Underlying details

Prince of Persia looked like a fun yet rather tricky game, I especially found it funny that a game which has a main character that is Persian stills speaks with an English accent, maybe it was to make him sound more sophisticated, that or the research team did a very bad job!

It is hard to comment on the culture of power of the game as during the class I was able to see so little of it as we restarted the game just as we moved into the second level. Yet from the first level it was noticeable that there were no women portrayed which reflects that once again men are in a position of power and also grasped from the first level is that the Persians are in power as they seem to be demolishing the Indians, yet this could be subject to change later in the game as a cut scene suggested that an Indian was in charge of the Persians actions, telling the King of Persia where the treasure vaults were, maybe suggesting that he is one of the power elite and is actually calling the shots, yet I will have to research the game further to find out if that is the case.

Ethnic tensions were suggested within the game as there was two waring factions in the shape of Persia and India. The clothing in the game also suggests that the Persians were in power as their officers were dressed in full suits of armour and their soldiers had matching uniforms that were in good condition in comparison to the torn ragged clothes worn by the Indian troops, which varied in colour and style showing no formalities.
