A remake of the first Prince of Persia, the player controls The Prince as he attempts to save The Princess from the wicked Grand Vizier Jaffar.

Overview

Prince of Persia Classic is a remake of the very first Prince of Persia game, which was released in 1989 and created by Jordan Mechner for the Apple II. It was released June 13, 2007 to the Xbox Live Arcade service for 800 Microsoft Points (10$) and PlayStation Network on October 23rd 2008 for £7.99. The maps are the same as the original, but the graphics and difficulty is updated.

Plot

The Princess has been captured by the wicked Grand Vizier Jaffar. Jaffar gives The Princess an ultimatum; marry him or die. Jaffar gives her 60 minutes to decide, hopefully giving The Prince enough time to rescue her.

Gameplay

The player controls The Prince as he ventures through 14 levels to save The Princess from Jaffar. The game is set in 2D and features loads of traps, jumps and enemies to overcome. Suitably, The Prince can jump, roll, fight and do whatever he needs to get past each screen. The Prince faces several enemies throughout the game, forcing him to equip his blade and fight. The player has a health-meter, but can use potions to refill it. Unlike the original, there are checkpoints throughout each level, making the game more forgiving than its challenging predecessor. Another addition that makes the game more forgiving is the inclusion of a helpful sprite that leads the way.

The Prince will team up with The Dark Prince, a variation of himself.

A countdown is activated throughout the game, counting down to the 60 minute deadline set by Jaffar. The player does not fail when the countdown is complete, but completing the game before the deadline grants an extra cutscene.

The game sports a Survival Mode, where the player has one life and no resets. Losing your life means resetting the entire game.
