Apple Games has stirred the sands of time with an article examining Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. The game features a third-person perspective, special combat moves, and the time bending abilities fans of the series have come to expect. Apple's article includes an overview of the game's features and the history of the Prince of Persia game.

The Prince, however, differs from his selfish alter ego in his ability to carry two weapons at once, including his powerful Dagger of Time. That allows him to perform special fighting moves, although the Dark Prince has unique attacks of his own; both characters share a variety of free-form strikes that you can string together. For example, you can run along a wall and drop onto an enemy or spin kick off a wall or column and deliver a devastating blow. And if you sneak up on opponents while in either guise, you can dispatch all of them with a single slice by activating a Speed Kill.

You’ll learn more about all of those powers as you progress through the game. The Prince’s abilities come in handy as he explores Babylon and makes his way through the palace where he once lived; he’ll need them to activate levers, slide blocks out of walls, and perform other actions. Sometimes you’ll find yourself faced with nothing but an empty room, and you must solve the puzzle that opens a hidden door.
