Secrets?

I rented the game last Friday (it's Monday now), and I haven't been able to put it down. Even my 8 yr old daughter loves watching me play it. It's a fantastic game...in all aspects!

Anyway, my best friend and I (we're both women, btw) have completed over 75% of the game without a strategy guide or a walkthrough off the computer. Have we missed any secret rooms, secret items, or anything to that effect?

In any event, I'm buying the game (and maybe ordering the game guide) sometime this week.

Well, I'm off to play the game with my daughter. Peace, ya'll and thanks. *S*

This is one of my favourite games that I've played.
The game is too short and there's no secrets to my knowledge, I hope for the next game they fix this because this is one game I'd love to go back and find every secret.
The good thing about it's length is that you'll want to complete it again and again.
I wouldn't bother with the game guide I usually find them a rip off, but definetly buy the game!!!
The endings really cool as well.

I really liked the game.
I loved the way Jordan made the Persian atmosphere in the game by music, art and language.
I saw the making of PoP: SoT and they said that they made the game in
a way so the player really feels like he or she is in the castle. The fighting style of the Prince were done superb.

I didn't check for the game on IMDb.com before I finished the game. I didn't think it would have it.
When I saw that the voice of the Prince, was played by Yuri Lowenthal, I was suprised!
He made the perfect voice for the Prince. It was very natural.
The challenges were breath-taking and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

By the way, have you been to the Fountain of Life?

"Farrah, where are you?"
"I'm right here."

Rock on...I'm a girl too and this game is freakin' cool. I don't remember any secrets. Sorry. I gotta buy this, I just rented it for my gc.

[–] KatButler 20 years ago

I had a feeling there weren't any secrets b/c you'd think we would've found one by now. I just had to ask, though...just in case. I guess if there were, I would've started the game over by now to get every little thing.

I guess buying a guide would be a waste of $15. I won't worry about getting one.

I am now stuck at the part (after the torture chamber where you have to do all that climbing and jumping...75% into the game) where the fight up at the top is BRUTAL! Both my friend and I tried to beat the baddies for over 2 hours, but finally gave up for the evening b/c we ran out of patience. When our language gets really vulgar and foul (*LOL*), and we're screaming at the TV, we know it's time to take a break!

Thanks you two! Wish me luck b/c I'm going at it again today by myself. Maybe I'll do better that way instead of having someone screaming in my ear! *LOL*

Is that the fight on the Drawbridge? If it is I find that the hardest fight in the game, just use block and I think wall jumping helped me as well.
I'm playing Ninja Gaiden at the mo', it's sorta similar but a rock hard game it kinda makes you realise that Prince of Persia was easy, but I think this made me like the game more because you can keep up with the story and it flows.

I just remembered that you can unlock the first 2 Prince of Persia games, though I think it depends on what system you have it on.

[–] KatButler 20 years ago

It's the part where you're climbing up the inside of a tower that leads from the torture chamber. There are two white switches you pull out of the walls to make these other walls move closer together, then you have to jump up between the walls. Then you jump up onto a beam and get attacked by bats, and you have to jump across the room to another beam, get attacked by bats again, hit two more of those white switches to move two more walls closer together, do the wall jump thing again, then you jump and swing your way on up to the top and outside.

That's where I think the fight is a huge pain in the butt! That's been the hardest fight for me so far. How many of those damn enemies do you have to kill? All of them or just a couple hundred?? Sheeeeeesh! I wish that Farah was faster with that bow of hers so she can pluck those bad guys off faster, but oh well...it's just one of those things I guess. *grin*

I re-rented the game again last night b/c it's not payday yet and I can't buy it. Maybe I'll have to check out Ninja Gaiden like you mentioned, but after I conquer Prince of Persia.

Oh yeah...I have a PS2.

Mothers play computer games? No way!! O_o I'd have to see it to believe it... >_>

Anyway, i'm a guy (18 years old =P) and i think this game is fantastic as well, quite good for a tenner i'd say, and i didn't even buy it...

[–] KatButler 20 years ago

*LOL*

I have 2 teenage sons (almost 17 and 15), and an 8 yr old daughter. We have a lot of fun playing video games together, and for some reason, when they get to a "hard part" in a game, they think I can get through it! *lol* Anyway, they kind of got me hooked, so I went out and bought my own PS 2 and picked up a few games.

You're probably the oddest person i've ever heard of (well, not odd as such, you just seem to break the depiction that i have of certain people =P)... i mean, of course, i'm basing this opinion by comparison to my own mum, and she's the most technically illeterate person i know. Can't using anything electric at all...

Also, i completed this game yesterday with a time of 4hr40min (well, that was the time at the last save point in the game), and i consider that an achievement ^_^

[–] KatButler 20 years ago

Thanks! That's a heck of a compliment! *lol* And I absolutely don't mind beind called "odd" at all. My kids and their friends think I'm the coolest Mom on the block, and I wouldn't trade that for the world.

Wow...4hr40mins?! That is truly incredible! Come to Wyoming and show me and my kiddos how it's done! That is really great!

I'm still working on the game. I'm not that good of a gamer so it can take me a while to conquer a game. I think my kids have this misconception that b/c I'm way older than they are, I should be able to do anything. It's a nice thought, but it ain't true. *LOL*

[–] ultrachronic 20 years ago

The only reason i managed to do it in that time though is cos once i've figured out the answer to the puzzle to certain parts in a game, i remember how to do it and can do it again and again =P It's a talent (I've only actually completed this game twice as well ^_^)

And it's Wyoming that you're from, eh? =P Well, um, I'm from Scotland (yeah, yeah, i do have the accent, everyone asks). Oh, got a picture of me as well, if you're up for seeing it =P (i'm a ninja!)

Awww...Aint'cha cute! *LOL* I love the pic.

The game was conquered last night with all thanks to my Love. I just sat back and watched b/c I ran out of patience for the game a few days ago. *grin*

If/when you come to Wyoming, look us up! I've been to Scotland several times. My dad was in the Air Force and was stationed in England for a little over 6 yrs so we did lots of sight seeing. Scotland and Wales were my favorite places to go.

I'm happy to have had a chance to talk to ya. I think you're adorable! *HUGS*

Heh, if i do ever go to America as well of course... >_>

Going to be starting uni next year (studying Software Engineering, woot!), so most of my time for the next 5 years or so (beginning Oct '05) will be spent on that =P.

I wanna travel the world some time though... i think that would be cool ^_^

[–] alliooprjb 20 years ago

u htink 4 h ours is good.... i loved the game so much that when my cousins came over, i wanted to show them the WHOLE THING....so i beat it in a lil under 2 hours...i believe it is one houre and 59 minutes

[–] voyagerandsouthpark 14 years ago

the last save point on my game is 3 hours 48 minutes, and thats because i've got great reactions anyway, i hate wall jumping down, right near the end i usually die becauuse i get the timing wrong, i've completed it a lot tho, i know a low of ways of fighting which makes it fast, the prison fight is easy now, the trick is knowing their weaknesses, the smaller monsters with chaines can be jumped over, then hit with the sword and stabbed with the dagger, that finishes them off in seconds, the ones with the stone mallets you stab with the dagger to turn them grey, then jump over them and finish them with the sword, you'll get no sand that way but the battle will be fast

"sir, sir, i gotta check and see if you've soiled yourself, I'll get to you in a moment, sir!"

I've got the Xbox version and you only have to complete the game to get the original version.

But in the PS2 one 33% of the way through you get a new sword, you smash a wall and the Prince say's something like "They say this castle was built on an old one."
Cross the next room and you come to a rotatable switch, Directly behind the switch is a breakable wall (it doesn't look it) hit it 3 times and it'll break go in and it'll say "Prince of Persia unlocked."
Move switch to face the room to open a gate and play the Original Prince of Persia there and then or select it from the main menu.

On the Xbox version you can do the above to open the 2nd Prince of Persia.
I haven't tried the above, but I've heard it works.
I've also heard of another secret you can use a code to play the first level of the original game but in 3D!! I'll try and find the codes.

abbafan362003 - I'm glad to hear you completed the game, I loved the ending.
I hear Farah isn't in the next game.

You walk to the front of each door, and listen. If you hear water dripping or trickling or whatever (listen very carefully), then go through that door. You should then come out some other door. Repeat this process with different doors that have that noise, and then view the following semi-erotic scene, before waking up without your sword and dagger...

hope that helps =P
