In what would appear to be a perfect storm of awesomeness comes a completely surprising release from Ubisoft. Earlier this month we posted some vague details on Prince of Persia Retro [99¢] based on a small blurb and a few screenshots found on the Ubisoft web site. And while I had high expectations of the game, given its classic roots, I never would have imagined that Ubisoft would not only push the game out as a universal iPhone/iPad title on day one, but also launch at 99¢.

In the game, you must save a princess from the evil Persian vizier, Jaffar. You have an hour to do it, and in between you and her are tons of enemies to fight and obstacles to overcome. My initial impressions of the game are positive so far, but like most games designed for physical controls then ported to the iPhone, I have found myself fat fingering some jumps and generally just making play mistakes because of the inherent inaccuracies of virtual controls.

App Store Link: Prince of Persia® Retro, $0.99

A great retro game at a great price.



Just as Prince of Persia unspools in theaters across the country this weekend, Ubisoft shuffles the game that started it all on to the App Store. Prince of Persia Retro is a pixel-perfect port of the 1989 original. You must escape a dungeon within an hour in order to stop the evil vizier from marrying the princess. Prince of Persia was and remains a landmark game. While I appreciate the retro look, I do wish iPhone and iPad gamers also had a crack at Gameloft's Xbox Live Arcade refresh. The game itself remained the same, but the updated visuals are excellent.
