The Prince’s moves are ridiculously limited, so he can only jump straight up when not moving. Half the time he just ends up running over an edge because he didn’t stop where you thought he would.Ĭlimbing up and down is even more frustrating. You can’t make him start running properly, you can’t make him stop when you want to. It will be easier to control an aircraft that has lost both its wings and the engine than the Prince in this game. There is no precision in the movement of the character. What you get is the exact opposite of that. Prince of Persia Classic is a 2D platforming game, where you will be doing a lot of jumping and climbing, so the movement of the character has to be precise to make the game enjoyable. It’s terrible and that mostly has to do with the controls and everything to do with the way the character generally moves. During combat, the keys switch to attack, defend and to sheathe the sword.Īlright, now here’s the thing the game sucks.

On the right you have additional controls that can make the price jump, bend/drop down and walk (instead of running by default). The game is still a 2D platformer and you control the movement of the Prince using virtual joystick controls on the left.

In Prince of Persia Classic, you’re a nameless protagonist known only as the Prince, whose job is to save the life of the sultan’s daughter from the evil vizier and take back the kingdom.
