Prince of Persia: Fallen King revealed for DS

via Computer and Video Games


Ubisoft has unveiled a brand new Prince of Persia game for DS that's scheduled to hit the handheld console by Christmas this year.

Subtitled The Fallen King, the new game uses the stylus controls to "deliver the extraordinary acrobatic and combat action" of the franchise, according to the developer.

While the story and scenario will be different to the upcoming Xbox 360 / PS3 game, some of the gameplay mechanics sound similar.

In The Fallen King, the Prince will meet new character Magnus, who players must take control of at times to fight, solve puzzles and explore.

It all sounds good, but we're not sold yet on the screenshots and concept art. We feel a little like we did when we first saw The Wind Waker's cell shading. It's not bad looking by any stretch of the imagination, just different, a bit like the new game coming for consoles.

Early days yet though, so we'll hold off until we see more shots from the game until we pass judgement.
