As he heads into battle with his father the King, the Prince of Persia expects a traditional clash of armies. However, he is manipulated by the evil schemes of a duplicitous Vizier; and in being tricked, the Prince unwittingly, but undeniably, forever alters his destiny - and himself. For he is no longer engaged in a mere earthly battle - he must now contend with The Sands of Time, the most powerful magic ever released, transforming everything it touches into a manifestation of pure evil. Humbled by his mistake and determined to restore peace, the Prince embarks on an epic quest to recapture the Sands back into the Hourglass from which he set them free. Luckily, he quickly discovers a valuable tool which will be a precious ally - the Dagger. Coveted by the Vizier for its ability to control the Sands, the Dagger enables the Prince to retrieve the Sands from enemy bodies and, in the process, gain a host of powers over time itself that offer the only hope of success. If the Prince manages to collect enough Sand in the Dagger gauge, he can execute five different powers - all integrated into the game in real-time and rendered completely fluid by the development team, using the Jade engine. However, he must wield these powers carefully : they only last for a few seconds, and depend on the quantity of Sands gathered into the Dagger during previous combats, giving a thrilling strategic dimension to the gameplay.
