One of the action genre most well known and popular series is the Prince of Persia series. Having begun as a 2-D, side scrolling game for the PC, the Prince of Persia has become one of the most beloved characters in the game industry. Having followed his exploits and heroism for years, I am an avid fan, and the latest game in the series proves why that is.
The game is set between the first and second Prince of Persia games, and follows the Prince as he sets out for his brother Malik's kingdom. Having been sent there by his father to learn more about leadership from his brother, the Prince arrives to find the kingdom under attack by enemy forces, and Malik's army is taking heavy losses. By the time the Prince reaches his brother, his brother has decided to release an ancient army set in King Solomon tomb. When the Princes pleas to leave the army be go unheard, the army is released, first as glowing sand and then slowing become undead soldiers, the Prince must unite the seal that kept the army locked away for so long and destroy the undead army and its demon leader, before his brother and the entire kingdom are consumed by death.
Using new powers that the Prince has never seen before, players can not only turn back time, but can now solidify water, rebuild broken down buildings, and can teleport across vast distances. Using the third-person action element, the Prince must fight legions of the undead, while traveling across a vast palace and figuring out intricate puzzles that can further him in his quest. Players can also upgrade the Prince to help in his fight.
Overall, the game has proven to be the most realistic, most fun game in the series. With realistic settings, a rich plot, and an action filled adventure, the game has proven to be a front runner for game of the year. And included in the game is a challenge mode, which allows players to take the skills earned during the game and put them to the test. I give this game a 9 out of 10, and look forward to seeing what the series next turn will bring us.
