Prince of Persia, for those unfamiliar with the series, is a run-climb-and-jump platformer interspersed with combat. The story revolves around our nameless Prince, who is not really a prince, and the Princess Elika, who really is a princess. After Elika lands on top of you, literally, early on in the game she will be joined to you at the hip for the duration. The story is told through various animated cut scenes and nearly endless player-initiated conversations with the lovely but extremely talkative Elika. Your main objective is, of course, to stop the Dark God, Ahriman, from taking over the world...what? Did you think it would be anything else? So if you're ready, avid reader, let's break it down.
