In the midst of a land rooted in Persian mythology, the Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the forces of Good and Evil: the God of Light, Ormazd, against his brother Ahriman, the God of Evil and destruction. He becomes a witness to the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life - an act which threatens to plunge the world into darkness for eternity. A black substance called "The Corruption" begins to contaminate the ground and even the sky itself. Our heroic Prince, together with the enigmatic and dangerous Elika, must do all that he can to rid the world from this ultimate evil.
Featuring a re-imagined Prince and a beautiful cel-shaded world, Prince of Persia is chock full of the awesome acrobatics and free-form fighting that are the series’ hallmark. A huge, open world awaits you, intrepid adventurer. Will you be the one to cleanse the world of Ahriman's corruptive influence?
Non-linear gameplay in a detailed, open-ended world.
Masterful storytelling and lavish environments guarantee a cinematic action-adventure experience
Introducing Elika, a deadly and mysterious ally, who’s gifted with magical talents and dazzling acrobatic prowess.
While there are a few cool moments in this game (there's one boss fight that involves a bit of lateral thinking with the fall mechanics that gets a star all on its own) the storyline isn't half as engaging as the original game, and the combat isn't as fun as the third. If you're a diehard completionist go for it, but if you're new to the series just pick up Sands of Time.
Camera and controls in this game are your enemies as in most lazy console ports. Camera is moving all the time even if you do not touch you controls. But it does not stop you as this game is created for super casual players so every mistake is corrected by your partner as deus ex machina. Do not bother if you expect any player interaction. It feels like scripted movie.
It has a good story, admitted its worse than the previous games of the franchise, but still better than most of the newly published games in terms of story and interesting characters. Also it's design is quite nice but ultimately the fighting is nott that fun because you can't die, so it gets boring.But still a good buy.
I first played this game on an old Apple II, with a green monochrome screen. Also the original Karateka, made by the same guy (not development team, just one guy, J. Mischner) As I read the other reviews, obviously younger people have absolutely no idea how much this stood above everything else: these games competed with Ms. Pac-Man, Defender and Space Invaders. It has a stereotypical "Alladin" type background, but of course! But saying this is racist is sort of like saying Ms. Pac-man was racist. For an 80s game, this was rich in character development! Now, of course my review is in danger of being a "get off my lawn" rant, but seriously if you don't remember playing this game, or perhaps are a beginner game coder yourself, save your money. Can't say it's a Boomer thing, because Boomers didn't have videogames at all, whippersnappers! Also, those of us who've downloaded a previous "free version" have run across game spam. You gotta pay at least a couple of bucks to avoid that, which I am grateful for. But really when I see complaints of "no DLC" in a game over 25 years old, I just don't think you're capable of appreciating this. Now get off my lawn!
