This involves unleashing one-man war on the castle's inhabitants, chopping and hacking through them with any weapon that comes to hand. The Prince's crew and hers clash and the next thing you know our hero's been tossed overboard, where he manages to wash up on the Island itself. On the way to the Island, his ship is ambushed by an army of sand zombies, led by leather-clad warrior woman Shandee, who appears to be a long-lost sister of SoulCalibur's Ivy. The Empress needs a Creative Naming 101 course.) The idea that this might simply cause an even more major breech in history doesn't really seem to bother him. (Perhaps he could take a thesaurus with him. He decides to run, and to fight, and to seek out the Island of Time, where the Empress of Time lives, and defeat her Army of Time so he can go back in time and destroy the Sands of Time before they were created. (From the gravelly and rolling sound of his voice, he sounds as if he's taken up smoking as well.) Having learned from a generic Wise Old Man that he is indeed fated to die, the Prince rolls over and allows himself to be disemboweled for the greater good.
Rugged, scarred, tattooed, and in desperate need of a shave and maybe some moisturizing shampoo, the Prince is in full-on butt kicking mode. When you have a dark and hungry beast pursuing you, giving you little pause for food or rest (but apparently plenty of time to get tattooed), one can perhaps be excused for going over a little dark and gothy. Huge, unstoppable, and equipped with way more tentacles than any creature would need for any useful purpose, the Dahaka has a single mission to carry out: track down and kill the Prince, putting chronology as it should be. The Dahaka is sort of the guardian of the timeline, like reality's Antivirus program. The Prince finds out just what the consequences of winning a no-win situation are when he comes up against the Dahaka. At some point, most likely when he unleashed them and doomed everyone in the castle, he was supposed to die as well.įate really doesn't like it when you pull the low card and win anyway. The problem there is that he wasn't supposed to walk away from his experience with the Sands at all. Having parted ways with Farah, his competent sidekick-slash-love interest during that adventure, he resealed the Sands of Time and went on his merry way. Our Prince has been walking a long, hard road since we last saw him at the culmination of Sands of Time.
I'm not here just to quote web comic lines at you, though. Fan opinion hasn't been kind to this game at all, with the oft-quoted "I smolder with generic rage." line from Penny Arcade summing up the vocal majority's feelings on the Prince's new look. Now, for a couple of reasons this focal shift comes off as a little strange.
