YMMV / Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

• Broken Base:
  • Fans of the 2008 reboot were disappointed to learn that the next PoP game would be another title set in the Sands of Time continuity rather than a followup on the 2008 game's infamous cliffhanger, though others were glad that Ubisoft was even giving the series the time of day ever since Assassin's Creed became Ubi's new Cash-Cow Franchise.
  • Some fans debate on which Forgotten Sands game is better, though mostly centered around the HD version (released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC) and Wii version. Some prefer the HD version for bringing back the time powers, in addition to powers based around the use of the elements, and for higher resolution graphics. Others prefer the Wii version for featuring a "more unique" power (control over sand itself), a more interesting world to explore, and even prefer the lower resolution graphics of the Wii version as it runs off the same engine the other games in the Sands of Time continuity ran off of.
• Complete Monster (PSP version): Ahihud is the mightiest of the fire spirits, who feared death and thus relentlessly seeks true immortality. To become unkillable, Ahihud invaded an ancient kingdom, made from the blood of a fallen God who created the concept of time, and enslaved the daughters of a God, the Sisters of Time, while brainwashing and transforming all denizens of a kingdom into his personal demonic servants, who worship him as a God. Beginning to drain an elixir from the kingdom, which was its very essence, Ahihud ordered his assassin to start murdering all the royals of Persia, after he heard a prophecy that one of them would kill him in the future.
• Genius Bonus: The Forgotten Sands contains several references to King Solomon that seem enormously out of place if you only know him from The Bible. However, in both Jewish and Islamic mythologies, Solomon was a powerful sorcerer.
