Running Along Walls in Prince of Persia: Rival Swords
Released on April 1, 2007, yeah April Fool’s Day, Prince of Persia: Rival Swords is one hell of a game PSP hardcore gamers must have! It’s from Ubisoft and yeah it’s got great graphics and a nice gameplay. I just had this game this morning but I wasn’t able to try it right away. I had to go to work so I had to wait until I get home to play it. Well it’s not that I couldn’t play during breaks but I guess 15 minute breaks is not enough time to mingle with the PSP. So I waited until I got home so I could try out this awesome game.
First of all, the game intro is cool and I love it. I also love the narrator’s voice. What I love about the game is the fast kill where you take the enemy from behind. It’s like awesome but you must practice the timing so you won’t run into killing your opponent the hard way. I also love the controls which is not too bad. You use the analog thumb to move your character and X to jump or climb… it’s got a lot of controls but it’s not really hard to get the hang of it. Well, I think this game has nice assigned controls on it. I think it’s the best considering the PSP only have a pair of shoulder buttons. I really think you’ll enjoy climbing and running on walls on this game. And of course you’ll also love the moves when you kill an enemy.
Well, I can’t say anything more right now because I’m just in the beginning of the game. Tomorrow we’ll be half day at work and I’m gonna be on vacation for 5 days. I’m gonna have a very long time to play this one and hopefully, I get to finish it before I get back to work. While I’m not playing Prince of Persia: Rival Swords, I have another game to bring with me. It’s called Exit and I’m gonna try to finish this game too. Well, Exit is a puzzle game where you help survivors get out of the building. It’s got nice vector graphics and very easy controls but it has really mind boggling puzzles especially on higher levels.
Here are some screenshots for you to enjoy:
Practice balancing on a beam…
…and when you don’t fall off, jump to the gap between the walls
Now that you’re between the gap, climb down and don’t be seen
Get behind the enemy…
…and perform a swift kill…
…again and again, over and over.
Don’t let the enemy see you so hang in there!
And oh, don’t forget to drink on the fountain to regain your health and save your game.

I have the same problem trying to kill the giant at the Arena. I tried for almost 2 days now but seem to kill him. Everytime i try to stab him a second time, the prince will get caught and thrown onto the ground. i kept thinking maybe the psp version has some problem. can someone help, please?

@Michael: Yes it’s like a fast kill. Go up into the platform twice and the screen will blur, trigger the fast kill and time it right. You actually climb the platform twice and then execute the fast kill. You climb up the platform to blind him and after doing that, you’ll have to stab both his legs to bring him down. After this giants life bar closes to the end, you must execute another speed kill attack and time it right. Bam! he’s dead. Well, that’s what I recall but that’s easy compared to the next bosses.

Hi james. To kill that Big Monster, you must climb up to the top. When you’re at the top already, the screen will blur and you must press square. Time your attacks carefully or you would have to climb up again. Do this two times and then you’ll have to fight the monster on land.
There are two ways to climb actually. I wish I could show you how but I would have to write another post. If you’re still stuck after two days I’ll write a follow up post on this one.
