Product Description
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 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 his darker self is well thought and the story will only make sense if you played the first game.

***Fantastic***
Once again another excellent game!
The third in the story so far and just as good as the previous two.
In this one, the prince frequently mutates into the dark prince. Read more
