In my quest for redemption...not even my death can stop me

In medieval Persia, Earth’s mightiest and most mysterious kingdom, a king and his son defeat the powerful Maharajah and kidnap his daughter, looting his palace of priceless treasure, including an extravagant hourglass, and a mysterious dagger.  What the Prince does not realize, is that these two objects can turn their possessor into an immortal god, and give him control over time itself. Tricked by a dying Vizier bent on harnessing this terrible magic for himself, the Prince releases the sands of time, destroying a kingdom and turning its populace into ferocious demons. Only the Prince, the Vizier, and Princess Farah, the kidnapped daughter of the Maharajah, remain unchanged. Now, it is up to the young Prince of Persia to call upon every resource and ounce of courage he possesses to save his kingdom and redeem his fatal mistake.

The Sands of Time is a strange and mystical force that allows players to seamlessly bend the fabrics of time, granting them a number of astounding powers.  In terms of gameplay, these powers grant The Prince the ability to fight harder, fight fearlessly, and fight with more strategic flexibility. 

There are five known powers of the Sands of Time:

• The Power of Revival: Face danger with the ability to journey back in time.
• The Power of Delay: Slow the passing of time
• The Power of Restraint: Freeze enemies in time, while you remain moving.
• The Power of Haste: Accelerate the passing of time and slash enemies at the speed of light
