Originally released for GameBoy Colour in 1999, Prince of Persia is now downloadable on the Nintendo 3DS E-Store for £5.40 in the virtual console range. It is a fun but annoying game to play, with good graphics for its time and a gameplay to match.

STORY:
The story is following the main plot of the original movie, where a sorcerer has put a curse on the beautiful Jaffar, daughter of the sultan who was the ruler, and you have exactly 60 minutes to Marry her or she will perish! Unknown to her however you are currently in her dungeons.

SOUNDS:
Its like most games of its era has a nowadays - retro feeling with 64bit sounds. It shares this with most of the other games in the GameBoyColour Virtual Console Range.

GRAPHICS:
Not much to be said for the graphics front. It has a retro charm with 128bit visuals also common to the range.

GAMEPLAY:
This let me down a little. It has controls that if impatient will make you want the money back. However complicated this is solved by going through the training. I WOULD RECOMMEND DOING THE TUTORIAL FIRST. Once you have grasped controls of the game, quit the tutorial and select new game. However even with the tutorials, an annoying feature is that it is difficult to just walk one place forward but other than that the controls are rather easy.

SUMMARY:
This game isn't exactly my kind of game but I am enjoying it a lot. For the small price to pay this fun little game I would say it is worth it.

WOULD RECOMMEND TO:
- People who enjoyed the Prince of Persia movies
- People who want a little game to play
- People who like movie games

OTHER GAMES TO PLAY:
- Super mario bros. / land / land 2
- Legend of Zelda DX: Links Awakening
