Product Details of Prince of Persia: Rival Swords

Description

Based on 2005's Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, this first entry in the series for the Wii takes advantage of the system's revolutionary controllers. Players will be able to clash swords with enemies, execute speed kills and perform the Prince's well-known acrobatic moves such as running on walls. The game creates an epic experience by combining two playable characters in gameplay that mixes combat, platforming, puzzles and a compelling storyline. The Prince of Persia makes his way home to Babylon, bearing with him Kaileena, the enigmatic Empress of Time, and unspeakable scars from the Island of Time. But instead of the peace he longs for, he finds his kingdom ravaged by war and Kaileena the target of a brutal plot. When she is kidnapped, the Prince tracks her to the Palace - only to see her murdered by a powerful enemy. Her death unleashes the Sands of Time, which strike the Prince and threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. Cast to the streets, hunted as a fugitive, the Prince soon discovers that the Sands have tainted him, too. They have given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him.

Prince of Persia: Rival Swords is Neat!

Strengths: Good graphics and lots of action

Weakness: None yet

Prince of Persia: Rival Swords is an action packed game that is fun to play. I haven't played any of the other Prince Of Persia games for other game controller platforms since the PC version came out years ago. This is a huge improvement over that game (but I would have expected as much). Bottom line: its a fun game is you like adventure type games.

Fun, and awesome

Strengths: everything

Weakness: nothing

Prince of Persia: Rival Swords is a really cool game that has very few bad aspects to it. Awesome gameplay, great story, good graphics, fun gameplay and i could go on. The only tihng that lets it down is the camera that sometimes gives you an akwrd angle and the graphics could have been worked on. Otherwise it is a very fun and addicting game that has been getting some bad reviews because it is...

2-year-old game + Wii controls = $50 new release?!

Strengths: Completes last gen's Prince of Persia trilogy, solid fighting & platforming action, good audio

Weakness: Lackluster visuals, next to no new content, minimal Wii controls, expensive for what you get

A lot of new consoles get quick and easy ports of last generation's popular titles (Dreamcast got a lot of these), so rather than creating an all-new game for Wii, it's not surprising to see publisher Ubisoft offering its Prince of Persia: Two Thrones title again as Rival Swords. It's still a good game two years later, but you definitely shouldn't pay full price for it. If you haven't already...

Wii's Prince of Persia

Strengths: Easy to control by Wii controllers

Weakness: Graphics can be imporved

Players use both controllers to control the main character's actions. Unlike in other platforms, here most of the different movements (including camera moving) are performed Wii-ly rather than clicking different buttons. There are quite a few battling techniques that players need to practise first. Automatic tutorials are available along the game play. Graphics are not bad but can be improved.
