Prince of Persia is the second time the old Prince of Persia game has been rebooted. The first time was in the last generation of Xbox and PS2 in the form of Prince of Persia Sands of Time. Now with the Xbox 360 and PS3 the series has been rebooted again this time with a new prince and a new animated art style that makes the game look like you are playing in a very artistic painting more so than a video game.
The story is quite simple. You play as a nameless tomb raider who is in search of his donkey when he comes across Princess Elika who is on the run. Being the ladies man that you are you decide to help the princess and in doing so get sucked into a story that involves a king who has started the process of releasing a dark god by the name of Ariman and his daughter, the princess, who is trying to seal the dark god back up in the temple.
Most of the game is simple platforming trying to get to places called the "Fertile Grounds" while collecting items called "Light Seeds" and in the process destroying Ariman's evil minions who are trying to spread a darkness called the "Corruption" across the land.
The mind behind Prince of Persia shares his family’s life story as well as his own as a videogame developer in an emotional and very personal book.
With the release of The Lost Crown this week, let's take a look at every Prince of Persia game released since the series debuted.
If you’re a gamer “of a certain age”, you may vaguely remember the moment when games went from a grueling gauntlet requiring all your skill and concentration to tackle to a casual, checkpoint-containing, cruise control-encouraging walk in the park.
I beat Jurassic Park multiple times!
Jurassic Park had no save system, so I would leave the console running while I went to school, took breaks. It's not that it's hard, it's just tedious. But I was a Jurassic Park obsessed kid (around 13 when this hit), so I would obsessively scower ever inch of the maps (both 2D and 3D) until I had them memorized.
The Star Wars trilogy, I only beat w the cheat codes.
Sounds just like me. I mapped out the indoor areas on paper, leaving the SNES on for days at a time. But I never finished the game. I collected all the raptor eggs except one. So close !
oh god, I remember beating JP on SNES and like you said, it was all in one shot.
I dunno about this list though, I beat all the Star Wars games and while some levels were tough, it was easy to get powerups and extra lives and stuff. Maybe set to the hardest settings it was tough. I also beat Contra 3, loved that game to death.
with the exception of Jurassic Park and Prince of Persia, I've beaten every other one of those. It just takes practice and time. Something I had way more of when I was younger.
