Prince of Persia: Two Thrones picks up the incredible action and adventure of the series with an all-new chapter. The Prince has returned from his adventures with his love, Kaileena. Instead of the peace that he longs for, he finds his homeland ravaged by war and the kingdom turned against him. The Prince is captured and Kaileena has no choice but to sacrifice herself and unleash the Sands of Time to save him. Now a fugitive, the Prince discovers that past battles have given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him.

Summary: Superb!
Comment: This is an excellent game. I truly enjoyed this game. It is the culmination of the Sands of Time series. It is also my favorite game in the series. I really enjoyed the innovations in game play. The graphics are great, and the cut scenes are spectacular. The story is rich, and there are elements from the Sands of Time and Warrior Within present in the Two Thrones. I seriously recommend this game to all those who played the first two games. Prince of Persia is the greatest series of games to ever be created.

Summary: An excellent variety of gameplay
Comment: Just as a disclaimer, I write this with no experience or knowledge of the other two games except that which I can discern from this game... and also having beaten Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones twice.
My friend and I had never seen technique like this before... We've played splinter cell, spartan, halo, and many other games of different degrees of fighting and/or stealth skill, but this was truly unique. For those of you who've played these games, The Two Thrones is like mixing Splinter Cell stealth and acrobatics abilities (only better) with Spartan fighting abilities. The speed kill qualities, the acrobatics, the general fighting, the plot... it was all incredible. Also, the addition of a dark prince alter ego was quite enjoyable (I mean, how cool is it to have a dark warrior with glowing eyes and markings fighting with a bladed chain?). Being able to jump around, flip and do acrobatics like an olympic gymnast and flip, toss, slash, and kick enemies made the fighting scenes great! Finally, the sand powers were a great addition to the prince's arsenal (though, I can't compare them to those of past games).
However, as always, games have their downsides... Those of this game include the following... a few of the "puzzles" of this game were overly simplistic and some were just annoying. There's one puzzle in which you have to adjust the levels of three platforms in order to raise another larger platform... so I was staring at this and I thought "well... let me try to raise them all as high as I can, 'cause that's the only thing I can think of." Sure enough, that was the answer. Not exactly a "puzzle" is it? It seemed just to be a long, time-consuming prcedure. I felt the same for another puzzle-like thing that included moving a statue around... it was so annoying and definitely made that level much less enjoyable (thought, the fighting sequences to follow made up for it in my mind). Finally, thought this is more of a gliche I've heard about and experienced only once, it seems to freeze up very very occasionally (I think it has to do with ladders in the game). I've played it twice and for many hours and I've had it happen only once, so if you save at every point, it shouldn't be too bad. It might only occur for the Xbox (as I've heard).
Overall, this is an incredible game for those of you who like fighting with strategy and acrobatics in your games.

Summary: Repetitive and tedious
Comment: I agree with other reviewers that the graphics and vocals are good, but I find the gameplay itself less than stellar. For starters, I've always been irritated with games that don't let you save your status whenever you want. Sometimes I just want to get in a quick dose of gameplay, but that's not possible with these games that require you to play through an entire section before being allowed to save. That contributes to the repetitive, tedious nature of some sections. If you get stuck getting through a certain bit of the game, you're doomed to replay much of what led up to it over and over again.
I realize that tricky camera angles are some of the challenges that are supposed to exist in this game. More than in the earlier versions, however, I have trouble getting myself lined up for whatever task. Another tedious element.
I found this game to be more a test of my endurance and patience than actual fun.

Summary: Excellent Game!
Comment: So, if it's such an excellent game, why 4 stars on "fun" rating?
Well, it's a very very fun game, but some parts can get annoying and aggravating. And it seems as if the different levels of difficulty are achieved by handing you less and less health upgrades, which is kinda cheap, if you ask me. They physically limit you, instead of strategicly doing so.
But everything else is great about it. Graphics are great, not excellent, but great. Sound is great too. Gameplay is excellent and the story is very well developed. Kinda on the easy side in normal level, though. But, I guess nothing is perfect.
Go ahead and get this one. It's worth what it costs.
