Unlocking original Prince of Persia games: In the NTSC version of this game, you can unlock Prince of Persia 2. In the PAL version, you can unlock the first Prince of Persia. I believe the unlocking is achieved by: a) completing the game, b) entering a secret room, or c) entering a code on the controller. Can anyone verify all of this and include it in the main article?
I have another idea to put into the critisism section. While being attacked by multiple enemies on the ground there is no counter attack to get back up. I spent nearly 10 minutes after an enemy knocked me to the ground and then before i knew it, ten enemies were huddled around me smashing at me literally 1 second after the other. In this situation the only way to get out of it is to say 'bye-bye',let the prince die and restart the level. (really annoying)

[edit] Criticism/Trivia
This linked text was removed from the Trivia/Criticisms section because User:TotalTommyTerror felt it was uncyclopedic. --Interiot 20:03, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, they were unsourced, so in that respect, I agree. Ideally, critcisms and praise should be more like what Katamari Damacy, Super Mario 64, and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask have. What is kind of sad now is that due to his edit, the article is horribly slanted to positive reviews only. This needs to be corrected. K1Bond007 03:06, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Advertising problems
I remember a while back, whilst this game was new on the market, advertisments on London busses were taken down after they scared a young child. I don't have any source, although I remember reaidng it in a newspapaer. Zooba 14:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- Pretty sure you're thinking of Warrior Within. There were some problems with that advertising campaign. K1Bond007 03:06, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- I can't see anything about it in the article - surely it should be added into it? Zooba 17:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- Are you serious? It scared a young child? Not to be rude, but I don't think it is something to take down the advertisement, just put a different one up.
[edit] Two Daggers. Plot Paradox?
Just a little point that was bugging me. When the Prince, after reversing time to before the sacking of the Maharajah's palace, gives Farah the Dagger of Time from HIS timeline, surely the 'original' Dagger is still sitting safely inside the Maharajahs treasure horde... Since it has yet to be claimed by the Prince. We can assume the Dahaka ate the second one as part of it's 'cleaning up' of the timeline. Any thoughts? CSkankRabbit 00:46, 18 September 2006
- I personally agree with what you just said, but, it seems slightly inaccurate to say there are two daggers, but I get where you are coming from.
- (You forgot to sign your post, so I did it for you.) (This post contains spoilers for those who haven't played WW and T2T (the latter of which I didn't finish yet myself).)
- I don't think you can just assume that, not add it to the article either; see Wikipedia:No original research. Since the Dahaka is destroyed, does that mean it never existed, since it can travel through time? What is there to stop it to show up in the future as its younger version? It's better than my first theory, that the Dagger exists sort of "outside of time". The other Dagger in the vault was automatically erased as soon as the Prince appeared again in this part of the timeline. Of course that way Farah shouldn't have known it existed, and it's also incompatible with how the Medallion works in WW. After all, the Medallion exists twice during the period the Prince wears the Mask. Then again, the prince doesn't exist twice either after rewinding time (the entire SOT game) and ends up back in his time. Of course the Dagger and Hourglass could simply work in a different way than the Mask... actually that's pretty obvious, considering which exact powers the respective items has, so not necesarily a plot hole. In T2T the Prince still has the Medallion (for a very short while), but shouldn't the Vizier have found it on the Island of Time in the new timeline along with the Dagger and Hourglass? Maybe it was just hidden (better). In short, when it comes to time travel there are usually plot holes, especially considering people disagree on how it works, and even if a certain way is assumed there are usually inconsistensies.

I personally agree with the "outside of time" theory. It's really the only way he could retain the dagger after the Grand Rewind. Frankly, it is a bit of a paradox, but the game is at its climax in that sequence, so the gamer can suspend disbelief.
[edit] Movie
Perhaps as it gets closer or more information is added about the movie, it should be moved to its own page. PureSoldier 03:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Life/HP Upgrade
What the heck are those strange fountains? They don't really seem to exist in actual reality. In The Two Thrones you return to this place once. It seems to have a connection to his other personality. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.231.225.10 (talk) 06:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Mergers
Someone wants to merge 4 articles into this one but fails to state reasons for it. I suggest a discussion about that here, myself advising against it. This article is about the first game while the proposed articles to be merged into it are valid for all 3 games of the trilogy and are complex enough to exist as seperate articles. --SoWhy Talk 14:56, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
