Picked this up today and does it ever use the power of the XBOX. Besides the fact that it looks great it plays like a dream. Instead of too much puzzle and not enough action like the first PoP, Ubisoft totally delivered a well-balanced game with a much darker story. If you were not sure about getting it before get off the fence and pick it up.

Can you tell me what the Live aspects are? I heard one of them is that you do time trials for certain levels and compare your time to other players. I love that kind of thing.

So far, this game is bullshit to me. I mean what the fuck? I'm playing on NORMAL, and I get to this one part where there is a water fountain, and EVERY time i drink "do you wanna save?"

NO I DONT WANNA FUCKING SAVE.

The water fountain is next to this huge-ass floorspike grid, with this idiotic spinning spike-tube.. After FINALLY getting past that shit... there is NO FUCKING WATER to be had, ANYWHERE, and all these fucking Ninja Bitches that like pain keep sweeping the shit out of me.

Finally get past them, and guess what... NO HEALTH, and NO FOUNTAIN. The attacking is still as slow as shit, too. That's the only thing that really sucked about the first one, but it had great puzzles. Anyway, the attacking sucks shit, I hit X 3 times, and get this:

whooooooosh.........
...
..

pause..

whooooooooooosh.......

pause.... pause.....
Whooosh.

That shit is STILL in this game, they didn't fix it. So I'm at no fucking health, with no fucking water anywhere, and two Rewind Sand blobs, I FINALLY get to the target I want, so I can open a door... and a fucking NinjaBitch pops out and wants me to shove a spiked bat in her cunt, and knocks me off the fucking LEDGE we are on. Does the prince Block even though Im holding R? Nope.

Fuck that man. I'm probably going to erase it tomorrow, and just replay the first one. This game sucks shit. it's prince of persia god dammit, not fucking Mortal Kombat.

that has to be lamest rant I've ever seen on this site

I would have at least understood had you actually spent hard earned dollars on the game

I am not as fond of this one as I was for the first one but it still is a strong game. I kinda don't like the fights (too tedious and still repetitive) and I am a little disapointed in the graphics (where's my 720p? + cut scenes are of inequal quality with some pixelization and blockiness in the character).

My main complaint is the darkness of the game and the music - Where the first game had a nice middle eastern touch to it (PoP after all), this one is very dark and reminds me a lot of Ico (The big fortress).
As far as the music go I really do not see what the hard rock has to do with anything. It's usually my favorite music but I'd have prefdered some softer/middle eastern sounding tunes in there.

Still a solid platformer hard enought to entertain you for some time (Took me like 12 tries to beat the first boss but when you get used to controls it becomes easier, I still feel that the controls are a little under the ones from the GC version).

Wow, I enjoyed the first one. I played the demo of WW and I thought the fighting was improved. I also liked the middle-eastern theme but oh well.
