Prince of Persia: The two thrones was the result of Ubisoft going back to the "More traditional" PoP formula. Warrior within was a "Dark and Mature" design choice that many people complained about so Ubisoft made the next game "More like sands of time" which is great but unfortunately this game lacks some of the things that made Sands of Time so great. Let's start off with the Plot, the plot tries to wrap up and continue the ridiculous plot of Warrior Within and has contradictions and plotholes in the storyline, needless to say that even with this, the plot of this game is OK at best, you will meet some very familiar faces from Sands of Time but the story takes ages to go anywhere so keep that in mind Gameplay wise it introduces new things but lets us down in other familiar ones. The Two thrones introduces the "Dual prince" system which as you progress through the game chances the price and his gameplay styles, I found the "Dark" prince to be much more fun than the normal one but be warned that as you play as this powerful "Dark" Prince, your health Depletes so you have to be quick and think fast. Other additions to the gameplay include "Stealth Kills". Various new acrobatic moves and chariot racing. While the new additions are very welcome, unfortunately the whole experience does not feel as polished, dynamic and fluid as Sands of Time, the game is still enjoyable to play but has many things that slow down the game or make it tedious in places. The Puzzle elements would probably be on Par with Sands of Time. This game however is better than Warrior within as you do not have to revisit old places and backtrack, so that's good. Bosses are more frequent than Sands of Time and they are well designed. No complaints there Graphics wise: This game isn't really a huge improvement over WW or SoT but it's still enjoyable to look at with various effects and cool cinematics, unfortunately the game lacks the attention to detail and polish as Sands of Time Sound wise: Mediocre, Two Thrones has some very good music and effects here and there but the overall presentation is bland and forgettable, the Prince Voice Actor does the job very well though as do other actors Lastability: The game will take you a bit longer to complete than Sands of Time and it has the same "Hidden Sand" for you to find to completely power-up if you feel like going for a second playthrough, nothing too big but it's there Overall: This game is better than Warrior Within but unfortunately lacks the polish and extremely fluid gameplay from Sands of Time. Still, enjoyable and reccomended to Prince of Persia fans 4 out of 5 Star Rating
