The Prince is back, and it's the same as the last one! Rival Swords is basically Two Thrones from a while back revamped for Wii and PSP. The Wii version is excellent, making great use of the dual Nunchuk control, as you slash your way through mythical enemies in some sort of preposterous story about rescuing a Princess from the ancient city of Babylon. Or is it rescuing a Princess with fantastic Babylons? Either way, it plays beautifully and looks great, and as with the previous games in the series, it's all about fighting, acrobatics and altering time. Which, obviously, is the kind of thing we like. Obviously the PSP game has a more traditional control method, but the beauty is you can take it anywhere!
