A Return to Excellence

Having played the original 1989 game on PC for years I was amazed with Sands of Time. Warrior Within seemed to depart from the original tone of the story. While the game play was excellent Overall it didn't feel like Prince of Persia.
The Two Thrones is an amazing chapter to the story of the Prince. Drawing on themes of the original game it feels right at home within the Prince of Persia world. The story of reclaiming your kingdom and the added feature of a Dark Prince are excellent homage to the original. Incorporating the new fighting style of Warrior Within the game looks more like Sands of Time. Best of both games.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!

In my opinion, the Prince of Persia Trilogy is the best game series. Period. Regardless of the great graphics, fun gameplay, and incredible control, the storyline is just amazing. There are few games enjoy playing over and over once I beat them, but aside from Resident Evil 4 (10 stars!!), I have played this series through twice already, and I know I will do it a few more!

Terrible game

The third game offers nothing new or exciting enough to warrant a third visit to this series. Everything could've ended fine with the second one, but instead Ubisoft had to poop out another Prince of Persia game, in turn creating the least fun version of the series. Get Warrior Within or Sands of Time instead.

Ok... finally received the game and the kid loves it! Not quite certain who was responsible for the very long delay in shipment. Could have been Post Office as another product I received also arrived late. Outside of the late receipt, no complaints.

Great Fun

I am a big fan of the free range/hand-2-hand fighting with swords and no guns or upgrade that makes you the baddest in the game (even though you are in this game). The grafics may have taken a turn for the worse in this game over The Warrior Within such as bad character grafics but don't let it overthrow the great landscape and area grafics. For some reason the enemies have better looking grafics that the actual characters in the game. But it is much better than POP: The Sands of Time. The story is kind of a replay. In the first game you open the sands of time then try to stop the Frezeir from getting the dagger of time. Then in the second game you go to stop the sands of time from being created so that the prince can save his own skin. Since the sands were never created then. he returns home with the maker of the sands of time and is met by the frzier who now has the dagger but no sands, then gets the sands, and becomes immortal. so basically the first two games were a waste of time. Story Wise. They are very good games. The greatest thing about The Two Thrones is the ability to play as the Dark Prince. The only down side of this dude is that you only get to play as him five or six times throughout the whole game. But he is still freaking cool. Great Game

Wow, Ubisoft does it again! I can not believe ESRB gave this game Mature because of Nudity. Theres not nudity at all. The graphics are amazing and very intricatly rendered. Gameplay is very decent too. The acrobatic manuevers are cool, but take sometime to master. What I love about this game is the Dark Prince. He is the embodiment of the negative traits of the Prince(wats the princes real name??). He also weilds a dagger-like weapon similar to Ivy's in SoulCalibur. He can do much more damage and acrobatic manuevers than the Prince, but he slowly loses health. The storyline is average, but overall I give it 4 Stars.
Well Done Ubisoft.

The final chapter is a blast

Having played all three installments of the new Prince of Persia trilogy, Two Thrones is definitely the most balanced and entertaining of the bunch for me. It basically recaptures the charm and beauty of the first game, Sands of Time, and mixes it with the graphical detail and refined gameplay of the second, Warrior Within. It also throws in several of its own improvements and innovations, and ties up the storyline in a very clever and satisfying way.

The Prince has returned home to realize that his adventures have undone the good he has accomplished, and that Babylon has been taken over by the evil Vizier. Ubisoft took what was basically an "indoor" game engine and convincingly created a vast city with it. The Prince can still run along walls, hang, jump, flip, and do all kinds of physical tricks to get through environments. Combat still suffers from enemies unfairly ganging up on you, but a new quick kill system lets you polish off enemies with a little cleverness and good timing. It really keeps the fighting from bogging down the game.

Like Warrior Within, you also get a second version of the prince to play with, the Dark Prince. He carries a chain whip which is very effective in combat, and also provides new ways to get through areas. These sequences are not as time sensitive as in Warrior Within, and mix up the gameplay without being frustrating. Again, Ubisoft refined it until they got it right.

Besides this, there are some inventive boss fights and chariot riding sequences to keep things exciting, not to mention unlockable goodies for collecting sand. Two Thrones might feel like the easiest of the bunch, but it should be if you've mastered the first two installments. I love this game for both its storytelling and its gameplay, a rare combination. If you haven't touched this series at all, start from the first one and work your way up. If you've played the others, it's worth going back to Persia again to see how it all ends.

Dont Get it if you didnt get sands of time

PoP is a great series of games which has come a long way (technically speaking). in many ways, you can't go wrong with any of the four games now out there. the focus on dexterity makes them fun in the spirit of the original. but The Two Thrones continues a theme that began with the sequel: a lack of attention to gameplay.

The Two Thrones doesn't seem to have as many stranded-in-the-game bugs as The Warrior Within. it does, however, suffer terribly from the problem of rotating view and view-dependent movement. I've gotten so tired of dealing with the controls not keeping up with the orientation of the camera, that I've put the game down -- I just can't take it anymore!

a few others: the Quick Kill feature is pretty contrived; hiding necessary life upgrades(!?); a really lame permanent weapon; and boring puzzles.

I think I'm going to pull out my SNES and plug in the original.
