Someone who looked just like the Prince ordered to throw him out.
It turns out that Jaffar is alive and back for vengeance.
Banished from the palace, the unfortunate Prince must travel to faraway lands and find a way to defeat the villain.
Prince of Persia 2 is, like its predecessor , a cinematic platformer.
Much of the gameplay is reminiscent of the first game, focusing on precise jumping puzzles, swordfighting, and overcoming many hazards in order to stay alive.
Swordfighting is more prominent and features situations where several enemies attack the Prince at once.
Reinforcements may arrive after the Prince has eliminated all visible enemies.
Like its predecessor, the game must be completed within a time limit.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library.

Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
