First off, this game is very addicting and so much fun. Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones really takes you back to what was so great about Sands of Time. One thing I really found enjoyable about this game was the story. You really find yourself attached to certain characters and it brings you into the game. Another great thing about this game is the gameplay, which again brings the player back to the greatness of Sands of Time. One thing I fing great is all the action that is encountered throughout the game. Having the ability to sword slash through enemies gives this game a nice balance. Without this, the game would be purely platform and while this could be fun, it definetely needs the action to keep it feeling alive. The ability to use the quick kills is also very entertaining. The bosses in the game are also fantastic. Each of them are very different in the way you fight them which is something I found to help keep the game fresh. Some are very platform feeling the way you fight, and others are much more action quick kill like. Another cool addition in The Two Thrones is the Dark Prince. Although at times he seems a bit overpowered, the addition of him was well needed and made the game very fun. Overall, I thought this game brought back the feel of Sands of Time and although it still lacks slightly in gameplay than the first, it is still great and definetley better than Warrior Within.

Presentation
The story is great and keeps the player attached to this game. It is truly back to its roots and people who liked Sands of Time are going to love this game.

Graphics
The graphics in this game are very nice and the environments are fantastic.

Sound
The voice acting in this game is fantastic! The music is also great and definitely creates a nice mood for the game.

Gameplay
The gameplay is great! I love the quick kills and they truly add a new demention to the game.

Lasting Appeal
The game feels a bit short, can be beat in 7-10 hours. Although there are unlockables, there isn't that much incentive to play through the game all the way through a second time.

Repetitive and tedious

I agree with other reviewers that the graphics and vocals are good, but I find the gameplay itself less than stellar. For starters, I've always been irritated with games that don't let you save your status whenever you want. Sometimes I just want to get in a quick dose of gameplay, but that's not possible with these games that require you to play through an entire section before being allowed to save. That contributes to the repetitive, tedious nature of some sections. If you get stuck getting through a certain bit of the game, you're doomed to replay much of what led up to it over and over again.

I realize that tricky camera angles are some of the challenges that are supposed to exist in this game. More than in the earlier versions, however, I have trouble getting myself lined up for whatever task. Another tedious element.

I found this game to be more a test of my endurance and patience than actual fun.
