Prince of Persia: Hands on preview

[hatter]

We’ve had some secret concerns about the upcoming Prince of Persia game from Ubisoft lately, so we’ve been waiting until we’ve been hands-on with the game before we really started to make up our minds about it.

And now we have been hands-on. And the news is good.

The worrying thing about the new Prince of Persia was that it looks such a massively different game from the previous trilogy of titles. On the surface, yes it’s still a super-slick platformer, but a lot of the presentation and gameplay mechanics have been tweaked beyond recognition.

Plus, the storyline has been utterly remade and redone. Considering one of the main strengths of the previous Sands of Time trilogy was the plot, making a new story (with no Dagger o’ Time, no less) is a pretty gutsy move.

The combat in Prince of Persia is now much more about one-on-one battles than carving your way through thronged masses. Ahriman may be a god, but his power isn’t yet absolute and while he struggles to rectify that you’ll have to face off against his few servants. They are tough, twisted and tricky, so each battle is like an cage mage; you’ll rely on your ability to read your opponent and counter his blows before they land. Button mashing isn’t going to help.

Great, this is going to be a good challenge

Waiting to get my hands on this game. Hope to pre-order this one.

is it releasing simulataneously with pc?

Don't you think you should really read the article, that someone took pains to write and someone took pains to provide link in post?

It's written in the article :

Prince of Persia is out December this year on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. There's also a DS version coming out too, called Prince of Persia: The Fallen King.
