Prince of Persia – Flash Sands of Time

Earlier today I stumbled upon this viral marketing flash game for Ubisoft’s 2003 masterpiece “Prince of Persia – The Sands of Time“.

Viral ads are usually fun for all of 30 seconds, but this one is different. It’s a mini-game in which you must guide our hero to stop the evil Vizier from releasing the Sands of Time.

There’s an eight minute time limit in which to accomplish your task, so you’d better haul some ass if you’re to succeed.

So you see, this viral ad is 16 times more fun than your average ad! Unfortunately I’ve always been cack at the old style Prince of Persia games, so I can’t tell you much about the game. In fact it took an earth-shattering two minutes and twenty six seconds before I was cloven in twain:

Regular service to resume shortly. And that includes swearing.
