The Prince of Persia Games

[Del'aki]

I'm sure you've heard about Prince of Persia.

The prince of Persia Game series have been around since 1989. The first game was simply called, Prince of Persia, and featured some of the most advanced animations of that time..... Incredible, you could duck, jump, slide, kick, fight with a sword... the animations were extremely smooth considering the time of release.

In 1993 the second Prince of Persia Game was released. This was called Prince of Persia 2; The Shadow and the Flame. I don't know much about this version, so I'll just skip it .

After the 1993 release, brøderbund, who was the publisher of Prince of Persia, of unknown reasons decided to discontinue working on this title. It was first in 1999 the next game was released. This was Prince of Persia 3D. As the name suggests this was the first version of Prince of Persia, that actually featured a complete 3D invironment. I had a lot of fun with this game when I was younger, but unfortunately never beat it

In 2003 Ubisoft releases the next game in the Prince of Persia series. This being Prince of Persia; the Sands of Time. Where our young prince mistakenly opened the socalled "Sands of Time" and let loose a living hell. The actions in this game laid the foundations for the following 2 sequels to these games. This game was released for the PC, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, Game-Boy advanced and Mobile phones.

Prince of Persia; Warrior Within was released in 2004, and continued the story of our young princ'es journey. Having beaten the sands of time in the first game, he sets of to a "deserted" island, seeking to change his past, because he in the first game unleased an "immortal" monster, that now seeks to kill him. This monster was called the "The Guardian of the time-line" or Dehaka by name. This game was released for the PC, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and Mobile phones.

Prince of Persia; The Two Thrones, was released in 2005, and again continued the stories of our prince. Having defeated the Dehaka in the previous game, he travels back to his fathers kingdom. Persia. Here he sails to Babylon, the capitol of persia. As he arrives, he finds the city under siege by a mutated breed of sand monsters..... Here our prince is infected with the sands of time, and partially becomes a sand monster, gaining several unique abilities. Our Prince here fights to reclaim his throne, and liberate his people from this new foe. This game was released for the PC, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and Mobile phones.

The next game, Prince of Persia; Revelations was released in 2005 too, but only for the PsP.. I've got no idea, what the main story of this game is about.

Prince of Persia; Rival Swords, was released shortly after the release of the Nintendo Wii in 2006, for the wii and the PsP. Apart from that I don't know much about this game.

At last "The Battles of Prince of Persia", was released for the Nintendo DS. Details about this game are unknown to me.

With the introduction of Prince of Persia; The Sands of Time, a new combat fighting system, never seen before, saw daylight. Also the introduction of The Sands of Time, revolutionized what could be done graphically with games, being one of the most beautiful games of 2003. The combat system and graphics have undergone steady improvements during the release of new games.

Similar to all the prince of persia games, was the combination puzzle solving like game-play kinda like Tomb Raider, only a lot more fun, and the combination of combat and story. Said in short, I've ysed many hours in the world of Prince of Persia

The game series have also resulted in a movie based on prince of persia. Currently the movie is still in production, and I unfortunately don't have any ETA. on when it'll be released But I can't wait to see it, once it's released

Interesting. I never gave these games a shot, but with a Prince of Persia game coming for the Nintendo Wii, I might just give this series a shot.

Can't say if the Wii version will be any good, as I haven't heard / tried it But I really enjoyed all the other games

we had this old "prince of perisa" where it was 2d had 14 levels 1 hour of gameplay.That was because if you needed more then 1 hour the princess would die.You could jump fight with a sword go back and forward and climb.Was very funny and creative.Like in 1 level you create a mirror image of your self and lose half your life.In the last level it appears then if you fight it you die because you make the same moves.If you run into you you get your life back and then fight the boss.Last level is just doors to the princess ;D.

3d was fun too but you cant win the game.In the last level every time i tried it the princess got squashed by the machine.But "Ragnar",half human half tiger, was a great villain and the hole game graphic was great.enemy was the hardest the 10lp mummy that you actually didnt need to fight.My friend bet it without losing life.But the game was many times censored and then not again.

Now the new POP are i find not enough story just killing.Correct me with that point if you want.

Actually, As far as I've experienced, from both PoP 3d and the new PC versions (Sands of Time, Warrior Within and the Two Thrones) The new games have a better story than the old PoP 3d..... well atleast Sands of Time and The Two Thrones do.... Warrior within had a somewhat worse story, but definately not a bad story, just not as good as the two other games..... Actually I don't know many games, that are as fixed on the story as the PoP games (both the new and the old ones) and that is what I love with the series.. Combined with unique ways of movement, fighting techniques, acrobatics and so on, it makes an incredible game, which I enjoy very much

The next game, from the producer of PoP, will be Assassins Creed, and will take place during the dark ages, where crusaders went to Israel and the Middle east..... This game will feature most of what PoP featured, in means of manouvering around, fighting, using the environment for your advantage and such.... Alas I can't say much about the story, as it will first be released sometime near christmas this year.....

I have never played these games either I am thinking about trying them though. Cause I am always into a new challenge of a video game. It's nice to know there are video game fans in this forum.

[Del'aki]

Yep, good to know there are people on these boards who find video-games just as exciting as you do

[JSalinari83]

It sure is it sure is.

good game fun but for me got kinda boring shimmy into an area run on the wall kill a few guys exit and repeat.

Most of my friends love this game give it a shot and look for the next ones in the series.

This game is not going to hold up to assassins creed that is going to be released later this year or next year cant recall but it is a older game so it like comparing a ford tarus to a mustang.
