    Awesome game, I'd say this is the best in the Prince of Persia series. The storyline is great and has decent length. The prince is awesome. The puzzles are not too hard, but good enough to analyze your mind.

This game has a few bugs though, sometimes the prince gets stuck sometimes and the game becomes unplayable and I'd have to restart the game to continue! And it shows "analog sticks" instead of moving the mouse. It shows the buttons right, though (Left-click, right-click, space, etc.). And it doesn't properly support widescreen and doesn't show buttons on the Xbox 360 controller properly (I don't understand what's button 1 and button 7 on my controller). Anyways, it's a great game and worth playing. I felt it was a bit too easy, but nevertheless, it's an awesome game. I played it again now! It's a masterpiece, but has a few short flaws. … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones you play as the Prince of Persia, whom after finding his city attacked has to save his beloved, the empress of time Khaileena from the clutches of the evil vizier. The story is probably the weakest factor of the game, with plenty of plotholes here and there.
    Then there's the graphics that I personally love. They look great and are very fitting. The only downside to the graphics are the textures that, when inspected closely looks like a bunch of pixels put together.
    The music is that Persian kind of music that really fits the game. The best track was probably the stealth theme that would play when the Prince assassinates his enemies.
    Said gameplay of Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is the games biggest and greatest factor. Running along the walls of Babylon is a blast, as is backstabbing your enemies. Something that'll result in a speed-kill. A speed-kill is basically a quick-time event where you push the attack button each time your dagger lights up. Actually, stealth is probably the way a lot of player will play. This is because it's a lot easier. Something that'll prove useful later in the game. Another new mechanic in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is the dark Prince. A more powerful and shadowy version of the Prince. This isn't really that fun to play with as the Prince's health will drain each second. Luckily you'll only play as the dark Prince 25-33% of the whole game.
    So is this a good game? Of course it is! Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is a good and fun action-adventure with great gameplay, good music, good graphics and a so-so story. In the end, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones gets a 8 out of 10.    … Expand

Set straight after Warrior Within's events the Prince returns with Kaileena to Babylon where he finds it under war by none other than the Vizier himself, come back to life because of the events at the Island of Time. The combat is typical of the previous game but made slightly better, adding combos and giving the ability to steal weapons and kill and enemy at the same time without looking up a secret guide on the Internet like on Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. Thing is though, they start moving away from combat in this game bringing in stealth kills called in this game Speed Kills. If the Prince is undetected and behind in enemy or in acrobatic placement he can do an animated Speed Kill which is quick, deadly and stylish through a series of left clicks when his weapons glow. Yes they're quick times but they're fun ones that are easy to do! The graphics are like Prince of Persia: Warrior Within's yet vastly better! The Prince also now has random encounters where he'll be transformed into his dark side, his evil side, his Dark Prince! He has a whole new combo system and looks completely different! The best part is when the Prince transforms back the Sand infection spreads up his arm more and more, each time he transforms! Like the other two games before this one has Life Upgrades but unlike Prince of Persia: Warrior Within are less hidden but still a challenge. Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is a great game and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to feel the Prince's true acrobatic and fighting prowess and someone who wants to see the outcome of the Prince's story! Trust me, if you've played all the others before, the ending will make you cry! I did!… Expand

    A great game, but for me this is the weakest of the trilogy. Ubi seemed to take a lot of the criticism from WW on board, which would normally be a good thing, but they seem to have watered things down a bit much. Whereas WW was an epic marvel of game design, Two Thrones downscales stuff considerably (story, gameworld, combat, puzzles etc), and I didn't find it anywhere near asA great game, but for me this is the weakest of the trilogy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction."

    By far the best and the most fun of the trilogy. There's never a dull moment. Chain slicing sand monsters and stabbing walls with the dagger to reach high places is oddly satisfying every time. Acrobatics are so smooth you feel freedom and get to feel cool as you reach unreachable high places.

    Also it's the first one in the series to add some real personality to the characters, making the story feel more real as you face the greatest antagonist yet - yourself. I loved the dynamic between The Prince and Farah, and even more so between the noble and serious Prince and the evil and wisecracking Dark Prince.

    Lots of changes in scenery and in the flow of the story and gameplay helped the game remain diverse and avoid becoming repetitive and monotonous.

    Unfortunately even this entry is still plagued by bad camera. In fact, it has the worst camera controls of the trilogy. Mouse movement is so stiff it takes forever to turn the camera, obviously because of the lack of proper mouse support.

I really like the setting this time around. Unlike the island of time where nothing felt lived in, the city feels alive, ironically enough and I loved running around Babylon on rooftops and on the streets it felt nice. I really liked the addition of stealth in this game, since it kept the combat fresh and I would try to take everyone out without getting seen. But the combat in this game is worse than the last entry and I think it's because of the stealth. The Dark Prince works nice and I had to worry about my health a lot more this time around while in that form. The platforming and riddles are also even easier than the last entry as well as the bossfights since I beat all of them the first time around and didn't have to restart. I really liked the story, I think it was my favorite of the trilogy, maybe because it compliments the first game as well. All in all a masterful end to a beloved trilogy. Play it.… Expand

    Better than Warrior Within in most aspects. Enemies are more balanced. It's not unnecessarily difficult. I really like the stealth mechanic. But speed kill timing is too short sometimes.

This is original, and remains fresh over the years as it's hard to pull a story as good as this one. Makes me wish for more and more original stories in gaming and a more tell-tale narrative, its dull but works. Every adventure game nowadays needs a travel companion (thanks, Navi) to keep us on track and to know the world the adventure takes place into, but this felt so familiar that explanations where not necessary, the narrative works with no Lore and despite being a personal fan of games with big lore we also need a dose of this: turn it up, play, catch everything from a cinematic here and there and from a monologue while running through walls of a hall with no floor. So organic, so effortless and yet it holds big surprises.… Expand

    The main problem I had here in Two Thrones was, amazingly and sadly enough, the environments! In a franchise that held a high standard for level design, Two Thrones features bland and drab colors that are just uninteresting in so many ways.
