Sticky tricky but fun [Posted on 2007-07-06]
I am very close to calling the ubisoft folk genius,however they are very flawed in areas of this game.
First off i really enjoyed this game yes the controls suck as i often found myself leaping in the wrong direction and screaming all manner of interesting words at the screen.
One thing that really pissed me off was the music.Here they have gone to all the time and effort to create this beautiful magical world only to have death metal guitars crapping all over it.If they did their homework they would find that a lot of middle eastern styles of music are really interesting and heart pounding.I turned off the music after 5 mins problem solved.
Anyway it looks great and it will certainly test you.

Wonderful Experience!!!!  [Posted on 2007-07-08]

AYAH! What a cunundrum! [Posted on 2007-07-15]
I have just beat this game a few days ago (thank god)and must report to you good people here at Amazon that this game was a HEADACHE!

First of all, I would like to state that this game is much darker than the first. So dark that you wonder when you will ever see the light again, and is so dark that you feel queasy inside whenever you play it! The heavy metal riffs during battle sequences were awesome at first, but grew old very soon and is often misleading thanks to the horrible syncing with what's happening in the game (it goes on for an extra 3 minutes after a battle sometimes).

POPWW focuses more on combat than the first. There are about a hundred combos you can perform to erradicate your enemies. Which is good, but you will find yourself sticking with only a handful of them. And, this game rewards "button mashing" quite a bit!

The controls in the game are a real kick in the crotch! Especially when you are navigating through a large corridor filled with traps. Example: You want to wall run up to a ledge, but you wall run off the edge instead, which leads to certain death and a painful reload if you don't have any sands left (one of the problems of the game is that you run out of sand VERY quickly).

Perhaps the best thing about this game are probably those "scantily dressed females" (Ohhhh...Kaileena...please be mine someday). Kaileena gives this game the edge it needs. But, if you just want to admire her vibrant, pixel body, I urge you to just type in "Kaileena" in Google image search.

Overall, this game was a huge (let me reemphasize, HUGE) disappointment. GameSpot says this game is hard, no KIDDING! I am playing T2T right now and it is so far THE BEST POP game out there (simply put, it features the best of both games and MORE). I urge you to avoid buying this game at all costs and just read the Wikipedia plot synopsis if you just want to be kept in tuned with the story. Let me just summarize the "Goods" and "Bads" of the game (listed in no order):

Good:
1. Graphics
2. Combat System
3. Heavy Metal Guitars (it would have been even cooler if they had blended the shredding with Middle Eastern tunes)
4. Shadee and Kaileena

Bad:
1. Controls (I shudder at the thought)
2. Difficulty (It's hard even on the "Easy" difficulty settings)
3. The darker theme
4. The enemies take forever to kill
5. Lack of charm (SoT had lots of it)
6. The cuss words you will utter
7. The # of times you will pound your keyboard (I managed to knock out 5 keys in one pound once) and take the Lord's name in vain
8. The deep desire to uninstall the sucker and chuck the package out the window

I'm not sure about you, but I think the bads do overweight the goods. But, I'll let you be the judge!

The Prince is back... with attitude! [Posted on 2007-12-24]
The second installment of the Prince of Persia series was a fantastic ride through a dark world of time-travel and Middle-Eastern design and architecture. If you loved the 'Arabian Nights storybook' feel of the first game, I'm sorry but that is gone and replaced by a darker, more mature feel that mixes in combat and an industrial rock soundtrack on top of the already existing puzzles. The fighting system was seriously overhauled in this version, allowing for much more creative fighting. If you liked the first one, you MAY like this one. It may be for the older crowd, but hey! We like puzzle games too!

Play the Prince [Posted on 2008-01-21]
This program is an excellent game and has lots of action. I have not been disappointed with ANY of the POP trilogies. They all have kept my interest with challenging puzzles and intense gameplay. Check it out for yourself!
