Basic Plot
The story begins 11 days after the plot of the original Prince of Persia. The prince asks for the princesses hand in marriage and the Sultan agrees. As he enters the palace he finds he has been transformed into the visage of a beggar, whilst someone else who has taken on his form (Jaffar) orders him to be thrown out. The prince escapes through a window and boards a merchant ship, and the game begins.
The story takes the Prince to distant lands where he encounters strange and magical creates. He gains the ability to turn into a shadow form, and uses this to defeat Jaffar and rescue the princess.
Gameplay
Prince of Persia 2 is a platform side scrolling game with elements of combat, acrobatics, and puzzle solving.
This game had a greater emphasis on combat than the original.
As with the original game the player had to beat it within a certain real world time limit.
Positives
More detailed and advanced graphics, more diversity in terms of environments. Decent gameplay mechanics.
Negatives
Fairly unmemorable.
Memorable Moments
The plot sounds pretty intricate, yet none of it was obvious when I played the game.
