Rant: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

[@Tavion2]

Tbh, the elevator scene is not intended as flirting. It's just one of those moments where we see our heroes be...well, humans.

[@sonachahal6985]

Hi

[@SCIENCETECHTALES]

I don't think.. that was unnecessary

[@hotnessgaming1396]

This guy is extremely dumb or tries too hard

[@setoman1]

I personally liked the speed-kill mechanic. I really loved the satisfaction of getting my button presses right while honing my reflexes. And even of I screw up, there is no penalty, I GET to fight the slow way.

[@echelon1014]

All I did was try to take out as many enemies with speed kills as I could

[@DreadNawght]

@Mikhail Romanov in your profile picture, is that a new flag?

[@Aliel010]

The speed kill mechanic was actually my favorite new addition to the series. It made you feel like an experienced fighter taking on enemies very quickly in a stealthy manner. It was actually very rewarding to stealth kill every enemy without them even knowing you were even there.

[@desfefe]

It was the precursor to Assasin's creed though. This stupid mechanic is also the reason for the doom of POP, albeit indirectly. I cannot forgive it for that.

[@vasko409]

maybe this is nostalgia talking but i really love the speed/Stealth kill element to this game it gives you the option to go in swords blazing or stealth kill all the enemies, it was also my first introduction to stealth in a video game and it was really rewarding to try and kill all the enemies unoticed. and unlike other "quick time events" it was very fluid and diddnt take you out of the action. Id rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it so to speak. Also the third one was my favourite out of the three it had element of the first two games plus more. and as dunkey would say. This trilogy is a 5 out of 5 masterpiece.

[@Skyrus646]

same , it was so fun to kill people without them noticing you , felt like a real achievement.

[@MP2066]

The Reason for the Quick Kill System is to add a different gameplay feel your a fugitive in your own City needing to sneak around to save your People. Plus its also Combat, Platforming, and Puzzle elements All thrown into together to see if you can kill all of the enemies quickly and Silently its SUPER fun to complete clear a room with out having to use the pretty good combat system. But even when you fail to do so you don't feel ripped off you have another chance with the Traditional Combat making this game Pretty solid imo

@@johncarldelossantos7345 A remaster is unlikely, a remake is impossible. Assassin's Creed sells pretty well and the remasters are crap, I couldn't imagine what they would do with Prince of Persia.

[@sucukmitei5436]

You know what I dont understand? In WW we had such a hard time to fight kaileena. And now T2T wants to tell me that 2 defaults managed to get her up the tower, bond and even let herself be killed by that old guy. Why didnt she just teleport away? The girl had the full power of time. She could slap everyones ass up their. Maybe she did accept that she didnt belong to that fate, to be alive. That would also not make any sense. She literally fought for her life against us in WW. It would be better if there was another way to release the sands of time but not kill kaileena. Then we play with kaileena and farah during the storyline. At a certain point we can chose to save kaileena but farah dies or save farah but kaileena dies. So we get a alternate story at 30-50% of the game.

[@aryan7767]

Maybe her powers were limited to the island of time

[@hotnessgaming1396]

1. The sands of time didn’t exist anymore her death is what released the sands into the world again. It is possible she did not have any actual power once she left the island/after Dahaka. 2. She was in a shipwreck, knocked out. We see her still knocked out being dragged away. Can’t do much if you’re knocked out. 3. She DID say she Dr. Stranged infinite timelines and that this was the best outcome so there you go

[@laskann]

I actually like speedkilling as a mechanic for stealth kills. It adds tension, so it's not enough to just sneak behind the opponent and magically insta kill it. You still have to actually successfully kill them or else you are just detected. But, then, i also love stealthing it up, even in games not entirely built for it. As for bosses, yeah, not a fan of it there.

[@itsjustvin7630]

My favorite is the double stealth kill

[@bendovahkiin8405]

i actually i am a fan of speedkilling in bosses if they had a stage transition afterwards which was missing from WW

[@learniteasy8146]

Deep talks between prince and dark prince was the best moments of this game.

[@MariusUrucu]

9:34 They did pander to the Sands of Time fans. You see... The Two Thrones was supposed to be called Kindred Blades and would have had a tone similar to Warrior Within. Not only that, but the trailer footage before The Two Thrones release showcased some parts of the story that simply do not happen in the final game. Also you could choose, at will, to become the Dark Prince or regular Prince. Yeah... sounds more exiting than what we got now. Also, is that gameplay footage from the HD POP Collection? It looks off... some missing effects like the Dark Prince and the chain glowing a bright yellow and even bloom and post processing effects. It really looked better on the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube and especially on PC.

[@TrueReview]

Huh, I've heard the name 'Kindred Blades' before but wasn't aware of what that was until now. And yes, it is from the HD collection.

[@Vale96.]

+True Review Could you do a video about Kindred Blades showing trailers and gameplays and say what you think about it? The only ones nowadays are all russians and I only speak Italian, English and Spanish and don't understand what they're saying..

[@TrueReview]

Vale96 I don't speak Russian either so I'd have difficulty with it too.

[@onyx9943]

[@Vale96.]

Omar The Human I know, I meant that the majority of KZbinrs videos that spoke about Kindred Blades here on KZbin are russians. Even all comments are russians and the ones I understand (English and Spanish) aren't very popular, so they have few comments.

[@jasonpratt5126]

This might be mentioned downthread somewhere, but just in case: it wasn't a coincidence that the Vizier ran across the Empress again. He was being guided by the dagger which was drawn to her and even (arguably) by Empress herself attempting to reach a best-possible timeline result. This is heavily implied in both her opening and closing dialogue.)

[@shadowpriest2574]

To be honest To Towers for me was like an easier Warrior Within whit a Sands of Time feeling to it, in the sense that it was in a city whit beautiful buildings and gardens. The part where u climb the tower is just beautiful to me.

[@edcwseferg3603]

The golden graphics effects for the dark prince and Recall are missing for you. Which is a shame, because the dark prince looks fkn awesome covered in those spiral patterns!

[@liviuadrian92]

the main problem with prince of Persia The Two Thrones is that it was meant to please both those who loved Warrior within, and those who loved The Sands of Time, instead of going with the original ideea in which it was supposed to be a lot like the second game. If you don't believe me check out Prince of Persia Kindred Blades( also known at the time as Prince of Persia 3) Ps. That trailer in which The Dark Prince has white skin is from Kindred Blades.

[@beckezizou]

the best sword fighting game is warrior within.

[@beckezizou]

and soundtracks of course.

[@Vagrant860]

Actually the kingdom come deliverece is considered the best and realistic sword fighting game.

[@vorpalinferno9711]

What does realistic has anything to do with video game?

[@Vagrant860]

I know it doesn't make any sense to put realism in video games but I practice Historical European and African swordsmanship so for me personally I find games with lifelike martial arts more immersive and believable. But at the same time I love games that have that visually stunning twirly wirly wushu dance moves.

[@trenixjetix]

now sekiro es kinda the best one without fancy kinetics

[@blitzkriegdragon013]

I think your criticisms on Farrah are a little unfair. It's fine that you find her dull, that's your opinion and you have a right to it. The examples you presented though were just weak. She asked his favorite and her favorite fruit is pomegranate. And? What's wrong with that? Pomegranate is my favorite fruit too, and there are worse questions to ask in the middle of a warzone.

[@vanyadolly]

Not to mention that it's perfectly logical that the two of them fall in love in SoT. They're very young and naive, traumatized, the only two people alive, and dependent on each other for comfort and survival.

[@JohnLII]

vanyadolly yeah I liked his rant until he criticized Farah. Part of the charm of Sands is the developing romance. Sure she has lost everyone but this is a video game and he is the only other person alive. Death is around every corner, is she supposed to just endlessly nope about her loss?

[@ahmedabdellatif6436]

I loved two thrones tbh, I felt like it combined the good elements in sands of time and warrior within.

[@mitchellhayward6492]

I recall that the speed-kills were originally just very brief cutscenes. You press the button to speed-kill, then you just watch a few seconds of murder, and that's it. No QTE's. I've always preferred that original idea.

[@cydneydevlin3735]

warrior within was the best PoP by far, it had everything was great about the first game taken to the next level, a darker tone, a much better character model/design for the prince, interesting level design switching between times, the dahaka which added tension to every moment, shadee's amazing ass and a great sound track. Warrior Within is in my top 10 games.

[@chgjake2230]

Cydney Devlin one of these is not like the other.

[@dudedude5526]

I loved all three games. I wish they would make another Prince of Persia, only this time perhaps in open world, similar to Assassins Creed. Some of the missions should still have puzzles though. I despised the puzzles until I solved them and saw all my friends struggling and felt super smart

[@Elkaade]

i dont think people can capture that charm these games had anymore, even the third game was made in the period when games began to drop in contentance rapidly. the only game i like from this period is thief 3, all the thief games are great, 1-3 the 4th of is a disgrace.

[@Macaco_Laser]

I thought that the two thrones plataforming parts were the most fun out of the trilogy, but idk i love three games for what they are honestly. Kinda controversial opinion but i like the chariot segments haha

[@adiveler]

Who else remember all those confused comments about the beginning of the game due to it choosing to start from the secret ending of WW? "BUT HE KILLED HER AT THE END OF WW, HOW IS SHE STILL ALIVE??"

[@ahmadkhaled4252]

Unraveler actually he can save her by killing the dahaka at the end of the game but that's only if you found all the life upgrade locations and the water sword and if you didn't find them all and the water sword you will fight her at the end and that's the truth ending in warrior within .. I hope you will understand what I'm saying :)

[@bendovahkiin8405]

these qte are better than any qtes done afterwards. speedkilling should be done in execution style where you have a meter which fills through regular combat combo spree or something else, so there is a limited use

[@ElMocoo]

You should talk about kindred blades tbh, your rants are so well writen it needs to happen. Plus squeeze all the juice out of the POP series so maybe Ubisoft will hopefully see we want a new one!

[@amf1435]

I disagree with almost every criticism you had. On the other hand, I never played SoT or WW. I love this game for everything it is, although its not perfect and I'm doubtlessly blinded by nostalgia :)

[@acdcjor]

The first time I played this game I skipped the other two because they were too difficult for me, and I couldn't understand key things story-wise that make this game the masterpiece it is. The ideal way is to play them in order.

[@tywinlannister1125]

So if you got the worst ending in warrior within, the sands of time cant be unleashed in two thrones

[@davidbell6517]

What about prince of Persia, you know the ps3 one that everyone loves....

[@Abeheshti]

This game would be good. E3 the introduction was super and fantastic. Then they changed the gameplay a little bit but story was changed completely. In original you transform dark prince via fire. When you got into fire you become dark prince and in water you become human however in original you're not dark You're more bright than normal because of the fire and you have white hairs.Again you have same armor which was in WW and same amulet. In original story when you arrive the city you realize that the city is ruled by your doppelganger in short, your other version but very you rule the city. They capture you and chain you. Empress sees this and pities you a short time after she suicides :( Thus sands of time are released again. Shame them :( this lore was so much good and game was dark like WW. You can watch E3 video and older gameplay you'll notice the difference.

[@ΑναστάσηςΤσαμπούκος]

When I was young I had the two thrones for my ps2 and a friend of mine the sands of time. After some years, my little brother who got a psp got the warriors within so I have played the entire trilogy, just not whole. I have only finished the two thrones which was mine after all

[@rosenek]

I always looked at The Two Thrones a nice combo of Sands of Time and Warrior Within. And I liked Farah...

[@dbaba1]

this is one of my top fav games. loved the crap out of speed kill addition, bosses, the story and puzzles in this game.

[@DarkGhostHacker]

wow..... you DONT like the speedkills? Ok then...... The speedkills was 1 of the best things about the game. Along with the new moves the dark prince has with his chain whip. The speedkills were awesome and makes u feel like a super predator. And it doesn't take away from the fighting AT ALL, since there are tons of areas where u still have to fight even if u succeed at all speed kill areas. And the chariot chase scene was also really good too. LMAO i dunno how to even respond to the elevator criticism. Lol none of that felt like flirting..... it felt like both of them trying to build repertoire and try to better know each other, but just in a really akward and weird way, which was humorous.

[@moracomole8090]

Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I am or why I say this. Sit down and I will tell you a tale like none you have ever heard

[@cageman301]

As much as I like SoT and WW, T2T is my all-time favorite simply because of the added element of stealth. Those speed kills were super satisfying to pull off. Replayed this game more than the number of times I replayed WW and SoT combined.

[@d_dash445]

speed kill was a good element!

[@devonjones1579]

The combat system is fine but pretty tedious, especially if you've just played through WW. So the speed kill system offers some variety and ability to get through areas with more fluidity which makes sense for the character I think stealthy platforming would have been a great direction for future games to have gone, but i guess that's why we have the Assassins Creed games

[@ashishxgupta]

Man you reminded me of my all time favourite series.

[@CrashBandicootFan100]

Honestly I liked playing Two Thrones, but it REALLY felt like a pandering plot. Also Farah didn't add much to the plot, since he was already on his way to kill the Visier anyway. Seeing that the discarded *Kindred Blades* was going to be an ACTUAL Warrior Within sequel, with multiple endings, and you choosing if you'll play as Dark Prince rather then a set transformation. And they didn't go through with it because: criticism, and maybe console limitations. Though, my favourite level is in this game, the one with light sword in the dark labyrinth after he finds his dad dead, again. Not as fun as others, but I guess it works symbollically. Either way, hope they make a game again, either a reboot or one where he tells daddy he killed his bro, and suddenly DAHAKA. Wonder how many people died to that thing before the Prince realised it was after him, and basically unkillable.

[@mp6471]

I don't really understand why you and other people dislike Sands of Time setting. It is just beautiful and charming and it is only because of sands of time that Prince of Persia series became famous. The Indo-Persian fantasy setting with all the music, the princess and the love story is fantastic. If you just want gore and tough fights just go for God of War 3!

[@sikisikiamimis]

Exactly why I hate Warrior Within.

[@sikisikiamimis]

@@adamkakulookiya6238 And yet delusional WW fanboys think the game is a masterpiece above the rest because it's edgy

[@hiiambarney4489]

Personally, why I really hate this game is because it feels like a step back. Same setting as the first one again with unnecessary bloat (like the Horse Riding Section) and lack of the charme and introvert moments, exchanging a perfectly developed character that had an entire arc in the last game for Farah, which hasn't had any development and her entire character and usefulness could probably be described as "playful love interest". The music was a step back for me as well apart from one tune I really liked. Everything was dialed back to "Disney's" Sands Of Time but still wanting to be grim and dark. And I don't know how they fked it up so bad, but they didn't even have the decency to at least let Kaileena be the beauty, in the ending cutscene of warrior within to this game (which probably was made in the same production frame, let's be real) she just looked so damn off to me, completely different to her in game pixely polygon appearance, and, most importantly, to the concept arts. I get it, they wanted to get back to this Persian Theme, that's why she had to look like this, but it feels so disjointing to the previous game. Also what's pissing me off is that the Visir knows that the sands are contained within her because... FUCK HE JUST KNOWS MAN. It was this huge reveal that the player had to figure themselves out but we can't have ANYTHING from Warrior Within I guess so the player and the prince are just dumb, big F in my book.

[@dmcindianfan5374]

In ww sand wraith doesn't die and his life doesn't fade full and stops after some point whereas dark Prince he dies if he doesn't get the sands

[@Slydime917]

People still make videos on these masterpieces? Subbed!

[@sikisikiamimis]

I don't see the problem with speed skill as it's entirely optional so you don't need to do it unless it's a boss fight. Also you wonder why we would want to skip the fighting, simple, sometimes your health is too short or you're out of sand slots so speed skill can save your life.

[@Eliphas44]

I actually really liked the ending of WW and was really disappointed that they changed the invader of Babylon from the corrupted Prince from a some kind of time loop hole to the Vizier. I didn't like that Dark Prince wasn't completely in control whenever you transformed as well. Instead you were just Prince with a new costume. I also missed Farah's original voice actor. As for WW I thought the Sand Wraith section was suitably foreshadowed and it didn't bother me in the slightest. I also loved the section though gameplaywise. Infinite ravages of time.

[@turbosnipeone2164]

Forgot to mention how this game almost became the Kindred Blades which looked a lot more cooler and you were able to decide when to turn to the dark prince. The dark prince also looked more angel lile with white hair

[@iBloodxHunter]

I liked the stealth kills because in Warrior Within, you could sneak up on enemies, but there was nothing special you could do besides maybe throwing them off a ledge.

[@AHass-kf4oq]

i did enjoy the forgotten sands, the story was OK, the combat was good, the puzzles were hard to pull, witch made it fun to play, and the ending was perfect in my eyes, i loved it, not as much as the original Trilogy, but i did love it, the only game i didn't like was the 2008 one, it didn't feel like a POP game to me, but i did love Forgotten sands

[@Awaifn]

Speed Killing feels narratively pleasing. Argue about it as a mechanic, but lore wise it fits in very well. In one of the monologues, the Prince says something along the lines of "Having to hide in my own city". He needs to try and limit his normal combat experiences as much as he can. It's pretty similar to the much more difficult combat system of Assassin's Creed Unity, Ubisoft tried to make you actually be an Assassin. Play stealthy, or struggle. Like you're supposed to. And I'd like to argue that the Speed killing idea was a factor to birthing Assassin's Creed. I say this 5 years later. [Gigachad]

[@rohanjosi7081]

It took me 3 times retrying the entire game to finish it because I never had enough sand tanks because I would use 2 to reach the boss.

The Warrior Within is the best game ,hands down 👐 ,void all the bully in character build up and the scanty clothed characters ,that dark ambiance and the additional gameplay effects ,it was ROCK ON ,the two thrones merely did the job with some cool new effects ,plus did you guys forgot you had two alternatives ,one if you killed Kaileena without getting the Water Sword or and second if you killed the Dahaka .The Sand Wraith was more scary to look at than the "Dark prince" .The constant time travels you had the opportunity to go back through the same location (more open world ) than the scripted Two Thrones one way paradise 🤣 .The intense Dahaka chaseouts .I wish Jordan have some cool off time with UbiSoft and continue the series .I miss the series dearly 😭.

[@payneicecold3000]

Farrah was a GREAT character, she saw her life, family, and the WORLD turned into sand creatures by two ass holes. He wanted to right that wrong and had to learn to trust the Prince to get the job done. Not only were they a great team as the game goes on they start to let their guard down with each other. Telling each other secrets learning about each other. When she asked him if he was alright after he had to defeat his father. She had to show him that he didn't have to curry such a heavy burden and that she was there for him. His actions led to her death because he couldn't trust the one person who wanted what she wanted. She helped nurse him back to help and was concerned for his well being when he woke up from the time blitz. She actually started to worry about him going into the time blitz. She was a GREAT character and she was somewhat useful in battle.

[@Nhileishere]

So The Two Thrones is basically the dark sand version of Prince but more edgy and done right in a less edgy game? (less edgy due to the fact the Persian music returns and themes that sands of time had)

[@supertna9154]

Assassin's Creed 1 had the same mechanic of speed kills as the Two Thrones but without quick time events and only with the hidden blade selected. Assassin's Creed called it assassinations instead of speed kills. Successors to Assassin's Creed expanded the assassination system to daggers to make it similar to The Two Thrones such as using a dagger or sword to assassinate targets in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood all without quick time events.

[@philipchurch8772]

Warrior Within is "darker" than Sands of Time the way Five Finger Death Punch is darker than the Beatles.

[@treep1gg]

Speed killing was awesome. If you screwed up the QTE or were seen you could still rewind time to correct your mistakes but this would leave you vulnerable in the next fight due to the players lack of sand so it encouraged players to take alternate approaches to combat and to better themselves. It was incredibly satisfying to take down a whole group of enemies without being seen while being detected was certainly annoying it was still fair. The bosses were certainly annoying they were certainly better than the button mashing and abuse of counter attacks in warrior within and the quick time events added a bit of variety. P.s. kiting enemies into walls during the chariot segments was great.

I think, if the developers had released the real version of this game (Kindred Blades) things would have been differnt. The visuals, the action and story even the character design was quite different. I think if Ubisoft does indeed re-release this trilogy the should release it as it was intended.

[@wagesofsinn3881]

My issue with the boss fights are that they can only be defeated using quick time events. Yeah you had QTE's in the game for all enemies, but if you want you can skip them and be a combat god, but to have the boss fights ONLY victory condition to be placed in the hands of a QTE hurts the game. I think Dev's do QTE's because they want to show off their animation, but when you play a QTE you're not looking at the animation, you're entire focus is on the button you're pushing and waiting for the next to pop up so you end up missing the animation entirely.

I love warrior within

[@hiiambarney4489]

In the Sand Wraith's (lovingly called Maggot Man) defense, there pretty much no sensible way to get a solution to the conundrum at hand without it being painfully obvious what's going on. The Prince pretty much had to look entirely different, possibly mute for this plot twist to work. Now is it absolutely ridiculous how he get's to learn about the Mask? Sure thing, that has no defense and is a weak point. Does it have it's place in the Story and serves a purpose plus giving you a decent reason for reusing locations throughout as you sort of lurk your past self from the shadows, all the while acting as the "gloves off" part of the game with the hardest platforming sections and combat sequences in it? Heck yeah, it's a gauntlet, testing all you've learned. It's just not all that compelling the second time+ through. When you know the twist, when you got super good at the game, it comes off as you've described it, even to me, a diehard, "til the grave" fan.

[@NobbyHobbyBobby]

Do the 2008 one Its one of my favorite games and i think it is very underrated

[@rafagrupp4953]

I believe it was shit. It forces you to hours of watching the prince fall a wall, the combat was pretty good but the way they presented it all at once was too overwhelming, and the fact that they won't let you die but your partner saves you unlimitedly, they could just let you rewind time. They really f it up with that game and force prince of Persia to lose popularity. They had such a great potencial but they didn't do it right. I personally loved everything else in that game but with all those problems it was not worth it in my opinion

[@HoogaShaaka]

The only reason I completed that game was because I paid for it. Seriously, I was so bored halfway through it. And the ending sucked too.

[@avikbiswas4558]

i finshed it yesterday.............. That was aan f uped ending liked the game though

[@NobbyHobbyBobby]

i think the best part of this game was the connection between the prince and elika and the art style was gorgeous as well. its true the game was too easy and you cannot die but that didnt bother me

[@Ko700el]

it is a very underrated game with flaws... 1) the title of the game... 2) you can't die or loose... The voice over is good..the animations are freaking EXCELLENT..the graphics are beautiful most of the times..and the OST fits perfectly

[@clowe1009]

Have you played the Wii version of The Forgotten Sands? If not, I highly suggest you do so, at first I was hesitant to do it, because I tought it was just a downgraded port of the ps3/360 version, but I played it a couple of years ago, and turns out, it is a completely different game, with a completely different story. And best of all, it's good, really good actually, as a matter of fact, I'd say the Wii version of The Forgotten Sands has the best platforming in the series by far, they give you a bunch of powers that makes platforming a lot more freeform, make your own path style, instead of the previous follow the designated path through the level laid out to you by the devs, it's really amazing actually and if any new Prince of Persia comes out, I would really like it if they follow the platforming beats that game had. IN SHORT, play the Wii version of The Forgotten Sands, it's a great game and, you won't regret it.

[@clowe1009]

Well to be fair, all The Forgotten Sands games aren't really movie tie ins, as in, they have nothing to do with the movie, Ubisoft just released them at the same time to cash in on all the movie buzz. They actually take place between Sands of Time and Warrior Within. I can't stress it enough tho, The Wii version of The Forgotten Sands is a great game, anyone reading this who didn't give it a chance at the time like me because you thought it was a downgraded port, DO IT, you won't be dissapointed, trust me.

[@HoogaShaaka]

In the first boss fight, I don't remember climbing obstacles to stab the dude's eyes. I just kept hitting him in the legs until he eventually falls down and I climb on his back pressing space. It would trigger a quick time event where I stabbed him in the eyes whenever the dagger flashed, that was it.

[@rafagrupp4953]

Kingdom hearts 2 final mix made the quick time events right, it lets you smash the triangle and make many attacks with them, it feels like another style of attack for each enemy, if anything that's the way to do it

[@Elkaade]

I think the quick even mechanics have to do with the map layout and combat synergy, if you take a careful look at the previous two games combat was always done to further develop the story, each section in the first game added something more to the story where we could explore the characters more, the second game did similar but it didnt feel that hand holdy, like the prince was just there on his man duty to defeat his enemies and die in the process if necessary, the third game felt like a desperate blend, although i loved the game at the time now looking back at it only loved it because of the dark prince, and the vezier's design, and generally the character designs, even the city was good, but the gameplay synergy just wasnt there, at all, compared to the previous games. In length and content you could say: SoT: is around 5.5 WW: is around 10. TT: is around 7,5. That is how long the game goes on and how complicated the events seem, however teh story felt more genunely interesting in SoT and the mechanics only backed it up, while in WW it was mainly all about hte mahcnics and somehow the mechanics equalled out in importance with the story, yet you spent 90% of the game fighting and doing stuff before you got a cutscene or had some more story relevant sections. While SoT was all about story relevant sections with just the right amount of fighting and problem solving in between to balance out the pacing. TT felt derived of both, it had nice characters but all in all its far from its predecessors. Still just those few good things can save the entire game. Btw, have you played the other prince of persia? not the one you mention in the game, but the other one, i never finished that game it just didnt feel right, but perhaps you might like that one. :p

[@onyx9943]

Have you ever heard of Kindred Blades?! because, compared to that, T2T looks so lame...

[@ravisingh-jk1yp]

Actually ending in warrior within was kindred blades scene n dark prince had to be antagonist instead of vizier

[@mayankrocks89]

Has anybody wondered which movie in 2017 used the dark prince's floating hair and ashes effects for it's main villain?

[@ashishrandive9417]

No? Who is it?

[@mayankrocks89]

Ashish Randive Captain Salazar. Pirates of the Caribbean.

[@ashishrandive9417]

oh yeah

[@Axel_Xirics_Music]

I'm surprised that there's no mention of Kindred Blades when mentioning the story and atmosphere of T2T. That should've been a far better closing chapter to the SoT trilogy plus the atmosphere and gameplay elements were far greater than what T2T delivered. They had to water down a lot due to the complaints of SoT fans when PoP3 was being shown to the public.

[@Doomscrollin]

I will always love this game the most

[@TevyaSmolka]

this was a interesting conclusion to the prince of persia series

[@EzraYalanBenjamin]

Years too late, but I'll share my opinion anyway, because nobody I know cares about the series much anymore. Its a solid game- but I do think it could have been a hell of a lot better. The original planned version featured free-roam exploration in Babylon- and presumably side quests. It would have struck more of a balance between the Sands of Time aesthetic and the Warrior Within without generally pandering to the fans (for some reason) apparent dislike of WW. Never understood peoples dislike of it, but thats a seperate issue. It also would have made the Dark Prince even more interesting than he actually was, and would have seen the player given the option to choose between the two personas or even synthesise/ balance them to an extent. In that version, the Dark Prince is more explicitely an anti-hero rather than borderline evil, though you can choose that path. As for the actual game as we got it, its good but a bit mediocre compared to what we could have had. The Dark Prince was a great addition and I actually didnt mind the speed kills as they (sort of) added a strategic dimension to things without replacing normal combat. They just shouldnt have made it mandatory to win some boss fights- like the infuriating one against the two brothers. With the direction they actually chose in the end, I have to say that if they were going to do the whole "Prince conquers his dark side" thing and make (IMO) unnecessary stabs at his desperate and rough but rugged, self-sufficient and driven personality in WW, they should have at least made the DP actually full on evil. In the end, its debateable if he might be a bit beyond an anti-hero- but the DP doesnt really do or suggest much that is overtly evil. Hes cold, selfish and cruel- but hes also results orientated. He wants the Vizier dead, which is still ultimately the best thing for everybody. There isnt, except for one of the very early trailers, any indication that he would actually mistreat the people of Persia, even if he might be a rather hands off and aloof ruler. I'd rather that than a tyrant, though, to be fair. He's certainly not as bad as the Vizier even if he isnt a saint either. A great idea, but I think a little poorly executed. Overall, probably my least favorite in the trilogy, too, but still a good game. Anyway, good video. You have gained a subscriber.
