BradyGames Releases Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time(tm) Guide

Reveals Survival and Redemption Tactics

INDIANAPOLIS - Nov. 5, 2003 - Time is a precious thing to waste. In Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time(tm) multi-platform game, players must be extremely sensitive to time, but more importantly, The Sands of Time. And with BradyGames' Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time(tm) Official Strategy Guide, gamers will be successful in maneuvering through this harrowing quest for redemption and gaining control of The Sands of Time.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time takes players back to medieval Persia, on the scorched sands of India's impressive deserts, where a young Prince and his father have raided the palace of a powerful Maharajah. In doing so, the Prince discovers an extravagant hourglass and a mysterious dagger, which have the ability to turn their possessor into an immortal god with control over time. The Prince unwittingly releases the Sands of Time, unleashing a deadly evil upon his kingdom. With the help of a seductive princess, the young Prince now must make amends to restore peace.

BradyGames' Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Official Strategy Guide helps players navigate through every area in the game unscathed with complete coverage of all tricks in the Prince's acrobatic arsenal. This exhaustive walkthrough also uncovers the best paths around every potentially dangerous trap. Additionally, gamers will have each Sand Creature's strengths and weaknesses and the appropriate moves to destroy each one.

The guide also offers three-dimensional maps that are supplemented by screenshots and comprehensive explanations. This new 3D approach - instead of the traditional top-down view - allows players to see the same intricate detail that's in the game.

As part of BradyGames' Signature Series, this guide provides expanded coverage and fan-focused content, such as a history of the acclaimed Prince of Persia franchise and character and enemy artwork from the Sands of Time game. Other special features, including a two-sided poster with an illustrated image of the palace on one side and the Prince on the other, are also included.

"Throughout our partnership with BradyGames, they've continually demonstrated that each guide is put together with our customers in mind," said Monika Madrid, non-retail sales and licensing manager for Ubisoft. "For example, with the Prince of Persia guide, the 3D maps provide a detailed view of every area, which is the type of help our customers want. And ideas like this are just one of the reasons we continue to partner with BradyGames."

The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Official Strategy Guide (ISBN 0-7440-0290-7) is available now at local electronics, book and software retailers for $14.99 US / $21.99 CAN. It also is available for purchase online at http://www.bradygames.com.
