X3F TV -- Prince of Persia: Combat and Combos

In our final piece of content for the launch of Prince of Persia we've compiled a video montage of the combat found in the game. Similar to Fable II, Prince of Persia is based on one-button combat with each face button controlling a different kind of attack. Swing your sword with 'X,' use the Gauntlet with 'B,' call on Elika with 'Y,' use acrobatics with 'A' and use button combos to attack from the air or with throws. Prince of Persia includes over 50 different combos that, when strung together, look beautiful and end with devastating results to your enemies. We've barely scratched the surface with this video and believe us when we say the combos can become extremely rewarding -- there's even an achievement for nailing a 14-hit combo.

In Ubisoft Montreal's latest installment of the Prince of Persia series a new hero is paired with a magical Princess named Elika. As the two battle against an evil darkness that takes over the Persian landscape, an ancient force becomes usable by Elika. Essentially, Elika acts as the navigation, safety net and even transportation to the player. Check out this video which showcases each of the four main abilities Elika can use to help you access new areas in Prince of Persia.

X3F TV -- Prince of Persia: Platform Stringing
by Xav de Matos { Dec 3rd 2008 at 12:30PM }
Movement in Prince of Persia has a particular flow. As players progress through the game it becomes easier to use all of the Prince's acrobatic moves to string together navigation as one fluid movement. There isn't much of rush to get from place-to-place but the game includes a few achievements that internally clocks movement time, so learning how to quickly navigate sections with simple button presses and minimal interruptions will be important to some players. Check out our video of some platform stringing to see what you have in store if you decide to pick up Ubisoft's Prince of Persia.
