Prince of Persia: Rival Swords
The Prince of Persia series has been thrilling gamers for over 15 years with its mix of magical stories and epic platform action. But would the opulent vision of classics like Sands of Time and Warrior Within be fatally compromised on the small screen?

In short, no. Well, not quite. Rival Swords is a re-imagined version of Prince of Persia Two Thrones, with extra scenes and a fun two-player racing mode thrown in for good measure. You once again take on the role of the prince, this time returning to his home kingdom of Babylon only to find the streets ravaged by war. Worse still, his companion Kaileena, the Empress of Time has been kidnapped and the prince himself is being possessed by a dark version of himself.
