Prince of Persia Classic is a remake of the classic side-scrolling Prince of Persia, only now with enhanced character designs, animations and visuals.

In the game players take on the role of the prince and embark on a mission to rescue the princess before she is forced to marry the wicket Jaffar – you have only 60 minutes to do it. The remake retains the side-scrolling gameplay, complete with all the platform jumping, traps and potion collecting, but also adds new traps, puzzles and enemies.

Three game modes are available: Normal Mode saves at the end of each level and gives the player unlimited time to save the princess, Time Attack Mode sets a 60 minute time limit, and Survival Mode sets a 60 minute limit and only a single life.

The game also features 12 Achievements, 200 Gamerscore Points and three online leader boards.

Prince of Persia Classic is rated 16+ and is available now for 800 Microsoft Points.
