The Prince of Persia:
Sands of Time trilogy has always won
the hearts for its well known firm
controls, including the satisfying
environmental puzzles set in its stunning
levels. The series' control scheme
has proven itself to be served as
a model for countless other games
that also feature an energetic protagonist
like the prince. The same great quality
of admirable interface continues in
third game of the series The Two Thrones.
In this game, the trend and tempo
of the whole series remains there,
you will find yourself again running
on the walls, jumping, flipping, and
vaulting your way up. The game has
fiendishly designed environmental
puzzles, as well as vicious fights
with enemies and an improved combat
system which was introduced in the
previous part of the series Warrior
Within. The prince has a few new tricks
up his sleeve too, but longtime fans
of the series still feel right at
home.
The Two Thrones linked to the previous
two versions, begins with the prince
returning to Babylon from the Island
of Time with the mortal Kaileena
as his new lover (this part of the
plot may be confusing to those who
didn't see the alternate ending
of Warrior Within). As they pull
in to the harbor at Babylon, the
duo finds the city under siege.
Their ship is wrecked by the invaders,
and Kaileena is captured by the
enemies. You quickly find that the
Vizier is back and responsible for
the uprising. He murders Kaileena
and unleashes the sands of time
upon Babylon, and the prince must
battle to regain his kingdom and
avenge Kaileena's death.
The sequences you play leads you
to be much more aggressive in combat;
health is never really a concern
as you get recharged fully with
each downed enemy, but the puzzle-solving
and acrobatic sequences can be taxing
because you have a time limit to
get from point A to point B. The
fighting trends remain the same
as in the previous versions in which
you could drop or pick weapons and
vault on poles and much more. The
only added feature in your combat
is the stealth-kill mechanic, or
“speed kills,” as in the game; this
feature can be executed by sneaking
up a oblivious enemy and tapping
on a button which executes this
feature. Overall, the new stealth-kill
mechanic is pretty fun and gratifying
to do and watch.
Gamers
who love solving the environmental
puzzles and watching the beautiful
environments, which the series is
known for, The Two Thrones delivers
spades for all.
