Prince of Persia ascends to Two Thrones
The Sands of Time are kicking up more trouble in Ubisoft's just-released climax to the revitalized adventure series.
With Santa Claus no doubt sitting down to hash out who's been naughty and who's been nice this year, the Prince of Persia is no doubt giving St. Nick fits. Ubisoft today released Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and PC, and its protagonist clearly belongs in both categories.
A noble hero in 2003's Sands of Time, and an angst-ridden dervish of death in Warrior Within, the prince is both in The Two Thrones. After a lengthy exile from his kingdom, the prince returns home to find his land invaded and his people slaughtered. Making matters worse is the returning Sands of Time, which have now corrupted the acrobatic hero and are fueling the evil intentions of his alter ego.
That dichotomy of good and evil is represented in the gameplay as well, where players will control both of the prince's personalities through exploration, combat, platforming, and puzzle-solving. New gameplay features include speed kills, in which the prince sneaks up behind enemies and dispatches them without a fight, chariot races, and new time-altering abilities.
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is rated M for Mature and will retail for $49.99. Check back later today for GameSpot's full review.

Yay, maybe I'll get it this weekend. It had excellent reviews in other countries so far.
i dont care how good it does on the reviews im still getting it
these games are great and evil at the same time. I love the game ( 10 out of 10) i even preferd Warrior Within over the Sands Of Time. They are evil because my Dad tryed SOT and now i can't get him off my Xbox.
This game is Perfect , i play all the Ver, i can't wait when they ship the game to my country , and i'll give it a 9.0.

Also I hope the game is StarForce 4 Protected, that should really screw you over... Already ordered it - got all the others, in my eyes SOT and WW equally as good, SOT focused on Puzzles whereas WW had its fight elements, lets just hope they put the best of both worlds into TT. I'll give it my traditional 10/10 anyway because POP games RULE!
The first 2 games did extremely well, this'll surely be at the top.
I just sure as hell hope they captured the magic of Sands of Time again... Gameplay alone couldn't save Warrior Within either.
This game is fantastic. Go buy it now. Support Canadian developers.
Rated M? Dangit, I would buy this game if it wasn't for that one letter, I'm seven-teen but come on, do they think they need violence in a game to make it superb? I guess sooo....*sigh*
Whoo-hoo, an 8.6! That warrants buy from me. The pros listed outweighs the cons by far to me.
i can't wait!!!! is going to be a awesome game if its anything like the others:)
