Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars The Two Thrones is Great, but Starforce protection system is not!, April 23, 2006
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (CD-ROM)
Ubisoft, along with many other software companies, is turning to increasingly drastic methods in order to protect their software from pirates. While I understand the need for anti-piracy protection, I don't agree with the invasive and potentially damaging methods to which Ubisoft, publisher of The Two Thrones, has turned.

You see, this game comes with something called 'Starforce Protection System', an anti-piracy solution designed by a group of Muscovites (from Moscow, that is). This 'protection system' installs when you attempt to run The Two Thrones, and installs hardware drivers that basically give new instructions to your optical drives (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM drives). Ostensibly, these 'protection drivers' are meant to verify your copy of the Two Thrones to ensure you aren't using a pirated version. However, these drivers function at a very high level of authorization on your computer (so-called Ring 0 Privileges), which allegedly can leave your computer vulnerable to such malicious programs as trojans and virii. Also, Starforce has been implicated in the damaging of optical drives and hard disks; with the Starforce drivers installed, whenever you attempt to read a disk, there is a chance that Starforce will actually permanently slow down your drive speed each time you access it in any way. Starforce drivers supposedly prevent you from burning cd's or dvd's, in case you wish to make a mix cd of music from what you own, or backup some of the software you have purchased. It also allegedly restarts your computer if it believes you are engaging in illegal activity (for example, you might have drive emulation software running, and are trying to run an image of a cd you've purchased, it may restart your computer because it thinks you're using pirated software).

What it boils down to: The Two Thrones is a great game. I've played through the entire Prince of Persia trilogy and loved it. What I didn't love, however, was the fact that this game installs a possibly damaging and malicious program called Starforce, doesn't inform me BEFORE PURCHASING THE GAME that it utilizes Starforce, and disclaims any liability for any damage that the program or 'included 3rd party programs' may cause to my computer. I understand this is a standard clause for an end-user license agreement, but the 3rd party line gets to me, as if they know Starforce may cause you problems and they are washing their hands of the matter.

My suggestion: If you TRULY wish to play this game, purchase it for the Playstation 2 if you can. If not, it's not worth risking damaging your computer just to play a great game. Ask at a store before you purchase any game if it uses Starforce. I certainly do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent game, December 11, 2005

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (CD-ROM)
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is a great game.

I was hoping the irritating camera issues and visual glitches of the previous two (wildly entertaining) games would be gone... and they are. I am about half way through the game and so far I havent had one crash, slowdown or irritating camera angle jam.

The game runs very well on my Radeon 9800/Athlon 2500/1GB RAM system. The sound and music are top notch and come out beautifully on my 5.1 speaker rig.

The game play is fun with lots of great new moves that add a lot to the puzzles. Without giving too much about the game, the Prince's alter-ego is great fun to play too.

The game is great fun, if you liked the previous two versions, or like platform games, you will love this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe I'm saying this, but..., May 18, 2006

Xtian "Xtian" (Roseville, California) - See all my reviews
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (CD-ROM)
... this game should've been better. I am an extremely loyal fan of this series - in fact, the original game was what I cut my teeth on when I first began to play video games on computers. AND, despite all the nay-sayers out there, I LOVED 'Warrior Within' -- FUN!! (see my review of 'Warrior Within') I really want to LOVE this game too, but so far, I just ... can't.

I must preface by saying I have had no problems with the Starforce issue, so I'm just going to sidestep it -- I'm sure it sucks for some, but I can't relate so I won't comment. What I can comment on is that this game is just too da$% difficult, even at the early levels of the game.

I play a lot of PC games, and really enjoy a challenge (honest), but some of the moves the dark prince has to perform under excruciating time sensitivity are almost impossible and thereby these sequences become more than frustrating. I game to relax, not to lose my temper and feel like pouding my fists on something. I understand why the challenge of *SPOILER* making the dark prince's life ebb away every single second (like the 'wraith prince' in the last game) might've seemed like a good idea, but combining that challenge with having to make split second decisions about where to leap to and learning a completely different set of combo moves whenever the dark prince is in play all while battling really difficult enemies is just too much.

Even when playing as the regular prince, I sometimes need a moment to observe the game world and consider my next move. Playing as the dark prince allows for no such luxury, and unfortunately the level designs for the dark prince are not always so obvious or intuitive. After awhile, it just isn't fun anymore, but becomes tedious and unpleasant.

The chariot and golum-steering sequences are really neat ideas, but again as with much of the rest of the game are just too #$#%ing difficult - it is insanely easy to oversteer and unless you are cheating you will find these sequences consuming unbelievably huge amounts of time to complete properly.

In addition, the boss battles towards the end of the game are flat out ridiculous - boss enemies should definitely be challenging, but if the outcome of the game is for the hero to succeed, success should be POSSIBLE. It's as if the developers think most people have unlimited amounts of time, not to mention patience, to sit around playing and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and reloading and trying again and rinsing and then repeating for weeks and weeks on end (and maybe some people do, but as a parent of two with a household to run, I DON'T have that kind of time).

After completing this game (which took what seemed years), I had pretty much forgotten all the sequences that led up to the finish because it had taken me so ridiculously long to get there. And then, just to make sure I had evaluated it correctly, I went back and played on the easy setting WITH a cheating trainer enabled and it was STILL RIDICULOUSLY DIFFICULT in many areas, EVEN on the easiest setting and full cheats!! That's insane, stupid, and too over the top. I don't want an epic life-long game experience with this one title - I want to enjoy it, play it a few weeks, and then MOVE ON with my life.

In reading back over this, it sounds like I'm whining, but I'm truly not -- I want other gamers considering this title to know what they're getting into.

All that said, the game is beautiful -- really, it looks insanely cool -- the changes Ubisoft made to the look and feel to appease people who couldn't connect with 'Warrior' were masterfully wrought, the diatribe between the two sides of the prince is interesting and really pulls you into the storyline... all that adds up to a truly enjoyable gaming experience marred by periods of intense frustration. =( Oh, well - I guess you truly can't please everybody. Definitely a good effort, and definitely worth the sale price.
