Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Preview: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones has a lot to live up to, in order to satisfy fans of both The Sands of Time and Warrior Within. Although the latter was more commercially successful many have argued that The Sands of Time was the better game, with more involving puzzles and a more engaging main character. This second sequel aims to combine elements of both with the Prince returning to the besieged city of Babylon. In escaping from capture he inadvertently gives life to the Dark Prince – an evil alter ego with quite different powers. As the game progress you can switch between the two characters by stepping into fire, with each using their different weapons in even more gruesome ways than before. The Dark Prince’s Daggertail is particularly deadly, being a sort of long spiky chain with a blade on the end that works rather like the whips from Castlevania. As the latest in a long line of games to take inspiration from Grand Theft Auto the whole game is set within the city of Babylon, which is yours to explore as you wish. Although there are no vehicles to carjack you can take part in some particularly brutal chariot races, if you get tired of walking and jumping around. Whether this ends up being the best Prince of Persia yet rather depends on how much you like The Sands of Time, but it certainly is the most attractive with some superb graphics and enough new features to make Warrior Within seem even more lacking than ever. -- Harrison Dent This preview is based on an incomplete version of the game; features or problems mentioned above may not appear in the finished game. Manufacturer's Description: The Prince of Persia makes his way home to Babylon, bearing with him Kaileena, the enigmatic Empress of Time, and unspeakable scars from the Island of Time. But instead of the peace he longs for, he finds his kingdom ravaged by war and Kaileena the target of a brutal plot. Cast to the streets, hunted as a fugitive, the Prince soon discovers that the Sands have tainted him, too. They have given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him&.

 Rating:  - Annooooyyyyyinnnnng!!!I agree with the above reviewer. Just like some of the other POP games there are several areas that force you to replay certain portions many times over. The part that you get kicked back to usually involves moving through 10 minutes of fairly easy maneuvers - sometimes long drawn out cut sequences as well, which you CANNOT TURN OFF. This usually does not happen until you have invested a a fair amount of time in the game. The pattern is as described above; things are going fairly well, a few puzzles, challenging fights, save points along the way - Challenging yet rewarding. Then suddenly there comes a point where it becomes near impossible to progress in the game. If you do not time your movements JUUUUSSSST SOOOOOO, you are forced to ...

The cut-scene animation is really excellent, drawing you into the story at the start, the same can be said for the in game graphics- simply gorgeous, detailed levels, and the main character animation is really something, full of lots of little quirks and details. So, why only the 2 stars? I had read about the fact there weren't enough save points, but at the start this really didn't seem to be an issue, it never taking more than 2 or 3 attempts to pass a section....however...once things get a bit trickier this proves to be the game's ... Read More: Rating: - Has it's moments - but then all games doThis game has great gameplay, the new speed kill is so much fun and looks terrific when pulled off correctly. The Dark-prince sequences are clever as well as fast paced! However there is one problem I really do have about this game...why could they not keep the cast from the second game. In Warrior Within, the Prince had a voice that says "watch out bad guys I'm gonna wipe the floor with you" but in this game he sounds like a fairy! His mean-ness has gone.... Back to the good-points though. The boss fights are good - even these use the speed kills and again the visuals look amazing enough to make you think "wow i wanna be able to did that!" The dark prince is really cool, the dialogue between the Prince and ... Read More: Rating: - Oh for a quicksave....Misstime a jump. Start again. Get killed. Start again. Misstime another jump. Start again. Get killed again. Misstime the same jump again! Start again. And so on. To hang with it. If you like playing the same section of a game over and over and over and over till you eventually through trial and error get the hang of it then you'll love this. However, if you hate having to replay again and again then forget this rubbish. It's time game designers moved on from this cheap trick to eek out the gameplay and started offering a more progressive and inviting gameplay with lots of checkpoints. The POP games have savepoints at water fountains but there simply is not enough of them. There should be one after every fight. After every difficult set ... Read More: |
