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.

Wow, thanks MartWii. I think what you posted down would help a lot of Wii players out there.
Personally, I’ve never experienced that Wii sensitivity problem before. When I play on the Wii, I’m 2 meters away from the TV.

This is direct help for anyone who has the “Wii” version of POP RS. In the first boss battle, when the speed kill never appears….. this happens because the remote on the wii is too sensitive. However don’t go and turn the sensitivity down follow these steps…
1) Walk up to the plank where the first speed kill always triggers.
2) Jump off and the moment you trigger the first speed kill put the remote on a bed or chair or something close to you so that it stands perfectly still. If you want pause the game and do it.
3) Put your hands above the wii remote and because of the low movement, the second speed kill on the shoulder will trigger. Quickly grab the remote and you’ll be able to perform the shoulder and eye speedkill.
4) Climb onto the next platform and follow the same steps
5) As you finally slash his feet and he falls down. Pause the game. Again put the wii remote on the bed or flat surface so it doesn’t move. Then 3 more speedkills will be triggered on his back, head , and back again. Quickly pick up the remote to trigger each of these…. I had the EXACT same problem as all of you on the Wii version….Heres some help

hi stylemo, i’m stuck again. straight after i kill the chick (brothel stage), the first fountain save point. There’s a cupboard type thing and its doors are open. You’re meant to climb the leadge and then run slong the wall to the right and jump onto a platfoirm where there’s a leaver you pull which closes the cupboard door. I don’t know what i’m suppose to do here. On the ledge there’s a T shaped bar but i can’t seem to see its functionality.
Please help…
Thanks!

@schiek - Don’t sell the game man. Prince of Persia is a Classic. I heard they’ll be making a movie.
Learn the speed kill and learn how to climb and swing. That’s what you really need to get through the game.

Here’s how you kill the final boss:
When the battle begins in the arena, he’ll charge at you. Simply dodge the boss by rolling to the side. Eventually, the boss will levitate and throw large pieces of stone debris. Again, evade the attack by side rolling. Get close and hit the boss a few times if it tires out.
After this phase, the boss will summon a large sand twister that can kill you. The prince needs to seek out a pillar at the edge of the arena that lets him wall run vertically and execute a speed kill. Do the displayed commands to cut off the boss’ wings.
For the final phase, the boss floats high off the ground, and the prince will be forced to do a series of jumps, leaps, and siddles on the floating stones to reach the boss. The boss will try to shoot you down with an energy blast, so time your own jumps to have something obstructing the boss’ line of sight. When you get close to the boss, the prince should begin executing the last and final speed-kill.
