tomb PRINCE OF PERSIA FIRST IN FLIGHT

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

We��ve talked about Farah, the beautiful princess who is somehow immune to the Sands of Time, but you don��t get to spend any time with her in the demo. Rest assured she will play a pivotal role in the finished game. While she��s somewhat, ah, willful, she will help you solve complex, two-person, puzzles, help you take down enemies by filling ��em full of arrows, and offer moral (and sometimes physical) support on your quest. Imagine what Yorda could have done for Ico if she weren��t lobotomized or whatever she was, and you��ll have some idea of Farah��s role. And, of course, the Dagger of Time is an ally of sorts, letting you freeze enemies, speed up or slow down time, even reverse time��s flow altogether. Plus...well, actually, that��s basically it in the ally department. So, yeah, come to think of it, you are pretty much alone. Er...have fun!

Don��t try this at home

In addition to vaulting over his enemies, the Prince can leap off of walls to get beyond the range of the taller monsters or thrust himself directly at them in a deadly lunge.
