hmm, who said Enter Sandman?
- You are a lover of charismatic heroes? Them we have!
Magnificent study the characters - the prince, a princess (as ridiculous happened to be the daughter of the chief villain) and the vizier, as well as their interaction. You can admire the scene repeatedly bickering princes and princesses. Witty and always out of place jokes, jokes, sarcastic remarks nearest fellow member, which in contrast to ICO, fairly independent girl:). With a bow and arrow, she alone can deal with multiple enemies - the main thing it does not interfere. But still - worthless girl to trust man's job, and do not always get her to cope with the situation, so that quite often you have to save her from the crowd of bloodthirsty monsters. Yet the main task of a companion did not fight - it will get into places where our slightly overinflated Prince get physically unable.
Protection system is organized in a standard way: during the game will be encountered places that offer to save the game, as well as automatic save when passing checkpoints. Both are not common, which is logical if you remember about the ability of a dagger wind off time. Health is restored by drinking a little water (just remember - "do not drink Ivanushka - a kid will become";) from the sources periodically occurring in the cultural and entertainment campaign against the forces of evil.
Meet on clothes ...
Oh, round dimple in his chin!
Where is the trap? Where a steel trap?
Eastern poet.
After the magnificent Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Jak II begin to think about the limit of graphic possibilities PS2. One would have all - will not be prettier. But after seeing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - I realized that I was wrong. Enough!
The game has excellent spetsefektov - damn cool realized reflection in the water, the dusty corridors of the castle, the shining sun, a flame torch. Add to this the plethora of commercials, good elaboration of the premises, which is second only in part connected with each other attractive ICO. It is not necessary to read - it's a better view. The only thing you can complain - to inadequate attention to character models. Add to them a hundred or polygons, and the game would have shone brighter colors. The good news is that the lack of polygons is compensated by the incomparable animation. Sense the hand of masters. Remember the distinctive feature of the first games in the series? Unmatched at the time character animation. So - this time the same thing. Such elaboration of plastic movements did not occur to me yet in one game. Bravo creators!
Sound filling a little inferior to graphic design, but, nevertheless, very, very badsome. Beautifully voiced characters in the game, good music - a mix of Eastern melodies with instrumental hard rock, and very good vocals.
Has become commonplace in recent years to spoil a great game a bad camera work or a completely awkward controls. But this game, in my opinion, managed to escape this fate. Very, very few complaints as the work of the auto-camera and on the management itself. Sometimes, of course, that the auto-camera selects a bad angle - but this is easily corrected by manual adjustment. But trust me - it is needed very rarely. For all of the game (it later) it had to do a few times - there are incidents when you run between the columns.
.. And was escorted to the mind
And in conclusion, I would dilute the barrel of honey.
No matter how I be discriminated against in this game - but it has drawbacks.But believe me, this is not the same disadvantages that negate all the good feeling, playing Prince of Persia. Thus, the disadvantages are:
1. Drop framerate on the PS2 is less than 30 staff - most notably when a lot of enemies. This is the most significant negative;
2. Short time through the game - a little over 10 hours.
3. Underestimated the complexity of the game - in the presence of the prince has vseotrazhayuschy block, the only impact that it breaks - a blow to the legs. Perform its burly, dressed in armor, and they appear only after the middle game;
4. Enemy AI, though adapted to operate a command against a player, a special congeniality does not shine, though sometimes the nerves can pull:)
5. Repleyabiliti the game is very low. Playing through linear and puzzles to solve only interesting the first time.
6. Not really good use of music. In the battle would be better to look more dynamic melodies. As a consolation offered a great soundtrack, partially compensating for this deficiency.
That's all the disadvantages that were seen. And you can add to the pluses for hidden games - the original Prince of Persia.
And the version of the hidden game for the PS2 and Xbox are different. On the Xbox - it's Prince of Persia 2.
On the plus version of the Xbox game is worth carrying a steady framerate, more vibrant colors and detailed visual effects.
And these things finish the story I would like to note, lyric, poetry eastern poet Abu Nuwas. Believe me - these lines, more than ever coming to this game!
Friends came to me
blissful time:
came very desirable,
remained until morning.
She came in the evening,
and I tasted myself
What joy is not just
she presented to you.
But the familiar path you
I am to go -
looking for a pearl in the grass
seek and find.
And, really, can not be compared with her
in the world, no
pearl - the beauty of the seas
extracted from the bottom.
Leaves per day, decreases the heat.
Desired come
until morning with me, with me -
for hours on end!
