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.. Like some of you here, I’m also stuck in the sinking tower, after the 4th sand gate (Rival Swords for PSP). I hear the Dark prince telling me to use the sword, but I don’t know how to do it. Could you please help me with that? I’m usually good at this kind of things, I actually beated the Arena Boss after trying a few times and without any help (not that I’m the only one, but I know it’s kinda tricky and I figured it out by myself and quickly.. Being a girl and all). This thing is killing me, I can’t figure it out. The last save says I’m at the Temple Rooftops..

Hi - first time on Wii today with Prince of Persia (rival swords) and pulling me hear out in my 8th hour … i’m sure it’ll be something silly but upon game entry, roll under door, climb up and over, go down ladder, walk into the room with columms, climb up to the top boards where you can see the windows have been cut open.. Ok - so from here how do you get out!? I’m going crazy. I can sometimes manage to jump from the railings across and out the window, but I die immediately due to the height…. Please help if you know!!! Sincerely, Stacy.

seriously, no, every suggestion, every tip, every pointless video, does not help anyone beat that first Arena boss on the Wii.
Since it has been so badly ported, the stupid game doesn’t know what is going on. I’ve struggled in this arena long enough to see countless glitches such as the Monster facing the opposite way to me for at least two minutes. The monster punching the wall that I was at half a minute earlier…mmm, good work Ubisoft. Your conversion to Wii is so innovative and new. Its all well & good banging on about speed kills & being precise & well timed…but the game isn’t that intelligent. Its no Zelda or Mario Galaxy. It doesn’t know how to utilise the Wii-mote perfectly. Its a crap port with whiz bang new waving actions to do things. Thanks for trying to try to help, but no, its not helpful at all

@KurtCoccaine:
If i remember, the way to beat the Brute is like to navigate him to the right direction. You shouldn’t let him bump on walls instead find for a path or some way out there. That boss monster is like your ride so drive carefully. LOL.
And I wish Kurt Cobain’s still alive.
