The Prince is Back! Wait, what? Just for the Wii?? No!!!

The prince is back. With a bang! This game,not related to the movie that is coming out in May is about to blow us out of our seats, literally.

The developers aren’t telling much but what I do know is that they will be throwing you into a crumbling city full of villains with superpowers. Lots of bad guys, very few good guys, perfect venue for an epic battleJ All we know for now is that he has lost his dagger, and the amazing, gamebreaking ability to rewind time. A genie will accompany you and thought it won’t save you from death, it shows you exactly where and how to go.

Throughout the game, you et slowly and slowly more powerful, gaining powers that mortals dread. Instead of looking for the right path to find your way to the next room, this version of The Forgotten Sands is about creating your own path. The first power is freezing enemies, the second to build a pillar of sand and the third is to create a bubble that surrounds and suspends u

You can only use one sand power at any given time, and there's a quick recharge time in between each use. There are plenty of secret areas and getting to them grants you extra abilities, strength and agility.

Games built for the Wii are done slightly differently. This is definitely the case with The Forgotten Sands. Most of the time, you're using the remote to point and activate plates with your sand power. But in combat, swinging the remote correlates to slashing while using the nunchuk correlates to punching monsters in the face. More powerful foes are highlighted and killing them first awards you with a brutal, gamechanging combo that wipes out everyone on-screen. Use this, rinse, and repeat for the full, bloody effect.

The hint system also helps gamers perfect their sandscore. In addition to retrieving bloody combos, the hint system allows you to achieve team combos that are even more blazingly amazing to watchJ

Similar to the other next generation Prince of Persia games coming out, this one has a distinct Sands of Time feel and look to it. You will hear Yuri Lowenthal's familiar voice as he banters with his genie companion while you make your way through once splendid-looking castles that are now decaying. The game storms the world on May 18!
