A Fantastic Game

This game was great! The creatures really got to me. Like there is one that is like an exploding rabid hound. I mean it literally explodes! My least favorite creature, however is the invisible ninja. It is a thing that really became my arch-nemesis! Back to the review! The beginning cutscene is fantastic! The Prince is being chased by the Dahaka, a black, axe wielding horned monster. He runs inside a city until he comes to a door which is locked. I don't know why he didn't use his swords. He then confronts the Dahaka. I don't know if it was a dream or a vision of his future. He is then on a ship, heading for the Island of Time to stop the sands of time from being created, when his ship is boarded by skull bearing pirates led by a scantily clad woman named Shahdee.{Which describes her fighting.}The gameplay is mind boggling and disturbing at times. Since I got the game, I've been having night visions about the Dahaka's tentacles chasing me! I found out that it was just my black chair legs. I would NOT recommend this game to anyone under the age of 12, and even then, parents, decide if your child is mature enough for the game.

Great Game...free form fighting is cool. Good graphichs and videos...some times it really looks bad on screen. A bit longer to play. Compared to earlier version this has heavy metal background music. As per combact or puzzle environment background music changes. Travelling in time i.e. past and present....is good but it duplicates locations, changes your path to follow.....some places makes it difficuilt to figure out where to go.

Don't even try to play using a key board (if you have a pc version), get a usb controller or may be joystick. I have a usb controller so it was easy for me. At times camera angel changes and messes with controls, makes it difficuilt to control.

Overall great game to play.

Sticky tricky but fun

I am very close to calling the ubisoft folk genius,however they are very flawed in areas of this game.
First off i really enjoyed this game yes the controls suck as i often found myself leaping in the wrong direction and screaming all manner of interesting words at the screen.
One thing that really pissed me off was the music.Here they have gone to all the time and effort to create this beautiful magical world only to have death metal guitars crapping all over it.If they did their homework they would find that a lot of middle eastern styles of music are really interesting and heart pounding.I turned off the music after 5 mins problem solved.
Anyway it looks great and it will certainly test you.

Wonderful Experience!!!!

I have just beat this game a few days ago (thank god)and must report to you good people here at Amazon that this game was a HEADACHE!

First of all, I would like to state that this game is much darker than the first. So dark that you wonder when you will ever see the light again, and is so dark that you feel queasy inside whenever you play it! The heavy metal riffs during battle sequences were awesome at first, but grew old very soon and is often misleading thanks to the horrible syncing with what's happening in the game (it goes on for an extra 3 minutes after a battle sometimes).

POPWW focuses more on combat than the first. There are about a hundred combos you can perform to erradicate your enemies. Which is good, but you will find yourself sticking with only a handful of them. And, this game rewards "button mashing" quite a bit!

The controls in the game are a real kick in the crotch! Especially when you are navigating through a large corridor filled with traps. Example: You want to wall run up to a ledge, but you wall run off the edge instead, which leads to certain death and a painful reload if you don't have any sands left (one of the problems of the game is that you run out of sand VERY quickly).

Perhaps the best thing about this game are probably those "scantily dressed females" (Ohhhh...Kaileena...please be mine someday). Kaileena gives this game the edge it needs. But, if you just want to admire her vibrant, pixel body, I urge you to just type in "Kaileena" in Google image search.

Overall, this game was a huge (let me reemphasize, HUGE) disappointment. GameSpot says this game is hard, no KIDDING! I am playing T2T right now and it is so far THE BEST POP game out there (simply put, it features the best of both games and MORE). I urge you to avoid buying this game at all costs and just read the Wikipedia plot synopsis if you just want to be kept in tuned with the story. Let me just summarize the "Goods" and "Bads" of the game (listed in no order):

Good:
1. Graphics
2. Combat System
3. Heavy Metal Guitars (it would have been even cooler if they had blended the shredding with Middle Eastern tunes)
4. Shadee and Kaileena

Bad:
1. Controls (I shudder at the thought)
2. Difficulty (It's hard even on the "Easy" difficulty settings)
3. The darker theme
4. The enemies take forever to kill
5. Lack of charm (SoT had lots of it)
6. The cuss words you will utter
7. The # of times you will pound your keyboard (I managed to knock out 5 keys in one pound once) and take the Lord's name in vain
8. The deep desire to uninstall the sucker and chuck the package out the window

I'm not sure about you, but I think the bads do overweight the goods. But, I'll let you be the judge!

The Prince is back... with attitude!

The second installment of the Prince of Persia series was a fantastic ride through a dark world of time-travel and Middle-Eastern design and architecture. If you loved the 'Arabian Nights storybook' feel of the first game, I'm sorry but that is gone and replaced by a darker, more mature feel that mixes in combat and an industrial rock soundtrack on top of the already existing puzzles. The fighting system was seriously overhauled in this version, allowing for much more creative fighting. If you liked the first one, you MAY like this one. It may be for the older crowd, but hey! We like puzzle games too!

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 puzzles and intense gameplay. Check it out for yourself!

as much fun as gouging out my eyes with a shrimp fork

according to ubi the game has "An intricate new combat system that lets you wage battles with no boundaries. Manipulate the environment and the enemies themselves to develop your own unique fighting style." Unfortunately this is not true. The game is a console game that was just switched to pc with no thought. There is no mouse look in this game, which means that the game is completely linear. You can only move where the game lets you and are not able to turn the character 360 degrees. The whole point of pc games is that you have more freedom with the characters than on consoles, plus better graphics. This game has neither. It is a shame because it seemed like a cool game, but I uninstalled it 10 minutes after installing it because it was a pain to play.

Good but not great

I have been a fan of Prince of Persia since the first game in the 80s. I was very happy with Sands of Time, the re-starting of the franchise. This game, on the other hand, was good only in parts.
The graphics and combat are very good, as other reviewers have pointed out. However, some sections of the game are incredibly frustrating. There are sequences, especially the ones involving the Dahaka, that require great control in movement. Due to the pathetic camera angles and changing controls (the controls depend on the camera angle) it becomes almost impossible to get it right the first few times. The lack of savepoints at certain areas adds to the overall difficulty. Also, as some reviewers pointed out, the areas are repetitive which makes it very hard to figure out where to go next, also since the storyline is not too informative. There is a great deal of potential in the story concept but it seems too chaotic at times, without proper plotting. The twists are easy to guess. On the whole, I say the game is not bad, but could have been much better.

Well . . .

I don't know. I only got through half of it, because a glitch caused the game to freeze at a certain part. What I saw was alright, but it was so dark that you could hardly tell whether you were walking into a hole in the ground or if it was just the floor. I liked the heavy metal music at first, but it got annoying quickly. Sands Of Time wasn't as advanced when it comes to combat, but it had such beautiful graphics that I spent half the time looking at the scenery. In Warrior Within, it was so depressing and bleak. I know that it was what they were going for, but I still didn't like it.
Dang it. I just realized. I'm using the Kid's Review thing. Um, you didn't see this review. Obviously a twelve or under kid wouldn't be playing an M game. Right.
