Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is a great game.

I was hoping the irritating camera issues and visual glitches of the previous two (wildly entertaining) games would be gone... and they are. I am about half way through the game and so far I havent had one crash, slowdown or irritating camera angle jam.

The game runs very well on my Radeon 9800/Athlon 2500/1GB RAM system. The sound and music are top notch and come out beautifully on my 5.1 speaker rig.

The game play is fun with lots of great new moves that add a lot to the puzzles. Without giving too much about the game, the Prince's alter-ego is great fun to play too.

The game is great fun, if you liked the previous two versions, or like platform games, you will love this one!

Star Force or not...

... this game is worth buying. Besides, Star Force doesn't even affect performances of my computer, so I don't care if it's there. In case you do care, you can download Star Force removal utility on their website, and when you're done with the game, just remove it after you uninstall the game. Enough about that, over to the game itself. It... is... really good. It is so much fun to complete a series of acrobatic moves which end in speed kill of an unaware guard or two. Speed kill is definitely the greatest improvement in comparison to the Warrior Within. In the beginning it is easy, and it will work every time, but as the game progresses it becomes more difficult to time it right. There are parts of the game where speed kill is a must or you're not going any further (fight with the first major boss). Of course, you can't dispose of all enemies like that, and there will be many opportunities to practice fighting combos, and you will often have a choice either to charge at guards and engage them in melee, or sneak up on them from above or behind and perform speed kill. A minor improvement is that the prince no longer throws weapons backhand. Graphics, sound, story, cinematics, and gameplay are excellent and the game runs smoothly on my system, which is far from being state of the art or the latest roar of computer technology (Pentium 4 - 1.6 GHz, 512 RAM, Ati Radeon 9000).
Now, just a few cons:
I find it a bit annoying that the dark prince loses health constantly, thus you are always in a great hurry while playing that character, and you can't switch between the characters. The reason is, the game is linear, and the computer just switches from one character to another when necessary. There is no going back or going astray like you can in Warrior Within. (I purchased the Special Edition DVD with all three Prince of Persia games, and I'm playing all three intermittently - WW and TT are significantly better games, although the Sands of Time is quite good as well.)
Save system, although there might be a good reason for it. One could argue that the game may not be as fun and challenging if you could inflict some damage on a boss, press escape, save, and carry on with the fight, or complete a series of necessary acrobatics to get from one place to another with 20 saves.
One could also argue that these "cons" are actually no cons at all.
My recommendation: Buy. Enjoy.

Great Game .......................

This is just a fabulous game and I can't completely describe this game in words.

Prince Of Persia The Two Thrones is the last sequel to the Prince of Persia series. The developers have done a really fantastic job developing this game.

In this game the prince returns to his home city Babylon from the Island of Time,hoping to find some peace.But a surprise awaits the prince as when he returns to his city he finds that his city is under attack and soon he gets shipwrecked and his love Kaileena is captured by the city guards.

Naturally the prince tries to save her but when he attempts to save her everything goes wrong(You will have to see this for yourself).

Now there are a lot of good aspects in the game.This game uses a free form fighting system from the warrior within version so guess what?You can do really cool combos and wreck havoc and confusion among your foes.In this game you can also hang suspended from the walls.

The developers of this game have borrowed some of the features from the Prince of Persia Sands of Time like wall running,climbing on pillars etc.Another great feature that the devlopers have introduced is the speed kill by which the prince can finish of his enemies by executing a succesion of cool moves.

One thing I forgot to tell you is that in this game the prince has an evil counterpart called the dark prince who can defeat just about every enemy.The dark prince is made from the sands of time and continiously needs to absorb sand or kill enemies otherwise he keeps on losing his health.

In short following are the pros and cons of this game:

Pros-
Cool graphics.
Difficult puzzles.
Cool fighting system.
An addictive game.

Cons-
High system requirements.
A little to tough even at the easy difficulty.

Overall I would give this game 98/100.

best gameplay

I have always been a fan of the Prince of Persia titles and had been wanting to get one for myself. This time i managed to do it and it was totaly worthy of the money i had spent.
Excellent graphics, excellent gameplay, innovative speedkill system which is awesome.
This is a must have for all POP fans.
As far as the starforce is concerned , haent had any problem with it, or shud say havent seen it in my system.

The two Thrones is every bit good as the first two Persia's. A well put together game of story,with all the elements every thing you would expect in a top quality game! I commend Ubisoft for their A-1 Quality work! If you really love a good challenge, then do the whole Prince of Persia collection, You will be very Impressed with each game played.

The Prince... Third Time's a Charm!

This game was absolutely fantastic!!! You will be hard-pressed to find a better game that mixes action, puzzle-solving, and a great story along with great graphics (for the year it was made). Buy this game. You won't regret it. I do, however, think it would be best if you played the first and second games before playing this one. If you don't, you wont understand the story behind his quest and the characters.

Play the Prince

This program is an excellent game and has lots of action. I have not been disappointed with ANY of the POP trilogies. They all have kept my interest with challenging puzzels and intense gameplay. Check it out for yourself!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but...

... this game should've been better. I am an extremely loyal fan of this series - in fact, the original game was what I cut my teeth on when I first began to play video games on computers. AND, despite all the nay-sayers out there, I LOVED 'Warrior Within' -- FUN!! (see my review of 'Warrior Within') I really want to LOVE this game too, but so far, I just ... can't.

I must preface by saying I have had no problems with the Starforce issue, so I'm just going to sidestep it -- I'm sure it sucks for some, but I can't relate so I won't comment. What I can comment on is that this game is just too da$% difficult, even at the early levels of the game.

I play a lot of PC games, and really enjoy a challenge (honest), but some of the moves the dark prince has to perform under excruciating time sensitivity are almost impossible and thereby these sequences become more than frustrating. I game to relax, not to lose my temper and feel like pouding my fists on something. I understand why the challenge of *SPOILER* making the dark prince's life ebb away every single second (like the 'wraith prince' in the last game) might've seemed like a good idea, but combining that challenge with having to make split second decisions about where to leap to and learning a completely different set of combo moves whenever the dark prince is in play all while battling really difficult enemies is just too much.

Even when playing as the regular prince, I sometimes need a moment to observe the game world and consider my next move. Playing as the dark prince allows for no such luxury, and unfortunately the level designs for the dark prince are not always so obvious or intuitive. After awhile, it just isn't fun anymore, but becomes tedious and unpleasant.

The chariot and golum-steering sequences are really neat ideas, but again as with much of the rest of the game are just too #$#%ing difficult - it is insanely easy to oversteer and unless you are cheating you will find these sequences consuming unbelievably huge amounts of time to complete properly.

In addition, the boss battles towards the end of the game are flat out ridiculous - boss enemies should definitely be challenging, but if the outcome of the game is for the hero to succeed, success should be POSSIBLE. It's as if the developers think most people have unlimited amounts of time, not to mention patience, to sit around playing and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and rinsing and then repeating for weeks and weeks on end (and maybe some people do, but as a parent of two with a household to run, I DON'T have that kind of time).

After completing this game (which took what seemed years), I had pretty much forgotten all the sequences that led up to the finish because it had taken me so ridiculously long to get there. And then, just to make sure I had evaluated it correctly, I went back and played on the easy setting WITH a cheating trainer enabled and it was STILL RIDICULOUSLY DIFFICULT in many areas, EVEN on the easiest setting and full cheats!! That's insane, stupid, and too over the top. I don't want an epic life-long game experience with this one title - I want to enjoy it, play it a few weeks, and then MOVE ON with my life.

In reading back over this, it sounds like I'm whining, but I'm truly not -- I want other gamers considering this title to know what they're getting into.

All that said, the game is beautiful -- really, it looks insanely cool -- the changes Ubisoft made to the look and feel to appease people who couldn't connect with 'Warrior' were masterfully wrought, the diatribe between the two sides of the prince is interesting and really pulls you into the storyline... all that adds up to a truly enjoyable gaming experience marred by periods of intense frustration. =( Oh, well - I guess you truly can't please everybody. Definitely a good effort, and definitely worth the sale price.

Starforce Protection aside the game is pretty good!!

The pc port of this game has top notch graphics over other versions of this game, but IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT "Starforce Protection" then i recommend the x-box version. This game introduces new elements and takes away previous elements. One of the new elements is the SPEED KILL which I absolutely loved, the dark prince isnt all that impressive infact his combat system is similar to the combat system is GOD OF WAR, so his combat is nothing new. Also this game isnt free roaming like WARRIOR WITHIN its from one point to the next and there is no going back. I actually would of liked free roaming a lot more, because it would of been really cool to discoved all of babalon. By the way I kinda expected a little more from this game after watching the many diffrent cool trailers especially the E3 trailer. Most of the scences in the trailer are NOT IN THIS GAME!!!!!!!!! scenes like when the prince looks like he is in prison and the seen where farah is about to shoot the dark prince with an arrow and there is a lot more just watch some of trailers after playing the game. So i guess there just a promotional tool to attract customers (AND IT WORKED IN MY CASE) Also the prince has a much more charming attitude in this one he is no longer bitter and arrogant which is a step up, but they took one previous element away from this game and that is the RAVEGES OF TIME which was in WARRIOR WITHIN that the time power where the whole screen turns red and you can kill enemies at SUPER SPEED (you guys know what im talking about). That was one of my favorite thing in WARRRIOR WITHIN. THIS GAME WAS A GOOD GAME BUT FOR SOME REASON I HAD MUCH FUNER PLAYING WARRIOR WITHIN. BUT PLAY THE GAME AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF AS FOR ME I LIKE WARRIOR WITHIN!!!!!!!
