when the Prince is moving, in combat, swimming, on a moving platform or during a
cinematic. There is visual feedback when a save is successful or not.

Deleting a Saved Game: To delete a saved game, highlight the game in the saved
game window and hit the Delete key to remove the game.

Game Options:
Reverse Controls while backing up
Level of Difficulty: changes to this setting take effect next level or load
Gore Setting: toggles the level of animated violence depicted
Gamma: if your video card does not support gamma adjustment, the gamma slider
option will not be available.

that DirectX is installed on your system, and that your card is DirectX compatible.
