Prince Of Persia: Essentials PS3

A new prince comes into the frame in this reimagining of the majestic Prince of Persia action adventure series. The original Prince of Persia was a phenomenon of the 80s, giving players a brutal and taxing platforming adventure. Years later, the Prince returned in the hands of Ubisoft in the Sands of Time trilogy. Now, Ubisoft has gone back to basics, giving players a new prince based in a free roaming fantasy environment. Rather than match the realistic tones of previous titles, Prince of Persia takes its inspiration directly from artwork, the game taking on a raw, hand drawn feel with flowing, colourful lines filling the screen.The platforming the Persia titles are known for returns, but now with a far more versatile and graceful style. Players can clamber across walls and jump great distances with the help of Elika, an ally always on hand to save the prince for death-inducing drops. Combat is also far more intimate; players face off against only one opponent at a time, being forced to string together flowing attacks. Prince of Persia may star a new prince, but the graceful platforming and close-quarter combat the series is known for is firmly in place. Features: A new hero emerges - Master the acrobatics, strategy and fighting tactics of the most agile warrior of all time. Perform perfectly timed acrobatic combinations to traverse canyons and buildings and avoid the evil tremors borne out of the corruption. Armed with a gauntlet acquired from previous adventures, the Prince scale sheer cliff faces and tackle Ahriman’s minions in combat! A unique visual style - Experience an ancient mythological world brought to life with an all-new art style labeled “Illustrative”, inspired by the highly detailed hand painted illustrations it takes its source from. Prince of Persia’s unique graphic style is a perfect balance between classic drawings and modern modeling, offering the look and feel of a watercolour painting in motion. A deadly new ally - Combine the Prince’s abilities and Elika&rsqu
