This is a really great soundtrack. It has music from the entire Prince of Persia trilogy: The Sands of Time, Warrior Within, and The Two Thrones. The music by Inon Zur is wonderful. It has some modern orchestral dramatic music with middle eastern themes running throughout.

This has about 20 tracks spanning all three games. The tracks are orchestral for the most part, with some background vocalizations (wordless) on a majority of the tracks and actual lyrics on one or two.

While the music is to be found in all of the games, the rock music by Godsmack (from Warrior Within) is absent. For the many who hated that about Warrior Within, you will be pleased. But for those like myself who actually liked those tracks, that aspect is somewhat disappointing. In that way this CD is sort of an edited sountrack, keeping all the middle eastern music themes while discarding the hard rock from Warrior Within which irritated so many people.

Nevertheless, it is still a great soundtrack. I especially like the first Two Thrones track on the disk. Very exciting, and takes me back to all the thrilling speed-kill moments in the game. Recommended.

The whole Prince of Persia Trilogy is one of my most favorite video game franchises out there. Naturally, I wanted this soundtrack to listen too on my Zune, so I forked out the huge amount of money this CD costs, and I do not regret it one bit. You will only probably buy this if you are familiar with the game, so basically if you like the music in the game, you will like the music on the CD. It has all the orchestrated musical pieces (my favorite parts of the album), and every single Guitar-Heavy remix heard in the game. I recommend this to any fan of the PoP franchise, and be sure to check out Prince of Persia on the Xbox 360 in early December!! :-)
