XBLA Wednesday: Prince of Persia Classic

Filed in archive XBLA on June 12, 2007

We're used to seeing arcade oldies retooled for the Xbox Live Arcade but this week we're getting a different kind of classic: Prince of Persia. While nowadays the Prince runs around in three dimensions and magically rewinds time, Prince of Persia Classic takes you back to the side-scrolling running-and-jumping Prince of the original PC game.

Game Features
* Enhanced character designs, animations and visuals
* New traps, puzzles and enemies to tackle further augment the classic experience
* 12 Achievements will be available - ranging from the simple (finding the sword in the first level) to the near impossible (finding all the potions in the game or finishing the game without dying!)
* The title will feature 3 different leaderboards:
o Normal Mode: Complete the game as fast as possible, which saves at the end of each level
o Time Attach Mode: Complete the game as fast as possible - but be prepared to start from the beginning if you fail to save the Princess in under 60 minutes
o Survival Mode: Complete the entire game in under 60 minutes - without dying

Prince of Persia Classic costs 800 MS Points ($10 US) and is available tomorrow.
