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.

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.

POP:TTT is an amazing and truly worthwhile game. The gameplay and graphics are awesome. Not to mention the new characters, as well as the return of some old ones. POP:TTT is a must have!!!!

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!

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.

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.....
