about 2003, 2004, 2005 Prince of Persia games

I played PoP: The Sands of Time. I was not particularly impressed by the gameplay or game design, but the graphics were acceptable. Will I be dissapointed by Warrior Within and The Two Thrones, or are these games more promising than the precursor?

Warrior Within was really good imo, i havent tried Two Thrones yet, but i heard that it was great

Well I liked Sands of Time (nothing amazing but a good game). I got bored of WW and I havne't finished TT yet. So far I have to say I like Sands of Time the best. It had the best mix of puzzles, platforming and action. Warrior Within got annoying with constant fights and travelling to the same places and I dropped it. Two Thrones has you play as the dark prince every so often which sounds cool but really it's pretty lame. You pretty much just repeat the same attacks to get life you constantly lose back. You're not any more powerful than the regular prince and it is more of a burden than anything to play as the dark prince. I'll reserve final judgement 'till later but so far Sands of Time takes the cake.

I'd still take the very first Prince of Persia, the 2D side scroller for my 386, any day of the week over the 3D ones.

I hated Sands of Time and Two Thrones is one AMAZING game, it feels totally different than the other two, so much more action and...just overall more fun

I preferred Sands of Time to Warrior Within. Haven't played The Two Thrones yet.

Played the first, didn't interest me. Never played the rest.

I got Warrior Within bundled with my graphics card. I installed it and within an hour I had uninstalled it.

It was possibly one of the worst games Ive ever had the misfortune of playing. Lazy camera and clumsy controls did it for me, it just wasn't an enjoyable experience.

But each to their own. I used to enjoy the 2D ones as Fishlore said. But these new 3D ones are just awful.

I got WW with a graphics card. Not played it yet, it said somewhere that it was designed to be played with an anologue controller. I've been thinking about buying one of those XBox controller to USB converters. Would that be worth it or should I just uninstall it?

I don't like the dynamics of Sands of Time. You enter a room full of enemies, you kill them, then you solve some lame puzzle (usually figuring out how to climb something), and then you are throw into another room full of enemies, but this time there are twice as many...

By the way, did anyone here play Prince of Persia 3D (1999)? The graphics were not as good as those of Sands of Time (they were similar to the graphics of the Tomb Raider games back then), but in general, gameplaywise it was a much more enjoyable experience than Sands of Time.. The level design was also more creative and original.. To give you an idea of how good it is, compare HL to Soldier of Fortune, that's how good PoP3D is next to Sands of Time. I can't believe PoP 3D received so many negative reviews. People seem to reward games based solely on their graphics.

I could never finish SoT, but rest assured, if you want a game that has action, adventure and head scratching puzzles just like back in the day - pick up the PoP series.
