Ubisoft's uber-swish Prince of Persia sequel will hit shelves in time for the Christmas pile-up. It's out in the States on December 2, in Europe on December 4, and in the UK on December 5. Thanks to IGN and Eurogamer for the tip-offs.

The latest Prince of Persia runs on a heavily-modified Assassin's Creed engine, with Princey benefiting from a luscious cell-shaded make-over. This time round he'll be going toe to toe with the minions of the evil godling Ahriman; chief among them is the Hunter, a prince transformed into a hideous beast. To stand up to such opposition, the Prince has picked up a new squeeze -- the waif-like Elika -- who can be called upon to dish out magical fire support.

Given its pedigree, we'd be surprised if this wasn't worth your hard-earned dough. Tune in later this winter for our review.

    I'm not liking the cel-shading. I think it was a mistake to go that route. Pass.

    PoP was all about the reality of doing awesome acrobatics imo,giving it a cell shaded look would take away from the experience.I'll be keeping an eye on this one,hopefully it'll work out better than i think it will.
