His wishes are predictable: a kingdom of his own to prove his worth to his father, and a princess to marry.
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.
Zhara states that the Prince will have to prove his worth in order to earn his kingdom.
In Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands , the player controls 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.
Zhara helps the Prince in his adventures, offering advice, riddles and history lessons about the kingdom of Izdihar.
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.
Non-playable characters include people from the kingdom of Izdihar.
A corrupted king, his daughter Nasreen, and multiple minions that once were human but now wear masks in a useless effort to hide their mutations caused by the evil plant Haoma.
The game uses the Wii motion controls extensively in all sorts of ways.
Movement is generally achieved with the thumbstick located on the Nunchuk, with options to roll, jump, and use magical powers located on the Wiimote.
The pointing ability of the Wiimote is also used to solve puzzles, activate gameplay elements and attack enemies.
In combat, the motion-sensing abilities of the Wiimote and Nunchuk are put to use, using simple arm gestures to make the Prince do a variety of attac
About Xbox 360
Microsoft's second console, the Xbox 360 (2005), is remembered for popularizing online multiplayer through Xbox Live and for a notoriously high hardware failure rate (the "Red Ring of Death") — which ironically makes well-preserved, working units and complete game cases more collectible today. Physical 360 games are still generally affordable, though limited Kinect-era peripherals and bundles are becoming harder to find complete.
Gamevaro tracks Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands for Xbox 360 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. 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.
Adding Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This X360 release dates back to 2010.
