Gameplay & Core Systems
Zhara guides the Prince to the lost kingdom of Izdihar, where it does not take long for the Prince to realize the treachery: Izdihar is in ruins, overrun by mutant vegetation, and all its inhabitants have been corrupted by a master-plant known as the Haoma. In Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands , players control the Prince as he runs on walls, climbs, fights enemies, uses magical powers, and generally parkours his way around obstacles and traps. He is accompanied by the genie Zhara, a fairy-like djinn that can be controlled by a second player. If controlled by a player, the genie can freeze enemies in combat, slow down traps, and do magic to help the Prince in his acrobatics. The game uses the Wii motion controls extensively in all sorts of ways.
