PRincE of PeRSia

Prince of Persia is an upcoming vide game developed by Ubisoft. It is scheduled to be released in late 2008. The game opens an entirely new chapter in the Prince of Persia universe in addition to introducing a fresh Illustrative art style, evolved combat system, open world structure and dynamic AI – most notably in the form of the Prince’s powerful ally Elika.
    Set in a land rooted in ancient Persian mythology, the Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness. He must partner with Elika, a deadly companion, to heal the world from the evil Corruption that is spreading across the land.
   The adventure begins with a new Prince Of Persia, a wanderer, a vagabond, is returning home from an adventure on a donkey laden with treasure, which he earned on his previous venture. He desires to spend his treasure on many luxuries, including women and liquor. But suddenly, he is caught in a fierce sandstorm. When the sandstorm subsides, he finds himself in a mythical garden of beauty, dominated at its center by a massive Tree Of life. The Prince and a girl, Elika, find each other, and, in the same predicament, decide to help each other. Together, they venture to the center of this grand oasis. When they arrive at the center, they witness the destruction of the tree, and the freedom of Ahriman, the ancient god of darkness. After being set free, Ahriman starts corrupting the lands with darkness and evil. The Prince, with the aid of Elika and her new found powers, take up arms against Ahriman's corruption, in an attempt to drive it back and cleanse the world.
 The graphic styles as visible from the screenshots is completely different wich i wil hav to get used to.It still seems dark and haunting but it's also beautiful. The series previous art direction was becoming tired and with every game you were getting more of the same thing. I'm really glad Ubisoft decided to switch it up.Mey be this is going to be the best thing that ever happend.
  Elika is described as a "deadly ally," and a strong supporting character, who will affect every aspect of the game, as she accompanies the Prince throughout the game. This includes exploration, combat and puzzle-solving. A descendant of the Ahuras, she can perform some special moves in tandem with the Prince, and use her magical abilities to aid the Prince in his quest. She is also able to guide the Prince on the right track in case he is lost in his way in the game and can assist him in solving multiple puzzles as well.
The E3 demo begins with the Prince and his companion Elika arriving in an area infested by corruption. The black goo acts as your constant adversary throughout POP -- it makes up the traps and enemies you encounter. Elika's Compass spell casts a light on the direction of your objective. It doesn't tell you how to get there, but it will keep you from getting completely lost. And it's a clever way to negate the need for a mini-map -- or any HUD at all.
Ubisoft Montreal sure does know how to make appealing games but if they can deliver with pop remains to be seen. I was so excited for assasins creed and ended up hating to game, i hope this turns out a little better
