Prince of Persia: The Two Gameplays
So... this game actually tries to do a thing: Combining the feel of parkour, combat and presentation from Sands of Time with the more... aggressive appearance and combat of Warrior Within. Notice how something got mentioned in both - and same as the combat, this mixture of two games shows even more what the problems with a departure from SoT actually are. While I think that the game in general feels more tighter than WW, it quickly becomes apparent that it is still neither as responsive nor enjoyable to trigger your combat moves. They at least reduced some of the attack possibilities. And added stealth. Yes, it is only repeated QTE, but it is alright. The game does give you a shove to actually use it while being Prince A. When playing as Prince B is where the WW part comes in, encountering hordes of damage sponges you have to eliminate with your weapon. While being on a constant timer during both combat and parkour. Doable, but, as the whole game, not presented to the player in full satisfying fashion. All these, the new mechanics, the parkour additions, new traps and what not, all feel like: "Hey remember stuff xyz from SoT and how it was good "for some reason"? Let's add zyx to that", without getting the same detailed feel. Having said all this, I guess it should not come as a surprise that I believe TT to be the superior game to WW - but only because of the gameplay callback to SoT. Which they actually try to add in a lot (for example the scene after getting the dagger - but even there you can get my drift about how it is not the same polish in design). The thing is: Being better because you try to reach your predecessor, but missing it by a longshot, actually says something. Again, as soon as you stop comparing, however, the game is still solid in all aspects. Nice story, atmosphere and parkour. Combat is fun after getting along with it. So despite some shortcomings, you can certainly have a great time with it. Recommended! 4 stars by comparison, 5 alone.
