Everyone is in pursuit, and this is how the game starts. breaking free, the Prince leaps through the stained glass window onto the Palace rooftop. The real Prince (nobody recognises him now) is grabbed by the Sultan's guards and things suddenly start to look a little dicey. It's the Grand Vizier Jaffar, who's been up to his magic tricks again, having disguised himself as the Prince. One morning, the Prince enters the throne room and finds his place by the Princess's side taken by somebody else. The Plot: Having defeated Jaffar in the previous game, the Prince of Persia now really is the Prince of Persia, because he's married to the Princess. Loads of Palace Guards, Loads of Skelingtons, Loads of Weird Spinning Bitey Head Jobbies, Loads of Snakes, Loads of Traps, Literally Billions of Other Things.
The Cast: The Prince of Persia, The Grand Vizier Jaffar, The Sultan, The Princess, The Princess's Pet Mouse. The Addictiveness: Virtually unsurpassable, with a sense of urgency injected by a clock continuously ticking down, and a sense of danger injected by all the booby traps waiting for anyone who was moving too quickly. All animated perfectly, with loads of not too hard logic problems thrown in along the way. hauling yourself up onto ledges, lowering yourself down from ledges, grabbing hold of ledges after jumps which didn't quite come off, picking up potion bottles, drawing your sword, thrusting, parrying. The Interaction: And this is what made a good game an especially good game, because there were so many moves available: Walking, running, crouching, standing jumps, running jumps, jumping straight up. The Prince moved like a real Prince, the guards moved like real guards and the 'skelingtons' moved like the skelingtons from Jason and The Argonauts (seeing as real skelingtons don't actually move). The Animation: As I mentioned earlier, it was all taken from videotaped footage. Highly addictive, and a game which was worthy of the old cliche: 'Blimey guv, it's even better than the sum of its parts and no mistake.' (Because it was.) The Game: A very clever blend of platform game, maze game and beat 'em-up (or swordfight 'em-up if you want to be pedantic).
He had one hour to reach the top and save the Princess. The Prince (who wasn't actually a Prince yet, but I'll get to that later) had been thrown into the deep, deep dungeons of the same castle. She was locked up in the highest room in his castle. The Plot: The evil Jaffar had kidnapped the Princess and was intending to 'marry' her. Loads of 'Skelingtons', Loads of Traps, Several Other Things. The Grand Vizier Jaffar, The Princess, The Princess's Pet Mouse, Loads of Palace Guards. Okay then, here's a quick recap of the first game followed by a more in-depth view of the new one, outlining any differences along the way. Yes, I am rather running off at the mouth, and of course it's possible that you don't know anything about the original Prince of Persia. This latter move, however, can't be executed until the Prince has more than eight units of life, and, as in the first game, he only starts with three.

if the Prince moves quickly enough from side to side, his shadow comes away from his body, leaving him free to wander around (as the shadow) and explore otherwise inaccessible regions. New move number two is the 'shaking off his shadow' move. in certain circumstances the Prince can drop from his crouch position and snake along the ground (beneath any nastiness or through tunnels) at about one pico-metre an hour. In fact he's got two, come to think of it. But now it's not only his walk that's poncey, because he's got a new move to add to his collection. He's back, back, back! Yes the Prince with a slightly poncey walk is with us once again in the long awaited sequel. Yes, Prince of Persia was an award winning game. 'The devil knows all the best tunes, and this appears to be one of them.' said the Rev Jeremy Whitesnade of Hull. 'I was convinced I was actually watching a film in the cinema until I remembered I wasn't,' said Mr Gareth Plunk of Birmingham. 'It was so real I soiled my slacks,' said Mrs Glenys Thridwell of Sutton. Countless thousands of folk purchased the game without a moment's hesitation. Videotaped footage of a real bloke running, jumping, climbing and swordfighting, transformed into a fully animated computer sprite which, in turn, was scrunged into a platform game. In the beginning, of course, there was Prince of Persia 1 and 2, the people of the world saw that it was rather skill.
