Prince Of Persia Classic Series Goes All
In Prince of Persia Classic, you’re a nameless protagonist known only as the Prince, whose job is to save the life of the sultan’s daughter from the evil vizier and take back the kingdom.The game is still a 2D platformer and you control the movement of the Prince using virtual joystick controls on the left. As an in-game text file included with the demo states: "It's like an Arabian Nights movie come to life. With you as the star!" The controls do take some getting used to, but they became standard for this sort of game, as also seen in the sequel Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame, as well as other later games like Blackthorne or Out of this World. The graphics are indeed very appealing, as the movements of the characters and other in-game elements feel like they have real weight to them.The Prince of Persia series goes all the way back in 1989, and has had a further ten releases since. The series is best recognized today for its action-adventure gameplay however, back in the late 80s and early 90s, it was known for inspiring the cinematic platforming genre.
What you get is the exact opposite of that.There is no precision in the movement of the character. Prince of Persia Classic is a 2D platforming game, where you will be doing a lot of jumping and climbing, so the movement of the character has to be precise to make the game enjoyable. It’s terrible and that mostly has to do with the controls and everything to do with the way the character generally moves. During combat, the keys switch to attack, defend and to sheathe the sword.Alright, now here’s the thing the game sucks.
You have to line him up perfectly under an edge for him to grab it, not easy when you consider the aforementioned lack of movement accuracy. The Prince’s moves are ridiculously limited, so he can only jump straight up when not moving. Half the time he just ends up running over an edge because he didn’t stop where you thought he would.Climbing up and down is even more frustrating. You can’t make him start running properly, you can’t make him stop when you want to.
With Prince of Persia Classic, it’s the opposite.You’ll die a lot, and I mean a lot in this game, and 9/10 times it’s the game’s fault. If you read our previous review of Rayman Jungle Run, you’ll remember I mentioned that if you die in that game, it’s because you did something wrong, not because there is something wrong with the game. You need an incredible amount of patience to play this game and you don’t even get properly rewarded for it.This slow, dim-witted movement and imprecise controls make it hard not to throw your phone or tablet out of the window while playing. There is no urgency in the movement and the animations feel lethargic, robbing the game of the energy and making the fairly short levels seem to drag on and on. Every action you do is followed by a slow, deliberate animation that makes you feel as if you’re watching the game in slow motion.
At first, a couple of swings of your sword would kill them. The enemy AI is pretty weird. You can choose to respawn instantly but that’s something you have to pay for using in-app purchases.When you’re not missing gaps and falling to your death as you pull out yet another chunk of hair from your head, you will be fighting against some enemies.
Prince Of Persia Classic Upgrade Over The
You have one section on screen and once you reach the end of it a new section appears on screen. This makes the game look only acceptable and nowhere near as great as some of the other 2D games we have seen recently, such as Rayman Jungle Run (also by Ubisoft) or Spirits.The game levels are split into multiple sections. The game looks decent but the visuals are blurry on the new iPad, suggestion the game is not running at native resolution. Graphics and SoundThe graphics received the biggest and the only upgrade over the original game. This sudden spike in difficulty comes out of nowhere and makes the game even more frustrating.
So you end up running straight into the pit as the next section appears on the screen.The story of the game is told through 3D cutscene videos that feature no dialogues and look tacky at best.There is not much of sound in the game. Also, you often have to make a jump right at the beginning of the next section, something you can’t see in the previous section. The switches between sections is jarring and breaks the flow of the game.
The Android version has DRM check that happens every time you start the game where it checks the game data to see if it is genuine.
