Prince of Persia Classic coming to iOS

By Fred Dutton Published 27 October, 2011

Ubisoft also readying iPhone Rabbids titles.

Ubisoft is porting the 2007 HD remake of the original Prince of Persia to iOS.

All we've got to go on are the screenshots below. Looks like you can expect standard touch screen controls, social networking-integration and three game modes: Normal Attack, time Attack and Survival. There's no hint of a release date.

Gameloft's original tarted-up PSN/XBLA take on Jordan Mechner's 1989 side-scrolling classic won a 7/10 from Eurogamer on release. For details, head on over to our Prince of Persia Classic review.

Ubisoft has also announced a pair of Rabbids games due for release on the App Store before the end of the year.

Details are scant on both Rabbids Go HD and Rabbids Go Phone Again, but both seem to be virtual pet sims in which you get to torment one of the titular critters which has got itself stuck inside your phone.

    This is one of those XBLA titles I facied but never quite got around to. Seem to remember it was 800MSP back when 800 was asking a lot for an XBLA game. Wonder if they ever reduced it....

    Might have to take a look at this some time (it'll suffer with touch screen controls, so XBLA version would obviously be preferable)

    As long as the price is right. Prince of Persia retro plays well.

    Man, classic Prince of Persia was fiddly enough with a SNES pad.

    @MENTAL1ST You think that's fiddly? I remember playing it using a joystick back on my Atari ST. I'm still unsure if the 2007 HD version was just easier in general or using a controller rather than a 2 button joystick made it seem that way.

    @Albull Most games back then seemed more fiddly with a joystick. :) Keyboard controls always seemed the better option IMO.
