In Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia Classic, gamers take on the role of the prince as he embarks on a mission to rescue the princess before she has to wed the wicked Jaffar – all of which must be accomplished in under 60 minutes! Jumping across platforms and avoiding traps, the prince must collect bottles of potions to keep his power bar charged as he duels enemies on his way to the princess.

Key game features include:
* Enhanced character designs, animations and visuals.
* New traps, puzzles and enemies to tackle further augment the classic experience.
* 12 Achievements will be available – ranging from the simple (finding the sword in the first level) to the near impossible (finding all the potions in the game or finishing the game without dying!)
* The title will feature 3 different leaderboards:
— Normal Mode: Complete the game as fast as possible, which saves at the end of each level.
— Time Attach Mode: Complete the game as fast as possible, but be prepared to start from the beginning if you fail to save the Princess in under 60 minutes.
— Survival Mode: Complete the entire game in under 60 minutes… without dying.

Now this brings back great memories! From what little I played, the Xbox Live Arcade has gotten another must-have.
