The game that makes the trilogy come full circle
User Rating: 9.8 | Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones XBOX
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is the third game in the PoP trilogy. After having such an amazing time playing the first two, I was very excited to get to the third and find out how the story was going to be wrapped up. Without giving anything away, the story wrapped up very nicely, and I was pleased to see that the PoP series continued to have a great storyline that really draws the player in. As for the end of the series, it was a good ending. I do hope to see more of them though, because the gameplay is just amazingly fun. The prince once again is an expert in agility moves and kicking butt. The combat didn't necessarily change from the second game, which was great anyway. The new addition was how a player fights when he/she is the dark prince. His chain weapon is a new addition, and it doubles as a too as well to use in puzzles. I can't say that I enjoy playing as the dark prince too much, but it does speed the game up immensely, because you are forced to move as quickly as you can from place to place before your health is totally drained. One of the best things about this final game is that the designers brought back the voice of the original prince. This served to make the storyline more palatable, because the player gets the old prince back who is more easily identified with. The embittered and hardened prince from the second game with his cheesy one liners is now gone, so the mystical story telling feel is back and back in a great big fun way. If you enjoyed playing the first two Prince of Persia games, then the third one will definitely not disappoint.
