Game description: Hunted by Dahaka, an immortal incarnation of Fate seeking divine retribution, the Prince embarks on a new journey on a cursed island. Only with courage and the mastery of new combat arts can the Prince emerge victoriously. As the Prince, you can develop your own fighting style by manipulating the environment and the enemies. You can even use new projectile attacks and Sands of Time powers to rid the lands of deadly monsters.
Set seven years after the events of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the Prince finds himself constantly hunted by a terrible beast known as the Dahaka. The Prince seeks counsel from an old wise man who explains that whoever releases The Sands of Time must die. Because the Prince escaped his fate, it is the Dahaka's mission as guardian of the Timeline to ensure that he dies as he was meant to. The old man also tells of the Island of Time, where the Empress of Time first created the Sands. The Prince sets sail for the Island in an attempt to prevent the Sands from ever being created, an act he believes will appease the Dahaka.

Europe v02.00(14/06/2004), Recommended + MTVU, Automatic Game Fixes, The game is only (in theory) playable if you apply 4gb patch and play in Software mode. D'oh. Speed is painfully slow in both modes - 15-25 fps., Hardware has empty black space instead of 3d geometry, you can only see HUD and menus. Software mode has screen flickering with green with console spamming GSdx: out-of-memory, texturing temporary disabled. The latter is fixed by 4gb patch.

Game starts and runs without black screen, but in gameplay there is a 'double' ghosting effect on all game objects. Running at native resolution in hardware mode still shows this. Only proper way to fix this as far as my testing goes is using Software renderer. Prince's armour also glitched, fix by setting renderer to OpenGL (Hardware) and Blending Accuracy to High. theOG123
