Despite Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands being a reboot of a franchise we already thought was rebooted in 2008, this game looks kind of awesome. The PS2 Prince Of Persia games were already great for their time, and a little bit more of that really can't do any harm.

And that's exactly what this latest gameplay trailer is hinting at. A little more of that PS2-era Prince Of Persia. Sure it's a tie-in with the upcoming movie, but Ubisoft rarely do things by half measures, and we expect an enjoyable ride at the very least.

So yes, we'll be buying Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. And we're even considering the Collector's Edition, which is detailed after the jump.

Ubisoft's just sent us word of the Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands' collector's edition. From the horse's mouth:
