Three Years Later: I finished The Sands of Time!
I finally completed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I got the game right after undergrad and played it almost to the end, and I stopped when I started at the ETC. Last year I had the chance to get further to the last part of the game, but I never finished it either. Today, I picked up where I left off and finally got to the end.
It’s weird how this has been really one of my favorite games ever and yet I never finished it until after three years. I know a lot of people who play games tend to do the same thing, and why is that? Is it because the game is so repetetive that we become burned out from playing more of the same over and over (only that it’s layed out differently and it’s more challenging?) or is it because it takes more than 2 hours to get complete the entire game?
I’d say the repetitiveness of the levels, because I had the same beef with Portal.
Oh, and fuck the P.o.P. sequels; I’m not playing/buying/stealing them. I’m not just interested in the franchise; I liked the Sands of Time because of the whole package, not because of the brand, nor Ubisoft. Maybe it’s because Jordan Mechner was involved in S.o.T. and under his guidance the team made an excellent and memorable game.
