Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Hands On
With the power to freeze water at our disposal, we put our acrobatic
skills to the test in Ubisoft's upcoming adventure with the prince. The prince has undergone a drastic transformation during the seven-year
span between the Sands of Time and Warrior Within. Prince of Persia:
The Forgotten Sands returns to that universe and plans to fill in some
of the gaps by recounting just one of the prince's many chaotic
adventures. In this particular case, the story is about the prince and
his brother who have teamed up against the devastating Sand Army. While
the game and the upcoming movie Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
are coming out around the same time, the game is completely separate
from the film; thus, the in-game prince bears no resemblance to Jake
Gyllenhaal--except for the outfit. The last time
we saw the game, we ventured into an expansive city that was under
attack by outsiders and eventually faced some skeletal members of the
Sand Army. In our latest hands-on session, we practiced our freezing
water ability to navigate through the sewers and get a taste of what
combat is going to feel like.
