#PRINCE OF PERSIA FORGOTTEN SANDS UPGRADE#

Elemental Powers: An optional plot point is the ability to upgrade the elemental powers associated with the weapon: Fire (Leaves a damaging trail of flames), Wind (Knocks down all surrounding enemies), Earth (Covers the Prince in an invulnerable stone armor), and Ice (Launches waves of frost with each attack).

Demonic Possession: Malik ends up succumbing one when Ratash decides to take control of him.

Said sword is so cool Ratash keeps it the way it is, rather than using his own. Malik wields a two-handed and royal-looking scimitar.

He later uses an enchanted one given to him by Razia.

This time, the Prince's only weapon is the royal saber he took with him from Persia.

Blood Knight: The more Sand Creatures Malik slays, the more bloodthirsty and arrogant he becomes, until he's possessed by Ratash.

Bittersweet Ending: The Prince survives and saves Malik's kingdom and all its inhabitants, but at the cost of Malik's life.

Big Red Devil: Ratash's basic appearence is that of a massive, brutal-looking demon with red skin and curved horns.

Big Bad: This time, the villain is Ratash, a 1000-year old Ifrit who was sealed away with his army of sand monsters by King Solomon and unleashed by Malik.

Doing this earns you the achievement 'Our Little Secret'.

Achievement Mockery: You can permanently lower your current difficulty anytime in the game.

It would be nice if this is the game that nails it. Combat has always been the sticking point of the Prince of Persia games, vacillating between very easy and overly complex. In the demo, I was set upon by a crush of probably 40 or so ghouls, and had to hack and slash my way through the whole crowd. The name of the game in Forgotten Sands' combat is sheer overwhelming numbers. The Earth power, McIntyre says, is used when he 'goes into an architectural space that was destroyes, and he can see ghosts of what was there before.' The prince can make these 'ghosts,' former bits of the building, into solid objects that he can interact with, one section at a time.ДЄs for wind and fire, those will come into play in the game's combat sections. The rest of the Prince's powers are based on the other three elements. Sometimes you might need to unfreeze the water so you can jump through it instead of into it. It's a second input for you to master: Not only do you have to jump across the levels, but you have to remember to turn the water on and off with the right timing.

This is why, McIntyre says, the acrobatics can get more and more complex as the game progresses. And of course, you can only keep them frozen for a certain amount of time (indicated by an energy bar that you can upgrade during the game). Vertical showers of water become columns that you can climb. Spigots of water turn into horizontal poles that you can jump off of. The rest of the level consists of several different iterations on the freeze-unfreeze concept. So a waterfall becomes a sheet of solid ice that he can wall-run across. In addition to rewinding time, the Prince can freeze the flow of water if you hold the LT button. Once you (re)learn the basic controls, the demo jumps you to the real thing.

(ProTip: the jump button doesn't make you jump to the next ledge it makes you jump to your death from wherever you are.) I actually died a lot just in the opening section, although I blame a lot of that on the learning curve of the control scheme. Yes, it's true: You can die in Forgotten Sands. Of course, since you can run out of rewindin'-time potion, you will die if you eat it too many times.

So if he falls off a ledge and dies, you can just hold the RB button to zip him back up it.
