More specifically, Princess Yorda's counterpart in Prince of Persia isn't merely a construct for a grand escort mission, but rather the embodiment of the time-manipulation mechanic from previous games -- a character who makes up for the Prince's shortcomings as opposed to enhancing them. Still, Prince of Persia shares some more distinct traits with a different Team Ico game, Shadow of the Colossus, in that each level's often your main enemy. The crux of the challenge falls upon your ability to complete a level using the Prince's acrobatic abilities to solve puzzles and bypass environmental hazards.
