Prince of Persia - The Two Thrones

If Prince thinks he has it hard waiting for mum to shuffle off into retirement, he should try being a Prince Persia.

There, the role is less about growing organic jam and having your bum wiped by courtiers, and more about rope swinging, swordfighting and spiked-pit-leaping. Frankly, Charles would struggle. Although we reckon Camilla could probably manage it.

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is the latest and best in Gameloft's middle-eastern action adventure series. It sees you performing your usual leapy fighty heroism in order to defeat an evil Vizier who's trying to steal your throne.

A welcome new inclusion in this game is the chariot racing mini-game that pops up every so often in between levels. You have to ride through the streets of Babylon (why not the rivers, we wonder?), avoiding obstacles and seeing off enemy riders. These events don't last very long, but break up the platform action nicely.

As action-platformers go on mobile phones, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is up there with the very best. It could be longer � experienced gamers will rattle through it fairly quickly � but the visuals and variety show that Gameloft has opted for quality rather than quantity.
