In this latest developer diary for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, you get a nice look at the Prince's new ability to control various elements. Gifted with powers by a Djinn named Razia, the Prince can control earth, wind, water, and fire.
Not just a killer R&B group, the powers are used both in puzzles and in combat. One use shows the Prince freezing waterfalls so he can wall run arosss them, or stopping water spouting from fountains to climb or swing. His wind power is shown for use in combat, picking up enemies and pulling them in before tossing them out in all directions.
The only thing missing here is "heart," a la Captain Planet. A bit disappointing. And on that note, I think we're long overdue for a Captain Planet game. I wonder what Respawn Entertainment is up to?

I never played the previous games, but I may have to go back and do so.
I guess that make me a bad Planeteer.
we had power rangers game, why not a game about Captain Planet
I like the idea of the gameplay but I feel like the Sands of Time saga is getting trashed the more and more Ubisoft tries to fix the problems from it's last installment.
Did you ever play the NES one? considering how big a travesty that was (COLOSSAL doesn't begin to cover it), i'm actually glad that another one hasn't happened so far.
Oh come one! I had the Amiga version...
Hopefully there will be missions where you have to heal the o-zone then make polar bears walk across it, then rescuing dolphins and cleaning the sea in a shitty little submarine.
Or maybe not..
