Prince Of Persia: The Two Thrones

Prince Of Persia: The Two Thrones
Review
More than 15 years after Prince Of Persia first set PCs alight, Jordan Mechner’s franchise has lost none of the excitement, charm or slick presentation that made the original a swashbuckling delight.

While many players were turned off by the arrogant heir who took centre-stage in 2003’s Sands Of Time, The Two Thrones splits the troubled protagonist into two personae: the good Prince, whose nimble moves will be familiar to fans of the series, and the Dark Prince, who must constantly slaughter enemies to stop his lifeforce ebbing away, adding extra pace and variety to the adventure’s acrobatic antics.

The new speed-kills and lavish visuals make this the most gratifying Persia game to date, but the clumsy chariot races taint an otherwise perfect quest.

An excellent conclusion
Empire User Rating

There are very few chariot sequences and they are very short, only a completely idiotic person would let that spoil such an incredible game. The platforming and puzzles are unbelievabley good, speed-kills are very fun, screwing with time remains great fun, the dark-prince is a highly enjoyable character to play as, the plot is a very involving conclusion to the trilogy, you will love this very long but never boring adventure game. No previouse gaming experience is necessary, but you should proba... Read More
