An overview of the game's layout
The game has 4 main areas along with a 5th one called the Temple, which is the entry and exit point for the game. Each of the 4 areas has 6 sections and is controlled by a mini-boss. The mini-boss will annoy you once in each section, and in one of the 6th sections, you get rid of him/her for good. Your goal is to get to a certain point in each of these sections (in each area) and "heal" that section. This point is called "fertile ground". To access certain sections, you need special powers. There are 4 special powers, called power plates. You can unlock these by accumulating certain number of "light seeds". Light seeds appear in a section right after you heal that section. The game being non-linear, you can unlock the power plates in any order, visit and heal various sections in any order. Finally, you need to get back to the temple to fight the big boss.
Trophy Resources
If you are just trying to get the platinum (like I was), these are the best resources I found:
Trophy guide:
A complete walkthrough of the game, NOT covering trophies, but showing you how to get ALL the light seeds:
The link above is what I followed throughout, since I didn't want to look for the light seeds myself. Now and then, I made sure I got the other trophies by using the first link.
Tips & Tricks from me
While the trophy guide covers them all, there are certain things I had to learn by myself.
Be Gentle With Her & Speed Demon Trophies
These are the most time consuming trophies, and fortunately are glitched. It looks like these will unlock IF 1) you installed the game patch 2) you let the credits roll completely at the end (until it finishes and takes you to the main menu). People suggest various "procedures" to unlock this, but I doubt if any of them matter. But I did follow one such procedure just to be safe, and here it is - http://www.ps3trophies.com/forums/prince-persia/1269-gentle-her-speed-demon-glitch.html
Climbing to New Heights Trophy
While this should unlock automatically (spoiler ahead) after you kill the Alchemist, it did not for me. Luckily, I had a save game just before that, so I reloaded and re-fought this guy. It looks like the trophies need a moment of "standing still" to unlock. Try to stand somewhere in the middle around the time you kill him. Right after Elika heals him, there is a second or two before which the next cut scene would start. Make sure you don't move around in those 2 seconds - just stand still without touching the controller. This is what worked for me.
Combo Specialist
There is a guy in King's Gate's border who is rather weak and doesn't change forms. He respawns if you kill him, go all the way to the other border and come back. I used this guy to do the combos. I did a few combos before he died, I ran all the way back and came back to find him alive. I did more combos, and so on until the trophy unlocked. Remember to redo a combo if that combo killed him.
Defeating the Warrior
I read that some people found this difficult, mostly because of the button mashing requirement. (may be a spoiler). The warrior has to be pushed off the ledge, and there is a cut scene when you get him to the edge, after which you'll be asked to mash the square button. I found it pretty hard myself since my thumb started hurting after a while and he would regain power. But I found an easy way out - I used my forefinger! Somehow get the warrior's back towards the edge, keep doing Elika attacks until he loses balance. As soon as the cut scene starts, put your forefinger on the square button and wait. It is MUCH easier to hit with this finger than the thumb. I didn't lose a single time this way. Remember that you can do the same thing with other people when button mashing is required.
