Prince of Persia returns to PSP News

PSP News by Tom Bramwell

12 September, 2006

The Prince of Persia is set to return to PlayStation Portable this Christmas in a game based on the last console title, The Two Thrones, but with exclusive levels and multiplayer options.

Prince of Persia: Rival Swords is due out in Europe this Christmas and in the US in 2007 and is in development at Pipeworks Software (part of Foundation 9 Entertainment).

According to Ubisoft, the multiplayer elements will see one player take control of the Prince and the other grappling with his alter-ego the Dark Prince, racing through levels and activating switches to try and thwart the other player.

Otherwise the game is very similar to Two Thrones, with a single-player that sees the Prince return to Babylon after his angry sojourn to the Castle of Time, and includes refinements to the series' freeform fighting system along with lots of new and grisly ways to kill people. Check out our Xbox review of Two Thrones for more information.

Sounds promising. Hopefully the sound bugs and glitches will be absent this time. The multiplayer aspect is a nice addition.

Let's hope they ditch the chariots.

That segment was about as embarrassing as THUGs car levels!

The word is that there is going to be a chariot two player versus mode, apparently.

Then that is indeed a bad word.

Wobbly chariots with wobbly controls do not a good two player make. The only reason people find it so hard is because its terribly designed.

Other than that, its not a bad game, really. Surprising since i smashed my Xbox Warrior Within disc thanks to the game breaking glitch 2 scenes before the end of the game.......

two thrones was awesome, apart from that fire ring boss battle (especialy when you used all/most of your sands on the previous chariot race)

Going a bit out of their way not to release the best version(Sands of Time) on the PSP it seems to me :(

Still, this was decent enough, be interesting to see how they translate it to the handheld.
