I remember playing this game and was smitten by how good and ahead of time this game was. Sands of time was also very enjoyable but I didn't play the new version.
OG Prince of Persia because of nostalgia playing on the Game Gear. It's not good enough to go back and play today, but it was quite different from the other games I had at the time and I enjoyed it.
Sands of Time wasn't bad, and is worth playing today.
It would make you the least patient, but "Prince of Persia: Lost Crown" is one of the best metroidvanias I've ever played. It is old enough now where it is on sale occasionally.
In terms of 3D prince of persias, then I'd say The Sands of Time probably. It's the most consistent and well-paced.
People love praising Warrior Within but I played it again recently and it doesn't hold up. Lots of backtracking, lots of confusing camera angles and a frustrating world to get around. Dahaka is very cool though.
I don't remember Two Thrones enough to comment on it, but I thought it was pretty good at the time.
Prince of Persia 2008 is my 2nd favorite and it still sucks that they never followed up on it. There's a lot of room for improvement but it was a great entry.
Loved the game, but boy were the save points badly placed.
I loved warrior within because it hit at exactly the right time for my dark teenager phase so the dark and broody prince and the dark and broody plot were perfect for me. Sands of time was so well done. I remember thinking how cool it was that the princess outfit changed as he went through the game.
The Sands of Time easily, simply just the most fun. Not too complex, easy on the eyes, fun gameplay and story.
I enjoyed the other two games in that trilogy, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones. Played them endlessly when I was younger.
Sands of time, because it was my first. The rewind mechanic was pretty damn cool
Prince of Persia 2008. I'm still upset there hasn't been a sequel. (The DS spin-off doesn't count)
I was hooked by the trailers (Trailer 1/Trailer 2), which had great music selections. I was also drawn to the art style and area designs and I thought the back-and-forth between Prince and Elika was well done. Even my sister, who is not a gamer by any stretch, saw me playing it and completed 3/4 of it by herself. Underrated gem.
I haven't played one since MS-DOS. I'm curious what people recommend!
For a game similar to the MS-DOS version The Rogue Prince of Persia is probably your best bet. I got The Lost Crown a few months ago but after hitting a wall and refusing to look up a walkthrough I've dropped it for a bit.
The Sands of Time is a classic, and basically a must play if you're a fan of the original.
The sequels to that can be left alone though.
Noted.
Prince of Persia, the reboot one is really pretty
