Gi - Prince of Persia: the Shadow and the Flame is out and hearkens back to simpler days. Way back in 1993, Prince of Persia 2 rope-swung into gamer hearts and minds once again. Developed by Broderbund, Prince of Persia 2 was lauded for its greatly improved graphics and realistic animations, as well as the significantly increased map size and revamped combat. Now, two decades later, Ubisoft has released an updated HD remake of the original game, for iOS and Android devices. Complete with all kinds of swipey mechanics, an entirely new engine and 3D graphics, Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame is a classic side-scrolling romp through dangerous cities and deadly dungeons.Ready to swing, leap, stab, slash, roll, and climb back into the land of a thousand tales?
It's not the 1993 original, but dodging traps and cutting down monsters as the re-imagined Prince is still a fun way to dive back into its universe.
Edge:Taking its name from Broderbund’s 1993 sequel to Prince Of Persia, The Shadow And The Flame is an awkward amalgam of the series’ past and present. It takes the form of a side-scrolling platform action game – with plentiful visual reminders of its namesake, from crumbling walkways to deadly spike traps – but attempts to deliver a more complex mixture of switch-hitting, sprinting, leaping and sword-fighting, all wrapped up in the visual design and iconography of the franchise’s post-millennial reinvention.
