Introduction

Let's Play Prince of Persia

Prince of Persia is the 2008 incarnation in a storied series of games about a guy who can jump really well. It's very different from the other entires in the series, but it maintains the focus on platforming. The most important thing to note, right away, is that the game is not in any way related to the famous PS2 trilogy that was its predecessor. The game we're playing here has a new world, new characters, and new mechanics. It deals with themes of temptation, corruption, greed, morality, idealism, destiny, duty, and sand. Lots of sand, narratively or otherwise. I really don't want to spoil too much, but I deeply love this game, its characters, its mythology, and its art. I hope you find as much to love as I did.

The commentary and let's play are going to be information focused, to give you as much insight into the game mechanics and world as possible.
