Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (Review)

Feb 15, 2006

Little over a year ago, the Prince was foppish, witty and charismatic. Now he's a witless cut-and-paste action hero with no discernible personality. Imagine remaking The Godfather, but having Steve Guttenburg play Michael Corleone. Or rewriting the Bible in jive talk. It cheapens the original in every respect. Typically, no one bought the first game. They saw the cover art, saw the pantaloons, and never even bothered to play it. To remedy this, Ubisoft dunked Warrior Within into the ...

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (Preview)

Nov 17, 2004

Time can be a right git. You can be stuck in a really boring geography lesson for what seems like hours then look at your watch and find you've only been there for 30 seconds. Gah! Time always catches up with you, and if you've been mucking around with it like the Prince of Persia, the payback's always going to be harsh.Which indeed it is. By meddling with time he's attracted the attention of a Dahaka - a monster sent to kill him in order to repair the rift in time he's created. And when we ...

Prince of Persia 2 (Feature)

Aug 2, 2004

"Even before Prince of Persia was finished, we sat down and discussed what needed improving and how we could make this game even better." This is what we were told by Yannis Mallat, producer of Prince of Persia 2, during a recent visit. Three main areas were identified by Ubi Soft's in-house developers and we caught up with the game to see just how those improvements are coming along on Xbox and PS2.In particular, Ubi Soft highlighted the fighting system, replay value and longevity and, lastly, ...

Prince of Persia 2: New screens (News)

Jun 18, 2004

Prince of Persia 2 is looking to take the first game's great looks and gameplay to new heights with its often subtle but significant tweaks. We have five new screenshots of the matured, gritty Prince in action.We loved the job Ubi Soft done with Prince of Persia - bringing it bang up to date but not loosing the essence of the original - and what we've seen up-close and personal of this sequel gives us confidence that it's going to be even better. Hopefully, this time around the gaming public ...

Prince of Darkness (Feature)

Jun 1, 2004

What would you do if you could turn back time? Fans of Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, whether paying punters or industry insiders, have been agonising over that question in recent months. Ubisoft's game generated a great deal of affection as it neared completion and then reached market last autumn, but that never quite seemed to translate into a tangible mass market presence and popularity. If expectations of an instant Vice City-sized cultural impact were a little extravagant, it's still ...

We were recently privy to a private screening of Prince of Persia 2 (working title) and what we've seen at E3 confirms our first impressions that the game has taken a very dark turn indeed.

The story revolves around the mistake the Prince made by breaking the hourglass in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. An incarnation of Fate is stalking the Prince so he embarks on a violent ...

Prince of Persia 2 - first shots and details (News)

May 7, 2004

In a market dominated by franchises and sequels, the slow-building commercial success of Prince of Persia (2.4 million copies and counting) was a heartening testimony to its - get this - quality gameplay.While far from perfect - we can pick holes in the camera, lack of bosses and somewhat patchy pacing for starters - Prince of Persia is still one of the very best console games you could pick, and easily the best adventure platformer of the last year. So imagine what a new combat system could ...

Prince of Persia 2 on its way (News)

Feb 4, 2004

Ubi Soft president Yves Guillemot has confirmed that a sequel to Prince of Persia is in the works. "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a resounding success for our group," he said in a financial statement.
