  • Summary: Facing imminent danger, the Prince flees to a deserted kingdom that seemingly offers sanctuary. Already touched by the evil Corruption, a dark substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the kingdom is filled with adventure, challenge and intrigue. As the Prince seeks a way to fight the spreading Corruption destroying the land, he encounters a partially infected creature that promises salvation. But is the creature truly an ally or merely an enemy in disguise? It seems this perilous alliance may be the only way for the Prince to face the forces of darkness and save the Persian kingdom from the Corruption once and for all. Use the DS stylus to master the acrobatics, strategy and fighting tactics of the most agile warrior of all time. Immerse yourself in the captivating Prince of Persia universe with an original and independent story that closely coincides with the action of the console & PC editions of the game. Brand-new art design delivers incredible environments in over 50+ maps. Explore deserted cities, dark labyrinths and forbidding jungles to battle the evil Corruption. Play as the all-new character: the Magus: Switch between the Prince and this mysterious new ally to fight, solve puzzles and utilize his magical powers to make your way through the corrupted land.

    It's a shame that the game doesn't match the acrobatic thrill of its next generation cousins, but at the same time you do have to give credit for trying something new with the stylus only controls.

    I’ve heard that the stylus control of this game is kind of tough. It’s not so bad. Once you learn the control scheme for this game, it becomes really good, and the learning curve really isn’t so terrible as some would have you believe. Just kick it, be patient, and learn what you are doing. Half hour tops to get used to it. After that it’s pure PoP, but for the DS. How could you go wrong with that?… Expand

    The game is quite basic: all levels look the same, there's no character progress and the atmosphere and setting is poor. Playing with the stylus is funny but buggy sometimes. If you are looking for a Super Mario kind of game (like me) don't buy it or you'll be disappointed.… Expand
