It's a decent upgrade to a classic sequel, but it's one that hasn't quite found the way to highlight what made the original sing. Without new content added, there's little to find or do by exploring hidden corners and distant passageways. It's an approach that feels thoughtful but one that also begs the question of why.

The result is a game that actually flows a bit more smoothly and allows the player to explore at their own leisure. It's a move that's made the game less challenging but one that's also made the challenges less arbitrary. The other major change from the original is the removal of a set timer in lieu of an approach that favors exploration instead. Both characters and animation come across as blocky, and they've aged poorly even over the course of just a few years. This latest update trades these in instead for a more generic quasi-three-dimensional approach. The bright colors, distinct lines, and extravagant architectural design of the original's art style remains a classic today. The graphics are the most obvious change put in place, and they're unfortunately a fairly significant downgrade. The core experience here is the same as it was in the 1990s, but the developers have made a few changes for better and for worse. This series has always been more about environmental puzzles and extravagant acrobatics than combat, and the navigation is fortunately strong. While perfectly competent, they seem a bit unnecessary given how good the core control scheme is.

Traditional on-screen controls are also available. In the game, Prince returns to his hometown of Babylon with The Queen. Simple gestures allow you to adjust the prince's movements on the fly - and when you get used to it, it really helps you feel like the swashbuckling hero the prince is supposed to be. I am a huge PoP fan and The Two Thrones is actually my favorite game in the series. This port similarly innovates in the ways that it makes that smooth and fluid movement map effectively to the notoriously fickle demands of touch controls. When the original Prince of Persia was released decades ago, its use of motion capture animation and a storybook art style wrapped players up in a cinematic experience that was in many ways the first of its kind. By modern standards it might not be exactly riveting, but it provides a reasonable scaffolding to hang some interesting character and setting designs. You're the Persian prince in a fantastical version of medieval Persia, and your identity has been stolen by your sorcerer nemesis Jaffar.

More accurately, the developers have taken the general ideas behind the original and essentially set off to create a new and modernized spin on the premise.

The original sequel to the classic action-adventure game has been remastered and adjusted to play on your Android device.
