How to fight in Prince of Persia Classic

prince-of-persia

I picked up Prince of Persia Classic for XBLA which is a remake of an original Prince game from 90s.

I can't figure out the fighting mechanics. There are two buttons – block and attack. I usually block after an enemy starts attacking sequence and then hit attack button right away. This works on easier enemies but not later in the game.

What is the fighting strategy? Are there any other buttons involved?

No. Just those two buttons, as well as advancing and retreating. It's all about timing those four actions together.
