One characteristic of the DS is getting a very different versions of games are released simultaneously on the console or PSP. One example is the Web of Shadows which was released mid last year. When the console and PSP versions is more emphasis on 3D adventures of Spidey, DSnya version brings the classic feel of 2D. A few months later, when Prince of Persia a simultaneous release on the console and the DS, once again much different version of DS console version. The reason is clear, DS handheld system clearly is not strong enough to compare consoles like 360 or PS3. But as we know, the more slick graphics does not mean the game is more superior. Was this DS version could compete with his half brothers?
I have reviewed Prince of Persia console versions that have free-roaming genre of adventure. Character with Elika will explore the soil for the soil to free him from the curse of Ahriman, the DS version (The Fallen King / TFK) is slightly different because it gives us the level structure like a traditional adventure game (system folders like Super Mario World or Donkey Kong). What is unique is, gameplay from the DS version is very similar to the development version of the original Prince of Persia (which was 89 years). As a Prince, you can jump, hanging on the edge of the platform, open the puzzles and the occasional face to face with the enemy.
Just repeat the classic game of course not enough, in this game Prince get upgraded new capabilities. This time his ability to play a sword to be more agile, he can perform rolling movements, to wall-jump to row a ninja-style. Well, as the program's ability is still not enough to bring Prince complete his mission. Elika As with Prince in the console version, the Prince in this DS version was accompanied by a mage named Zal. Val instead omnipoten figure can always save your life style Elika, but its presence remains vital enough in the game. Gameplay in TFK more focus on platforming. You will be busy with Prince of characters jumping here and there instead of complaining to the enemy's sword.
But the biggest controversy in this game not addition of the ability of the Prince, or the adventure back in the form of 2D, or a partner who is not cewe sexy but mysterious masked mage, but control can only be operated entirely with the stylus. These controls may be considered a nuisance by some people more used to playing normally use D-Pad. It should, Ubisoft does not force gamers to control who they give to us, but give us the option. Fortunately only, although in some initial level of adaptation would be stiff, so you get used to control the Prince, the controls were quite fluid.
For graphics and sound, not much to be proud of TFK. Let alone compared with the console version, even compared with similar games on the DS also was losing quality TFK. The music was repetitive and poor variations, graphics are not much different from level to level (even the majority of enemies will you encounter only one kind of fighters!). It's a shame, but I had high hopes to see the Prince's character design and Zal chibi style. Even so, if you want to close my eyes with all the weaknesses found in this game. TFK prove himself as a 2D platform game is solid with a decent time long game. If this kind of liked the game, TFK worth a try.
