Just as a disclaimer, I write this with no experience or knowledge of the other two games except that which I can discern from this game... and also having beaten Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones twice.

My friend and I had never seen technique like this before... We've played splinter cell, spartan, halo, and many other games of different degrees of fighting and/or stealth skill, but this was truly unique. For those of you who've played these games, The Two Thrones is like mixing Splinter Cell stealth and acrobatics abilities (only better) with Spartan fighting abilities. The speed kill qualities, the acrobatics, the general fighting, the plot... it was all incredible. Also, the addition of a dark prince alter ego was quite enjoyable (I mean, how cool is it to have a dark warrior with glowing eyes and markings fighting with a bladed chain?). Being able to jump around, flip and do acrobatics like an olympic gymnast and flip, toss, slash, and kick enemies made the fighting scenes great! Finally, the sand powers were a great addition to the prince's arsenal (though, I can't compare them to those of past games).

However, as always, games have their downsides... Those of this game include the following... a few of the "puzzles" of this game were overly simplistic and some were just annoying. There's one puzzle in which you have to adjust the levels of three platforms in order to raise another larger platform... so I was staring at this and I thought "well... let me try to raise them all as high as I can, 'cause that's the only thing I can think of." Sure enough, that was the answer. Not exactly a "puzzle" is it? It seemed just to be a long, time-consuming prcedure. I felt the same for another puzzle-like thing that included moving a statue around... it was so annoying and definitely made that level much less enjoyable (thought, the fighting sequences to follow made up for it in my mind). Finally, thought this is more of a gliche I've heard about and experienced only once, it seems to freeze up very very occasionally (I think it has to do with ladders in the game). I've played it twice and for many hours and I've had it happen only once, so if you save at every point, it shouldn't be too bad. It might only occur for the Xbox (as I've heard).

Overall, this is an incredible game for those of you who like fighting with strategy and acrobatics in your games.

Well

The graphics are good indeed. Running past razors and pressing buttons was cool in the first one,got old in the second one, and again is very old in the third one. Do not buy this game rent it only. You do the same exact things your doing in the first and second one except different levels. The big new adding to the game is the transformation to some ugly monster dude. Its really annoying because you constantly lose health no matter what when your him so you have to keep collecting sand orb thingies to replenish it. Once again as in the second one your boat gets all messed up. the game is good for awile but its one of those game you play 15 minutes then put it down.

The end of the Sands of Time

I really loved the first two games and like this one quite a bit but a few things really irk me but first the good.

The game virtually plays exactly like "Warrior Within" with added features like being able to stick your dagger in the wall and hang there and use it to gain access to new areas etc.. The stealth kills are also a bonus as you can choose to dispose of your enemies this way or you can go the old route of "Warrior Within" and slice and dice. The graphics are on par with "Warrior Within" and the game still has that "darker" edge to it with gore etc..

On to the bad....
One of the few things I absolutely hate about the game would definitely be the new "chariot race" idea as it doesnt fit in a prince of persia game first of all and second of all they could have just added more puzzles in its wake, but Im sure some people will like that change but I simply "HATE" it.. if your timing is off even a tad BOOM! You have to do it ALL over again from the beginning!!! The other thing is that the 'Dark Prince' is a cool idea and I DO like it to a point but 1. The daggertail and moves of the Dark Prince directly rip off God of War's Kratos and 2. Your health depletes as you play as the Dark Prince and have to keep on the move to survive, nothing sucks more than being in the middle of a puzzle and dropping dead due to this....and, now there is nudity..yep...nudity?!?! Its a VIDEO GAME it doesnt need nudity, seriously...it's very odd for a video game. With these gripes up there the story is still intriguing along with still having that "prince of persia" feel to it but what made the first game so amazing was being able to generally take your time to figure things out and now youre forced to move or die with the "Dark Prince", I mean you had the "Dahaka" in "Warrior Within" where you had to run like your life depended on it(because it did) so in general they kept up with that with the Dark Prince idea from "Warrior Within"...I found the game to still be very fun and intriguing even with these minor"quirks". If you liked "Warrior Within" you'll like "Two Thrones".
Bottom line, its the end of the "Sands of Time" series and It could have been a bit better without these issues but in the end I give it 4.5 stars its still got GREAT graphics, personality a great fighting engine and fun puzzles I just simply LOVE the "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" series so much that it hurts to see it end and now we'll have to wait for the next gen systems to possibly play another one.....

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is a great game. The best features are the speed kills and the daggertail! If you loved Warrior Within, you will DEFINATELY love The Two Thrones.

Splendid!

This game is totally rad! The stealthy action is awesome. The gameplay was tweaked when you now can play as the Dark Prince as well as the regular prince. Dark Prince has an awesome chain thing that comes out of his arm. SICK!

Have fun playing!

The final entry in the "Sands of Time" saga is here.
On a journey homeward bound, the Prince finds out his home has been taken under seige.
Sadly he has lost everything. Yet now determined to take back Babylon, and save his land & people.

Play as the Prince, obtaining new fighting techniques. And don your blades as you fight various foes.
Plus use the sands to aid you along your quest. Or play as his darker entity, the "Dark Prince".
Using the Dagger of Time & chain whip, using unique combos on your adversaries.

The gameplay in Two Thrones is second to none. Take back the land of Babylon by taking down various foes with brutal combos, or use the new "Speed Kill" system. Survey Babylon across rooftops, lower streets, and catacombs. All the awhile avoiding pitfalls, traps, and many obstacles along the way.

The story is very compelling, and keeps you motivated as you progress.
Narrated by the Empress, and also told by the Prince himself. And as it unfolds, you'll take part in an exciting quest.
With an an orchestral soundtrack conducted by Inon Zur, and original music by Stuart Chatwood (The Tea Party).

This game is not to be missed.

My favorite type of games are stealth game with good graphics and excellent free form camera angles. In other words Splinter Cell. Anyway, the new stealth element to Prince of Persia and the improved camera angles go along way to making this one of the best and funnest xbox games ever. You can take your enemies by suprise now; it no longer has to be just a button mashing game. Also the usual puzzles that are in all POP games are fun as well. Give it a try.
