Ubisoft has released another trailer for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, which is slated for release on May 18, 2010.

Ubisoft sent me the following information on the game, as well as this new trailer, which I have uploaded for your viewing.

From Ubi:

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is the next chapter in the fan-favorite Sands of Time universe. Visiting his brother’s kingdom following his adventure in Azad, the Prince finds the royal palace under siege from a mighty army bent on its destruction. When the decision is made to use the ancient power of the Sand in a desperate gamble to save the kingdom from total annihilation, the Prince will embark on an epic adventure in which he will learn to bear the mantle of true leadership, and discover that great power often comes with a great cost.

The game will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

“The destiny of a kingdom lies in you…”

That pretty much sums up the entire point of this game sequel. It looks like the graphics have improved from the last major U.S. release (Prince of Persia), not that they were all that bad from the last release. Still, I have to admit I’m almost more excited about this game, than I was the 2008 release of Prince of Persia. The only thing I worry about is that there seems to be quite a few powers.

I didn’t find the last game all that challenging because Prince didn’t seem to be as kick ass as he’s been in past versions, but the gameplay was also far easier. Now, he looks bad ass again, but if there are too many powers, the game will again be too easy and not the least bit challenging. Here’s hoping Ubi has enhanced gameplay to offer a challenge, but still offers some fun abilities that don’t require 2 hours of jumping walls with little to no additional actions.

Anyhow, that’s my two cents on the trailer and my experience with Prince of Persia. You can make your own assessment from the trailer posted below:
