Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is a good final segment in the series produced by Ubisoft.
Gameplay: The gameplay is as good or maybe even better than in the Sands of Time. I personally did not think the Dark Prince was needed from a gameplay point of view, but it did continue the storyline. Another feature added in this segment of the series is the chariot races. These were not very astounding, average at best, and were not necessarily needed. What did make the gameplay an equal to the first game was the addition of the quick kill. Why bother running around hacking and slashing every enemy to bits while losing your precious health when you could just sneak up behind them and cut their head off? Some strategy is involved, as in some cases there are more than one enemy to quick kill and in certain sections of the game the enemy can kill more enemies to fight you if you do not succeed in your quick kills. Altogether the original running up walls and hacking and slashing sand monsters along with the newly added quick kills make the third and final segment of the Sands Trilogy a very fun game to play.
Graphics: Writing this review after seeing the utterly amazing graphics in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter for the Xbox 360, I cannot say that the graphics in Two Thrones are overly impressive due to the Playstation 2 system capabilities and yet it is clearly seen that Ubisoft made the best of the what they had and created one of the more visually great games for this system.
Sound: I like games like Madden that have cool soundtracks filled with up and coming rock and rap groups. Prince of Persia does not have this, but they do have good voiceovers for the characters and background music that is not entirely boring or repetitive. Therefore I give it an 8 in sound, but that is only because of my bias towards rock, (not so much rap).
Value: This game is definitely worth getting. If you play an hour a day on average for video games, it might even be worth your money to rent this game on Gamefly and return it once you are finished beating the game. Gamefly is a renting site that offers you the ability to rent a game for as low as $15 monthly and keep it for however long you want. If it takes you a year to beat a game you rent from them, it might not be so cost-effective, but if you beat a game you rent from them within a month, it would be like buying the game and beating it for only $15. The only catch is that you would not be likely to replay the game due to again cost-effectiveness. If you would like to beat the game once and never play it again, I would advise you to use Gamefly. It can be found at gamefly.com. If you would like to replay the game, I would choose buying the game, possibly used at Gamestop or EB Games at a cheaper price than new. Either way, I recommend playing this game.
