Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

This is the first video game I've ever rated or commented on, but this game was so cool I had to put in my two cents. I don't play video games much at all, but every two years or so I will get the jones to play a game. I'd say the past ten years or so it has been discouraging because these video games are so difficult to learn and play. I grew up on Atari and Nintendo when you had just a couple of buttons and very simple tasks. Once Super Nintendo came on the scene my video game days were almost over.

Even still, I decided to give Prince of Persia a shot. Bear in mind, I chose this video game solely based upon a t.v. commercial. I'm not in tuned with video games and the latest and hottest, I just pick up what I see advertised. I knew that I was going to have trouble, but I stuck in there and eventually I got the hang of it.... Scratch that... eventually I GOT ADDICTED. I took the game to work, I played endlessly trying to beat that game. I couldn't put it down it was so captivating. The graphics were awesome, the movements were smooth and cool, and the fact that his fighting was hand to hand combat instead of shooting just made it that much better. He had kill moves that could be done with button combos which reminded me of my Street Fighter 2 days, and that speed kill feature is off da hook, crazy nice. There was a good story that went along with the game. The different obstacles and moves were just difficult enough to where I couldn't overcome them the first time around, but they weren't so difficult that I had to give up. Fighting the opponents was the same, and when the prince turned into the Dark Prince the fun was just beginning.

Like I said, I have very little reference for a good game versus a bad one, but this game was lovely. I eventually beat it in what was a short time for me (it had to have been weeks). The ending was even amazing, and I didn't know that games had credits longer than most movies.

its a wonderful continuation of the pop series and presents a befitting end to the series.The prince looks great as ever and the various new features which are present in this game add an extra spice to it.The speed kill system is wonderful and makes the job quite easy for the prince,also in this game i cant recall a single instant where the game presented bad camera angles as are present in the previous two games.The game play is although pretty much similar to the previous two games but the platforming in this one is really great.There is one more added attraction in this game that is chariot racing which is quite nail biting stuff.Also in this game there aren't any monotonous boss fights as were in the pop warrior within.All in all a wonderful gaming experience,a must play for everyone and i give it a well deserved 9.5/10.

The 3rd and final game in the trilogy with a great conclusion to the series and to me it's the second best out the 3 right behind ww, it has the charming and likeable prince of the first game and the dark side of the second.

the game it self is so similar yet different from the other 2 but one of the new things they added to the gameplay is qte speed kills which i was ok with it and i like the fact that the game is pretty straight forward and you don't go back to the same locations like ww.

this was the time when ubisoft knew when to start and when to end the series and it wasn't like nowadays were you get endless ac games with no good story to tell, i hope if some day we get a new pop game they put some work into it and make something good not another mindless cash grab like most of their games nowdays.

This game has much more innovation than WW had, and beats that game hands down. But still, the only thing which is really focused on is the gameplay. And that is where they should focus, the story was incredibly bad. Just continues in the same track as the previous two games, then suddenly at the end, they rush it incredibly to wrap stuff up, and even failed in that. You have the Prince struggling with his dark self this time around, it's not really what you'd expect and is the games weakest points. When you play as the DP, everything feels rushed and boring. New to this game is the Speed Kill system, if the enemy hasn't seen you, you can get behind them or over them, and start a little "timing-mini game" where your dagger will flash for a brief second, that's when you need to press the attack button. This keeps gameplay fresh, and ties it ties in with the acrobatics in order to get a good vantage point. But it's not all good, they were supposed to be angry and aggressive. They were a bit dull with the slow music and didn't really give the rushes it was supposed to. And you never really needed to time them, there were not much variation, and you could easily learn when to press. It was only the first time through that you were on your toes. The music was ten times as good as WW, but didn't quite have the "catchyness" of SoT, say hello to middleeastern music once more. The game looks incredibly UGLY, I know games out in 2001 that looked 20 times as good. There are MASSIVE amounts of clipping errors, and I believe the 2 earlier games in the series looked better. This looked horrible. Even the main weapon is 2D. Little to now replay value however, you get one different code for each cleared difficulty setting. (Easy, Normal, Hard) And they are not really hard to get to. The gameplay is excellent, even though the DP takes it down a bit. If you want to buy this, don't set your expectations too high, and appreciate the gameplay, that's about the only thing they nailed in this one.

The thing i love about this game is stealth killing and prince performing special moves and fighting techniques. the graphics is nice, gameplay is really super and story is really amazing, brings me even more closer to this game. background music and background sound is awesome, many memories related to this game. Best game ever in the prince of persia franchise. I am biggest fan of Prince of Persia.
