I have one word for this game...awesome. This game has everything packed into a power punch of um...sand action!
This game can screw with your head. It can make you break your controller against the ps2. Ain't it great? This game is pretty much one giant puzzle with some in your face stabbin sand monster fun! In the beginning,the puzzles are pretty simple, move there, move there, and you're done. But as the game progresses it makes you think quite a bit (Dull minded beware).
The graphics are very good. The cinematic scenes are have some great graphics and the in-game graphics just slightly less quality. Definitely something to mention.
For the characters. You are aided by a skinny chick with a bow that goes into every crack she sees...hrm..(gotta play the game and see) and you are a Persian dude with a scimtar and a sand dagger thing. Perfect instruments to kill those darned sand monsters.
The plot is fairly simple. Evil sorcerer guy opens up the sands of time, take him down, fall for the girl, you know,the usual.
This is pretty much the game. Solve puzzles and fight stuff. Its way better than it sounds. So go out and buy this game ;)
