Top PSP game review: Prince of Persia Rival Swords

by James Trent


One of the to PSP games around right now is an
action-packed hack and slash RPG--Prince of Persia: Rival
Swords. This is the conclusion to the Sand of Time trilogy. Here
the return home of our hero doesn't go as planned. Instead of
kicking back and romancing the Empress of Time, he blinks to
find the whole of Babylon on fire, an enemy he had already
defeated returned (and immortal at that), and a madman putting
up bizarre elevators all over his city. If it doesn't have a
weird source of conflict that translates into engaging action,
it can't be one of the top PSP games.



Anyway, it turns out that the use of magic to interfere with
time and space translates into plain interference, which means
future events get screwed. Rescuing the Empress from her destiny
in Warriors Within, our hero has managed to screw up the
consequences of what he did in the trilogy first game. Nice,
right? Gives you more of the same formula to work on. The
solution of course is team up with an old buddy and be a nimble
webless wall jumper, while wielding a whoa double
sword--something our Prince just happens to be good at. Hey,
it's a top PSP game. Don't argue.



Right. The review. The good stuff is that the action and
adventure maintains its hold on the player. Nice and engaging.
There's a lot of very smooth and intuitive transition between
platforms, fights, and narration. Graphics are impressive if you
consider that this is the portable format. Oh yeah, there are
some bonus material that jives things up. You'll see. Top PSP
game, like I said.



The bad stuff is nothing compared to the good, but we mention
them just the same. Sound hiccups happen all the time. You get
used to it though, so that Prince of Persia: Rival Swords, keeps
you glued to your handheld, making it a top PSP
game among the current releases.
