This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands for PlayStation 3
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands combines acrobatics, combat and environmental puzzles in a palace overwhelmed by a supernatural disaster. The Prince wall-runs, leaps between beams and uses magical powers to make routes accessible. Timing remains important: the familiar rewind power can undo a mistake, while larger groups of enemies require movement, evasion and focused attacks.
The campaign alternates climbing, falls and combat without becoming an open world. On PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the Prince temporarily freezes water flows and later combines several elemental powers. The Wii version is a separate adventure with a different story, levels and motion-controlled actions. These differences matter, so features and scenes from the HD versions are not assigned to the Wii disc.
This PlayStation 3 release of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands was checked separately for controls, presentation and delivery. The product title determines whether a regular, budget or No Manual edition is supplied. Historical network features are not promised as available; the campaign and local content on the disc remain the core of this version.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
The manual is missing from this copy of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands for PlayStation 3. That is why the product title says “No Manual”. You receive the game in its box, without the instruction booklet. This makes the contents clear before you order.
The original printed manual usually contains at least English and often around six European languages. The languages vary by edition; Dutch is not always included. This information describes the original booklet and does not mean that it comes with this copy. A copy with a manual is offered separately when available.
The history of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
Ubisoft released The Forgotten Sands in May 2010 alongside the cinema film, but the game does not follow the film's plot. The HD campaign takes place between The Sands of Time and Warrior Within. The Prince visits his brother Malik's realm, where releasing a sealed army turns inhabitants into sand figures. Ubisoft Montreal made the main versions; the Wii adventure was developed separately and tells another story.
The game returned to the acrobatic style of the Sands of Time trilogy after the separate 2008 Prince of Persia. Combining rewind with frozen water made puzzles depend on sequences: freeze a flow, jump and release the power at the right moment. Original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 network functions ended on 11 November 2017. The complete campaign on the disc remains the basis.
