Earlier Post: Prince of Persia on N-Gage

Prince of Persia, one the all time best selling games by Gameloft, was released on N-gage 2.0 last week. The game was earlier available on both j2me and symbian platforms.

Here is the detailed review of the Game:

The Story of the Game revolves around the Hero, the Prince of Persia, who is heading for home after a journey abroad. The prince finds himself in forbidden lands after a sand storm and encounters an adventure that changes his life forever and makes him a Hero. On his journey , he rescues a girl named Elika, who is in search of a tree of life that has the powers of saving her land from decaying. The Prince helps Elika find what she wants and the Elika returns the favour by helping the prince on his way, with her magical powers. The duo fall in love with each other, but the mystery unfolds and it appears that Elika will have to sacrifice her life to save her people.

Can the Prince save Elika's life? Play 12 exiting levels to find out.

The graphics in the game are a combination of 3d environment with a 2d side scrolling engine. The 3d world is most detailed amongst many other N-Gage games. The sound quality and background score of the game is superb. The controls of the Hero and Elika are simple and intuitive. The hero can jump, roll, swing, use his sword, all at the press of keys on the D-Pad. The frames per second are very good and results in a smooth gaming experience.



The hero has to jump, hang on to pillars, platforms, climb walls and perform different gymnastics without falling down from a tower or into molten lava at times.


The hero fights enemies with his sword, The Hero can also kill enemies by lifting them and throwing them on the ground. This is particularly helpful against the blue enemies with Shields. Throwing them breaks their shields and helps in killing them faster.

The games allows to control either the Hero or Elika depending on the situation, for instance Elika can fly and reach out places high up and open doors for the Hero. She can also cast magic spells.

The hero and Elika fly on a dragon from one level to another. The dragon has to be controlled from obstacles and enemies attacking it. While on Dragon the Hero can swing sword if the enemies are very near to them or throw fire balls if they are at a distance. The are some minor issue with the collision detection while controlling the dragon past some of the obstacles.

Scores can be submitted to the N-Gage arena at the end of every level.






Killing the monsters in the games isn't very difficult. Collecting 3 diamonds in the game helps increase the power of the Hero.
The game is about 30 mbs so make sure you have sufficient space when downloading.
