Andrew Fletcher twiddles his way through Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (GBA Version), and announces:
"Its delicate pacing and knife-edge precision marked it out (then, as now) as a platform game of singular grace and refinement. Last year's acclaimed console update, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, impressively transposed that grace and refinement into a mostly faithful 3D adventure, but the anxious chicken steps of the 2D original had been replaced by swift, safety-net gaming. So my personal hope for this side-scrolling GameBoy Advance companion (to the "proper" Sands of Time) was that it might re-affirm the drama and accuracy of that platform gameplay that first established the series fifteen years ago. It would appear I was hoping for too much."
