Description

Set in a land rooted in ancient Persian mythology, the Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness: the God of Light, Ormazd versus his brother Ahriman, the destructive God of Darkness. The Prince arrives just in time to witness the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life - an act which threatens to plunge the entire world into eternal darkness. Manifested in the form of the Corruption, a dark substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the Prince must partner with Elika, a deadly companion, to heal the world from the evil Corruption.

Features:
  • A new hero emerges: Master the acrobatics, strategy and fighting tactics of the most agile warrior of all time. Grip fall down the face of a building, perform perfectly timed acrobatic combinations, swing over canyons, buildings and anything that is reachable. This new rogue warrior must utilize all of his new skills along with a whole new combat system to battle Ahriman's corrupted lieutenants to heal the land from the dark Corruption and restore the light.
  • A new epic journey begins: Escape to experience the new fantasy world of ancient Persia. Masterful storytelling and sprawling environments will deliver to action-adventure fans an experience that rivals even the best Hollywood movies.
  •  A new open world structure: A first for the Prince of Persia franchise - now you have the freedom to determine how the game evolves in this non-linear adventure. Players will decide how they unfold the storyline by choosing their path in the open-ended world.
  • Emergence of a deadly new ally: History's greatest ally is revealed in the form of Elika, a dynamic AI companion who joins the Prince in his fight to save the world. Gifted with magical powers, she interacts with the player in combat, acrobatics and puzzle-solving enabling the Prince to reach new heights of deadly high-flying artistry through special duo acrobatic moves or devastating fighting combo attacks.
  • All new for Next-Gen: The franchise's debut on next-generation consoles utilizes Ubisoft's proprietary Anvil engine, the same engine used to develop Assassins Creed.

Review by Tony on 12th December, 2008
"Fan or not, this is a MUST BUY!"
OK, i had some spare money, so i decided to just go into a games store and see what they had, eventually choosing Prince of Persia, i insert the disc into the drive, and it hasn't come out of the disc drive once since I've purchased it. The graphics are beautiful, the views are amazing!....I'm not a huge fan of the Prince of Persia series, but Ubisoft have done an absolutely terrific job with this game. The new POP game has the same game engine that was used for Assassins Creed, so you now have these awesome realistic physics under your belt. The story is actually well done, and is easily believable. The combat isn't the typical button-mashing stuff, but instead is rhythmic, and requires you to think smart, and have correct timing to string together some awesome looking combos. Each boss battle is unique to itself, and the developing bond that the Prince and Elika have always make you want to keep playing. The story roughly takes 16-20 hours to complete, and collecting the light orbs makes you want to replay the game all over again. The map is pretty big, and there are a few puzzles here and there that get you thinking. My only problem with this game would be the dialogue from the Prince. He comes off as an idiot, with almost nothing intelligent to say, and even though its not intelligent, most of the stuff he says isn't even humorous, which kind of makes you want to skip all the dialogue. If you're looking for a game to satisfy your gaming craving, whether you've liked the POP series or not, this game is one you all should try out. Its got beautifully designed graphics, pretty fast load times, unique combat, and an interesting storyline. Give this game a try.

"Great Game"
I have had this game for a while, graphics are outstanding; a bit of a cross between an oil painting & cartoon effect, very colorful. Gameplay is easy to get your head around for anyone new to Prince of Persia games, replay value is there. It's a game that once you pick up is hard to put down. Lots & lots of fun for all ages.

Review by myles on 9th January, 2009
"The Prince of Persia is back but is easier than ever."
A new Prince, A new world, A worse Game.

I found this game to be very boring and repetitive, the monsters you fight and the areas you roam in are all fairly the same the graphics are cell shaded (black outline) which are o.k if you are interested in cartoons. I think that the old prince of Persia series was better in almost every way, don't get me wrong this is still a great game (and the combat system is excellent.), but its missing something that made the old prince of Persia's great.

So if you are into games such as Naruto: Rise of the Ninja and love the Prince of Persia series don't hesitate to buy this game.
