Much has been said about the original Prince of Persia, but my favourite game is Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
This wasn't Prince of Persia's first foray into 3D. That honour goes to Prince of Persia 3D -- which, to be honest, wasn't very good.
Sands of Time *was* good, though. And it has incredible parkour elements that still holds up to this day. This is fun!
My first exposure to this game was on the GameCube. It was fine but I've always thought the controls were clunky.
As it turns out, though, Sands of Time controls much better with a keyboard and mouse. This is because mouse controls for camera are so much better on PC than on GameCube.
I wish Ubisoft would make games like this again!
