The countdown is on - the Princess has been stolen by the evil Vizier and you only have 60 minutes to rescue her, starting from 10am BST on Wednesday June 13! That's right, the game that single-handedly revolutionised videogame animations, Prince of Persia, is coming to Xbox Live Arcade - and it looks silkier than the Prince's pantaloons!



The original Prince of Persia was released back in 1989 and helped pioneer motion capture animation by basing all of the Prince's movements on real physical motions. The result was a main character who moved more smoothly and realistically than anyone had ever seen. The gameplay was also pretty novel - as the Prince you have sixty minutes to run, jump, climb and fight from the dungeons to rescue the Princess. The replay value was brilliant because you could go back and try to hone your progress through the game.

The Xbox Live Arcade version features enhanced visuals (which look absolutely gorgeous), new gameplay modes, and some new traps and enemies to revitalise the experience. It'll cost 800 MS Points, or there'll be a trial version to try for free.
Here's the details from Ubisoft's press release:
