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.

Hi im in The Brute Chapter, im stuck to that brute for three days. you see, after beating the crap out of his feet he’ll fall on his knees, and the prince will climb on his back and do his speed kill thing. I can’t seem to control the giant he always smash himself on the wall and the prince end up getting pounded on the ground. even though i use the skill that slows time it’s really pretty hard to control I always end up being squashed by the giant

hi while waiting for stylemo to respond, i tot of jus perhaps answering some of the questions since i’ve gone thru those parts of the game alr
to carron: i forgot how ure supposed to get on his back but after u do, u can move the analog stick to control him. avoid the walls. u can run into the wooden ones and he’ll smash thru, if i dun rmb wrongly. den it’ll come to a place when he smashes into smthg and the prince will auto jump off i think. yup then he’ll die and u go to the fountain right beside u for a drink
to ion viar: around the arena, there r two places where u can climb up from and u’ll end up at his eye level, u walk down the plank, perform the speed kills once for each side. each speed kill takes 3 cuts, after which u go back to ground level, hack at one of his leg until he stands on one leg, den quickly go hack at the other leg until he falls over. den ure supposed to perform another speed kill and u’ll win
to sunith: i forgot how but ure supposed to make use of the environment. yup. either that or u haf to wall run up and plunge the dagger in

hello, i really need help in fighting the vizier on the terrace. can i know if there’s a way to fight him? cos i manage to fight him off until the part he brought down the pillars and the stones start moving around on the ground. by that time i have like only half my life left. i know that he will harbour near a pillar and i’m supposed to go over, run up the pillar and perform a speed kill. i managed to do that twice to knock out his wing-like things but i almost always get hit by the moving rocks and die during or before that stage. please help. thank you
