Well I've been playing PoP2 WW for about 5 days now and all I have too say is WOW this game is freakin sweet. I would still like too know about this rumour of having no puzzles because the game I'm playing has tons of them.

I'm a little pissed off they didn't keep the cinema cutscenes like back in PoP SoT and now they are using the ingame engines on most of them. It was interesting hearing some licensed music in the game and surprised they just didn't compose it themself instead like in the Dahaka chases they play I stand alone most of the time don't get me wrong its a great song but when you keep hearing it over and over it gets a little tiring.

I love the new combo system they made for this game but they should really have made the combo list a you learn yourself thing not give you every damn combo and move in the game right at the beginning would have been more fun that way especially if you just happen too do the right combo and unlock it and a screen comes up showing you that button combo or something along those lines.

Playing through this island reminds me of Metroid having too go back and fourth about 2 or 3 times before finding where you are suppose too go.

Still with all of the above said I can't complain and hope theres a Prince of Persia 3 heh.

So if you have played it tell us what you thought of the game and post I'm curious too what other people have too say.

Also if your stuck and want help in a part just say what part your stuck on and I'm sure someone will private message you how too do it if you really want too know. Please though keep any walkthroughs of the game in the private messages as others may not have purchased or got a chance too play this wonderful game yet.

The engine is quite beautiful. This game is definatly ten times better than SoT, which is great, because SoT was a fun game too. Having a lot of fun with it. All of the new combos are really fun, and the game is a LOT harder, which adds more replay value.

I like Sands of Time better, it just seems like this one was rushed. Plus SOT was playable on the PC, WOW seems to be more console friendly. They also made the camera worse.

Wrong thread, your sig is way too big, and fable is very good but the main storyline is very short. (Plenty of extras to take care of that)

I never finished playing Sands Of Time. The puzzles just got too damn boring. I've played the demo for PoP2. It seems really coolass. But i have no idea if it's the same prince and/or why he's so different. It seems more focused on combat and i quite love the fighting.

Yes it is the same prince, and he is so different because he's been running almost none-stop for several years from an immortal incarnation of fate, known as the Dahaka.

So ya, he's a little pissed off.

I HATE the direction they went with this one.

PoP is about puzzles and some fighting, not fighting and some puzzles. Also, the angsty nu-metal is killing my soul. BEACUSE IM BREAKING THE HABIT WHILE CRAWLING IN MY SKIN CONFUSING WHAT IS REAL.

Can anyone explain to me how the fighting system is so much different from SoT? As far as I can tell, they gave you new combos, new arial attacks, a small set a grapple attacks and a marginally useful second weapon. How is this free form while SoT wasn't. Also, despite all these new moves I still found the insta-kill combo and spammed it through the whole demo, killing hordes of enemies with no problems whatsoever just like in SoT. The only time I couldn't use it was on the metal-thong wearing boss chick, but for her I just did the roll stab over and over and didn't take a lick of damage.

Without strong puzzles PoP is just another generic fighter. I guess I'll give the full version a try and see what it's like.

Hey, your getting the wrong idea, warrior within didn't replace puzzles with fighting, it just greatly improved the fighting system to add on top of the puzzles. There are still a lot of puzzles, but now you get a much greater fighting system in between them.

Well I thought the game was pretty fun, (my friend bought it and we played it a bunch yesterday) but I could definitely see getting burned out on it fast. The problem is that the story isnt strong enough for me to want to go through all of that **** time and time again, especially when fighting is exactly the same every time, and the puzzles are pretty much the same every time. It's fun for about a day and then I lose it...just not enough variety to keep me interested.

Actually it isn't, the first Prince of Persia never had any puzzles, PoP is a platform like Mario (hell even Mario never had any brain breaking puzzles) the goal with platform games isn't about puzzles (if you wanna play a puzzle game with well thought puzzles go play Adventures games like The Legend of Zelda, even Eternal Darkness has got nice puzzles) it's about running through a level avoiding obstacles, traps and over come enemies.

Well, I finally got the game yesterday, but for some reason the game crashes halfway through the intro movie, when the prince says "This storm shows us no mercy!" Anybody know what's causing this? I already tried reinstalling, but to no avail.

I wish I could help you, I've got it on xbox...sorry.

And yes, this game is very good, the fighting system works very fluid and moving the prince around in general is fun. The story, wow. Say what you want but the story is amongst one of PoP2's best points. Only bad thing I could find was that I finished (yet another new game XD) in under 10 hours.....I wish they made games longer these days.

oh and, the Dahaka is the Guardian of the Timeline, not an immortal incarnation of fate :p;)

Well I played on normal and I still think the game could've been a *little* harder/longer. :\

Well, traded in my copy for a new one, works this time. Haven't played too far yet, but I like what I've seen so far.
