In the PS3/Xbox 360/PC game, throughout the game the Prince learns new powers. The biggest new feature is the addition of elemental powers,[11] which behave as power-ups, enhancing the Prince's ability in battles and allowing him to access unreachable areas. There are four core powers in the game: Fire, Ice, Wind and Earth. Each of them translates to a different power during combat, such as the ability to "solidify" water fountains and turn them into climbable columns.[11] Besides these core powers, there are also minor powers, that can be purchased to enhance the Prince's abilities from Razia.[13] These minor powers include a shield and the power to summon small tornadoes.[11] The combat in the game is similar to combat mechanics found in The Sands of Time. The Prince will be able to fight multiple enemies in one battle, up to 50 at once.[11] An important part of the combat is "crowd control" and evading enemies, as well as combos.[11] The Prince cannot block during combat and there are no quick time events.[14]
