prince of persia the ghost of the past gameplay

The last Prince of Persia game released in 2008, featuring a new cast of characters, a new setting; Hell, it was just a completely different game in general. Despite the huge differences between each series, it was something fresh, even if it had a bunch of poor design decisions. The latest title, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands looks to bring the series back to its successful roots. Does it succeed in bringing the original series to this generation? Or should it remain a thing of the past?
