There are few computer games which are very close to everyone's heart and it is not possible to let it go. I am pretty much sure that anyone who has played PC games ever has tried his hands playing "Prince of Persia" or at-least heard about it. It is one of the early DOS based games through which we learnt to fight with the enemies and came to know that computers can also be so much of fun.
Ubisoft (one of my favourite game developer) has launched one of the classic Price of Persia title Shadow & Flame with new age stunning 3D graphics and touch screen friendly controls. Through this post, I will walk you through this fantastic game which I have installed on my Nexus 7. I am sure you are going to enjoy it.

| Pop Shadow & Flame: Launch Screen |
Pop Shadow & Flame in total consists of four worlds as: Palace, Skull Caves, Ruined City and Red Temple that comprises of 14 levels and trust me once you finish this game you will ask for more. You as the Price of Persia starts your adventurous and dangerous journey to save your princess from the captivity of evil Jaffar from the 'Palace' world, traverse to the other worlds and in the end come back to the same world for the final showdown.
Game Play
The game play and controls are quite easy to understand, on the left side of screen slide left and right to move forward and backward, on right side of screen slide up for jump and down for crouch. As you move forward in this game you learn few new techniques of fighting and jumping.
Within the game, you collect coins, health potions and revives. Using the coins you can further buy powerful swords, tricks and also potions. These potions can help you to gain full strength or bring you back to life in case of death.

In this game you fight with different kinds of enemies like guards or skeletons and skulls. You also learn to use some hit combo to hit them hard and save your health and time, as there are objectives associated with each level and time is one of them.

As you complete a level you are presented with options like continue to next level or replay the same level. If you want to play any of the previously played levels you can choose it from the world map accessible from home screen.

I would specially like to mention about the graphics and the locations shown in this game, it looks simply great and have a mystic feeling in it and on high resolution screen it's a treat to watch and play.

The 13th level called 'The Dream' is a tricky level to complete as you are unsure how to move forward because the path keeps changing as you put a step ahead and also the location shown is also quite freaky. Another strange thing is, this level cannot be selected from world map but only be accessed by playing and completing level 12.

In the last level, killing Jaffar is quite a daunting task as he is a deadly magician, but the prince has to do it. Once Jaffar is finished, prince frees the princess and see it yourself what happens after that.
