The first trailer for the new Prince of Persia game on DS is suprising alot of people. Not only does it look really good, something similar to the style of New Super Mario Bros on DS, but everything from animations to environment look varied. There seems to be alot of touch screen controls, such as tapping to a wall you want to jump from, attacking enemies, aiming an allies magic attack, moving objects, and deflecting a bosses projectiles. Overall it seems like a nice mix of hands on with the stylus and d-pad action. Honestly the trailer took me by suprise, I am now really looking forward to this one!

Ubisoft presentó nuevas imágenes de Prince of Persia DS, este título que ha dividido la opinión de los jugadores, pues mientras unos lo ven como un juego para niños por su aspecto visual, otros celebran este nuevo “look” por darle frescura a la serie, incluso en la portátil de Nintendo.

Este título llegará a las tiendas a finales de año.

While a new Prince of Persia is coming to consoles following an upgraded cel shaded look and is geared more towards its action than platforming, a new Price of Persia game has been announed for DS titled Prince of Persia: The Fallen King. Ubisoft says it features unique controls as well as a new playable ally named Magus who will focus more on magic to help solve puzzles. A new side scrolling PoP game is good news, lets just hope these magic elements and new “kid-friendly” look don’t distract from the near miss jumps and difficulty this classic series is known for. Look for the release Holiday 2008.
