 Speed kills August 23, 2008
This has to be the most frustrating out of the Prince of persia series. The game itself can get to you performing a speed kill on your enemys is so annoying the long jumps the health up grades. I found my self yelling and curing at the tv when i did not do a speed kill right timing is every thing. I hope the new prince of persia game is great not frustrating to play i hope it is better than the rest of the prince of persia games out there.
 Better than the first and second!!!! March 3, 2008
One of the best action/adventure games out there. Since I recently finished God of War I and II, I needed a new fix until the third one comes out. Prince of Persia was my next conquest. The first was a lot of fun, the second was pretty awful or at least a great step down from the first (tried to appeal to devil may cry users; as in loud obnoxious rock music, S&M fighter chicks, and a really cocky main character), but the third is much better than the second and few steps better than the first I have to admit. The first was like playing a souped up version of Aladdin, enemies were quite weak, and so was the prince (one fall meets your doom). The second has a game ending glitch (Player BEWARE), which prevents you from reaching the final boss; what is the point of going through the entire game if you cannot finish it?! Not to mention all the awful changes trying to make Warrior Within "hip" (Alien voices for the enemies -- creepy, ridiculous, and tasteless -- what were the creators thinking?!). Clearly I've digressed. The point is Two Thrones is a must play. You'll enjoy it better than the first!!!
An offside reveiw February 29, 2008
Hmmm, this game was quite the adventure for me. The Two Thrones is (likely) the last game in a (as I said before 'likely') trilogy. In this game however, instead of the usual 'hack, slash, jump, avoid, solve puzzule, repeat' you get a rounded out gaming experience.
The Pros: New way to kill your enemy(s)! In this game, you get this thing called 'The silent Kill'. This is really a change from the games predecessors, in which you would not have any sence of surprise what so ever. When you sneak up behind an enemy, the edges of the screen will get blurry, thus signifying that you can enable the Silent Kill. I wont spill anymore about it, just that you cant get too eager with the controls, wait for the dagger to flash (you'll learn this in the tutorial) and ONLY THEN will you press the square button. This will be a boon to your success in the game.
Next: The Dark Prince. The Dark Prince is something much different. He is an alter-ego if you will, of the Prince. Your combat is much more fun when you play as him. He can be used to jump large gaps, and runs greter distances on walls. The cons with this feature is that his health declines even when you are not in battle, slowing down time does not help, it just wastes sand. Therefor whenever you see something smashable (i.e. A vase, or a chair, or something), smash it, for, whenever you recieve sand, Darky regains the health he lost.
Last up for Pros: Puzzels. Unlike in the first game when you had too spend over three months frustrating over a 'simple' puzzel, the ones in this game are much simpler.
The Cons: The Prince. I know you've probably fallen asleep once or twice while reading this, but hold on, I'm almost done. The Prince is a broody piece of work in this game. It's kinda annoying that whenever something about is past shows up, he gets REALLY tense. Ugh...
So...thats pretty much it. The graphics were nice, the camera work was better as well.
Enjoy the game!
 Prince of Persia 3 Review January 22, 2008
Bought this as a gift. Was very suprised to find a new copy of this game.
Was a little disappointed that it didn't arrive before Christmas, but overall happy with purchase.
Glitch Headquarters October 14, 2007
This is the first Price of Persia game I ever played. Over the years, the title has popped up repeatedly and I finally decided to give this series a try. I am disappointed, and here why:
There are two aspects I really like when playing such games: Puzzles and fighting and I thought that this game would be a perfect match. I do like the puzzle aspect quite a bit but the fighting leaves much to be desired.
Puzzles are interesting and can be quite challenging at times - although the majority are pretty straight-forward and basically consist of figuring out how to progress. There are others, though, that can take quite a bit of time to figure out and I really liked all the various ways in which puzzles had to be solved or the way ahead had to be figured out. For me, puzzle solving is the most enjoyable aspect of this game.
Fighting, on the other hand, is rather pathetic. The controls (or perhaps the dagger) seem to be mired in semi-liquid butter and fighting basically consists of one simple combo: Jump over opponent, slash, repeat - until your adversary is dead. Great!
I can live with all this, though because the puzzle-solving aspect still provides enough fun to labor through the tedious fighting scenes.
Unfortunately, there are other factors that really render this game low quality: Glitches. Now, I don't mind a few pixels that don't belong but what we have in this game is simply ridiculous: I have had crashes, I've had the game read the credits to me during game play, I've had complete audio failures, especially during cut-scenes, and I've had bosses not show up for the boss battle! That's right, I found myself in an arena where I was supposed to fight a boss but she (in this case) was simply not present and I had to restart.
The developers of this game also must never play their own games. Obviously, boss battles are generally difficult and require multiple attempts - at least for me. Why then, do I have to suffer through the same cut-scene prefacing the actual battler over and over again? Should I be able to simply skip the dialogue/cut-scene? Not so. If it takes you 20 attempts at defeating the boss, you'll be watching that very same cut-scene 20 times as well.
Overall, this is simply not a great game although I do like the concept quite a bit. I'm sure I'll end up trying the other Prince titles, too and can only hope that they are better than this one.
