Yes, I am rather running off at the mouth, and of course it's possible that you don't know anything about the original Prince of Persia. This latter move, however, can't be executed until the Prince has more than eight units of life, and, as in the first game, he only starts with three.
if the Prince moves quickly enough from side to side, his shadow comes away from his body, leaving him free to wander around (as the shadow) and explore otherwise inaccessible regions. New move number two is the 'shaking off his shadow' move. in certain circumstances the Prince can drop from his crouch position and snake along the ground (beneath any nastiness or through tunnels) at about one pico-metre an hour. In fact he's got two, come to think of it.
But now it's not only his walk that's poncey, because he's got a new move to add to his collection. He's back, back, back! Yes the Prince with a slightly poncey walk is with us once again in the long awaited sequel. Yes, Prince of Persia was an award winning game. 'The devil knows all the best tunes, and this appears to be one of them.' said the Rev Jeremy Whitesnade of Hull. 'I was convinced I was actually watching a film in the cinema until I remembered I wasn't,' said Mr Gareth Plunk of Birmingham. 'It was so real I soiled my slacks,' said Mrs Glenys Thridwell of Sutton. Countless thousands of folk purchased the game without a moment's hesitation.
Videotaped footage of a real bloke running, jumping, climbing and swordfighting, transformed into a fully animated computer sprite which, in turn, was scrunged into a platform game.
In the beginning, of course, there was Prince of Persia 1 and 2, the people of the world saw that it was rather skill.
