Best Game of the Year

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones deserves five stars: as expected, the graphics, gameplay, and storyline are all great and more than what you would expect from most other games. Some parts of the game remind you of the first two in the trilogy, but there are also some new gameplay added into it, such as the Speed Kill system and chariot races. In my opinion, PoP: TTT is definitely one of the best games of the year, and I think that all fans of the series would agree.

OH MY GOD

I must agree with others on here who gave it a bad review. The game play design is atrocious. I spent hours trying to get him to go over walls and jump zig zag across pits. And even if he falls a few feet, he dies. Isn't the point of a supernatural hero supposed to be they are a *little* more durable than regular mortals? I've gone back to playing God of War over again instead of messing with this anymore.

WOWOWOWOWOW

This is a wonderful return of the series to it's roots. At least for the most part. There are shadows of warrior within but not many. YOu do have to do the dark prince bit. THese parts are fun, but nothing compared to the brilliance of The light prince parts. The light prince parts are just like sands of time. THankd Goodness. Only this time they are better and prettier. yes, I said better and prettier. This game is well worth the price of admission. Buy it and you will love it. THE GOOD PRINCE IS BACK.

One-fourth fun adventure, three-fourths frustrating action

The Sands of Time was perhaps the best adventure game in console history, and one of my favorite games of all time. The Warrior Within was an attempt to cash on in the prestige of Sands of Time by making an action game with the PoP name and interface, with mixed results. The Two Thrones tries to solve many of the Warrior Within minor problems, but in the end, is probably the worst of the three.

First the good. The Prince of Persia series offers the best atmosphere and jumping mechanics in video gaming history. There is nothing more satisfying that moving from one part of the palace to another. The jumps are intuitive, and the scenery is just plain amazing. In this department, it will not dissapoint.

Now the bad. First of all, it feels just like Warrior Within, so it doesn't offer anything fresh. I felt like I have already played this game. It's not as fight heavy as Warrior Within, but it's more of an action game than the previous two, which is PoP's worst aspect.

Yes, you do have the some nice puzzles, and occasionally, a huge room or garden that looks amazing. There are places which require thought and adventure. However, out of the twelve hours of gameplay, this barely compromises one fourth of my playing time. I spent more time total on the second chariot race and boss than I did on all the environment puzzles combined. Not because the boss and race and huge, complex missions, but because they designed so that when you fail late, you have to repeat all the beginning stuff over and over. I almost gave up at the end due to this amateurish game design. It's a classic case of extending gameplay without putting any further effort into it. Pure laziness on the game developers' part, and it shows.

The other times are with the Dark Prince or in missions involving traps and blades. Since you play as the Dark Prince, whose powers constantly dwindle, you need to make fast jumps and quick decisions. Often times I got fed up and used a walkthrough, because I couldn't stand progressing a little further, dying, replaying in order to get slight farther, than dying, then do it again and again. It was so boring. The blades and traps and trial and error jumps get ridiculous near the end and mean a lot of deaths and time rewinds, just adding to the frustration

They also added Quick kill, a sort of stealth killing system for an enemy or two that requires exact button mashing timing. Now, this is a nice idea, but is so finicky and annoying that I just gave up and started killing as normal. Sure, there is much less fighting in the game in general, but the annoyance factor is still there.

Finally, you have boring bosses and repetitive mini-games like chariot races that bore you be it's mediocrity, and frustrate you through it's constant replaying of the earlier part of the fight or race.

This series is trying to be an action series, betraying the bold, yet amazing risk that was the Sands of Time. It may be fun for many quick fingered action game lovers out there, but as a player who values atmosphere and thought more than button tapping accuracy, this may be my last Prince of Persia game.

Pros:
Sands of Time like puzzles
Same PoP interface
Same great graphics
Better music than Warrior Within
Intuitive movements

Cons:
Very unbalanced
Uneven save points
Very tiring near the end
Quick kill is too finicky
Bosses require repetition
Pitch black lighting
Like every other action game out there
Random jumps
Dark Prince is terrible
No reverse Y-axis for the camera
Cliched boss, story, etc.

Difficulty: Medium (Easy level)

Frustration Level: Medium/High

Hours to complete: 12 hours

EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT

This is a miserable sequel to the other PoP games. If the earlier games were worse than this one, then they must have been pixelish boring games. The GRAPHICS are ATROCIOUSLY BAD... When i started, the fire was one massive orange pixel. The cinematics are very visible pixels. And the PoP is a monkey. His arms are very long; down to his legs. I would think after a few games, they would be able to make him the right proportion.
If the graphics aren't a factor to you, then the gameplay might repel you. The gameplay is a miserable, worthless thing. It is all puzzles. If you like that, well have fun with Prince of Big Pixels.

KICK BUTT GAME

We have reached to The Two Thrones

Traveling with the time, no matter having sands or not we have now reached to The Two Thrones.A successful addition in the PoP triology.Playing all the past relaeses and remembring the story line when it comes to T2T, it is simply marvelous.
All those comments that I have read in favor or against this sequal of PoP are like they just dont know that playing PoP is like it is you as the Prince.
Cutting the ong story short, I would say i had a hard time playing 1st boss but after that it was easy to be a Prince that fights tha last boss vizier.
Tips for the 1st Boss:
Get on ramp which comes after 3 daggerpoints and just wait for the flare of speed kill and start speed kill as it appears and that is it if u do it right u make him blind of one eye.
Then get on 2nd ramp and do the speed kill again, dong it perfectly u will make him blind of both eyes and now you r open to attack his feet and thats it for the 1st boss to send to hell.
Rest the bosses are not much harder along with the final boss vizier.
Talking about other aspects I would say a successful sequal and Two Thumbs Up for UBI Soft.I love u guys for doing this.
I love the graphics, I love the sounds and I love the gameplay.

good

I have a list of the pros and cons for this game.
First things first, the story line. Besides coming back from the island of time where at all does warrior within come in on this game. Woop dee doo he mentions 2 things about the island, that is so lame. I am a huge fan of the Warrior within game and this was just dissapointing. In the warrior within the game enviorment seemed to flow with the game as you went through, like it has always been there. In 2 thrones however, did ubisoft put in a few fake jumps? Cuzz I dont think that they put in 37 walls together for the wall jump then slide down just for this game, kinda lame. Next the prince, sorry that I havnt played the sands of time yet but did the prince go through pueberty in this game, hi voice changes a few times in the game,I prefer the voice for warrior within, and what happened to the adrenaline I got from the warrior within? Where did that prince go?
Now about this dark prince. Sure hes extremely cool and hes got distance as a huge advantage but comon, why cant you have just have a one-hit-then-your-done amount of health like the sand wraith has in warrior within before he dies. Its almost like your being timed to do everything with him. And these blocks, why did ubisoft put those blocks in? It seems kinda pointless to put those in. I doubt that the original people who live there actually have those there. Now I did like the free form fighting that they kept but it is repetative. Grap, flip over enemy, wack with sword a few times then repeat. Next the boss battles, I liked the boss battle with the lady but her moves are exactly like shadees in warrior within, sure she has new moves but the combat style they share and the sword and axe guy are nearly impossible to beat unless you already know wut to do, and then theres that huge 20 foot guy with no bottom jaw, every boss battle involves strategy, I hate that, if I wanted strategy I would have kept to final fantasy, I expected too much from this game as I see.

So heres my scores: from 1 to 10
gameplay:8
Sound: 7
graphics:5
Fighting system: 3
Playback feature(reasons for playing again)
: 9
Enemies:10
Boss battles:5
Enviorment:8
Voice over to match lip movement:2
New features not in other games in saga:10
New dark prince:10(hes a natural billy bad ass)
Weapons:1
That sweet daggertail:10
Thats all. I rate on a lot of aspects of the game as you can see.
