This game was absolutely fantastic!!! You will be hard-pressed to find a better game that mixes action, puzzle-solving, and a great story along with great graphics (for the year it was made). Buy this game. You won't regret it. I do, however, think it would be best if you played the first and second games before playing this one. If you don't, you wont understand the story behind his quest and the characters.

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones Feature

• Manipulate time to surprise enemies: Execute powerful attacks against entire armies by slowing down or rewinding time, or surprise them by using some all-new Sands of Time powers.
• Play and master two distinct characters: Wield the powers and weapons of two master warriors with different combat styles, attitudes, and histories.
• Expanded Free-Form Fighting system lets destroy enemies in your own style--strangle from afar with the deadly Daggertail or use a new stealth art to inflict surprise decapitations and other attacks
• Battle freely through Babylon: Dominate enemies on the perilous rooftops, dodge through chaotic streets, and ambush pursuers in dark, underground passageways.
• Immerse yourself in a dramatic story: Experience unparalleled depth in storytelling as you fight your way through a twisting tale filled with adrenaline, tension, and discovery.

The Prince of Persia, a seasoned warrior, returns from the Island of Time to Babylon with his love, Kaileena. Instead of the peace that he longs for, he finds his homeland ravaged by war and the kingdom turned against him. The Prince is rapidly captured and Kaileena has no choice but to sacrifice herself and unleash the Sands of Time in order to save him. Now cast out on the streets and hunted as a fugitive, the Prince soon discovers that past battles have given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him.

Utilizing the concept of "duality," the player can play as two separate warriors with different combat styles, attitudes, and histories. The Prince, using the Dagger and another disposable weapon, uses a Speed Kill system that focuses on timing and precision. The Dark Prince utilizes a style that is based more on violence and aggression, and he makes deadly use of the Daggertail, allowing for long-range attacks.

True to the Prince of Persia franchise, the game provides a variety of action combat, agility, and story-driven puzzles - all masterfully blended together to provide a rich gaming experience. Explore incredible platforming environments such as the dangerous urban babylon. Dominate enemies on the perilous rooftops, dodge through chaotic streets, and ambush pursuers in dark, underground passageways. You can even seize the reins of a chariot to fend off hordes of enemies at breakneck speed in impossibly tight pursuits!

Two Thrones - Cowboy - Creighton, MO
I first played this game with PS2, which is why I bought the pc version. I heard all the rumors about the "bad" stuff. I installed the game restarted my laptop (windows7) and played the game for awhile. Using the keyboard is very difficult, which is why I ordered a controler for pc.

So I will wait till then before I continue to play.
And yes it is a very challenging game, especially the chariot race, which I had to keep rewinding time to get it right. :) Assuming the pc version ain't quite different from ps2 version. The Twins boss once again difficult but doable. Have no problems with the starforce deal don't even see it anywhere on my hard drive. I will try and update this over time.

Old game - but new to you - S. Hanson - Fort Worth, TX
The current Prince of Persia game may have graphics that exceed everything previous. But this earlier adventure with the prince is still engaging. The storyline and gameplay have aged well. I especially like the problem-solving situations and the smooth blending of action and movie-sequences. Keep up the good work, Ubisoft.
