Samuel Dravis Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I wasn't really interested in the first one. I doubt this one will be any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 To this day, I am constantly thinking of getting that game [PoP:SoT] for my Xbox But I heard it was easy TiE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I've been playing the demo a lot recently. Dang, it looks great. It's difficult to control on PC, but I know it's gonna be awesome to play on PS2 (like the first one). Wickido Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomie Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 W00t, i'm certainly gonna dowload this. Loved the sands of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 Originally posted by TiE 23 But I heard it was easy Well you heard correctly, though this game isn't a game to play for the challenge, it's a game to play for the factor. It's really fun and REALLY neat I'm really excited for TWW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coupes. Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I've played the demo already, I downloaded it the day it came out I think. It's pretty awsome, a little more demanding on your PC than Sands of Time but it looks superb. Ubisoft (Montreal) has really focused on the fighting system this time. There are countless moves you can chain together, and aparently there are over 60 weapons and projectiles you can use to defeat your foes. Prince is more badass than ever, and it's a good thing, this game is gonna kick some behind. There are 2 levels on the demo. The first one is a fighting tutorial, where you learn the basics of fighting with one, and two weapons. The second level brings you in a dungeon like environment where you have to fend off multiple enemies, until you meet... the boss :eek: Also, the cinematics are truely awsome...

Mike Windu Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I liked the combat in the first one but they broke it up too much with all the puzzles. Which I really hated. Some were alright but they were just too boring to keep me playing. Ugh. More action needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 The puzzles I thought were what made it fantastic They were so much fun, and it was so cool when you fell off a cliff and then...bwooooop. Back up and do over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I also didn't like how they broke it up into separate puzzles and separate fights. I'm looking forward to this one, actually, because they've combined the puzzle elements and fighting elements into one big continuous game. That and the prince no longer looks like he'd been kicked out of N'Sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_hill987 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 It's not PoP2 its number 5 Prince of Persia Prince of Persia 2 Prince of Persia 3D Prince of Persia: the sands of time so the next one must be called Prince of Persia 5: The Warrior Within Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I loved the first one, but i must admit i'm a bit worried by the new direction of the sequel. I'll admit that the combat was probably the weakest point of the first one (although it was only really the respawning waves of enemies that annoyed me)... but the point of PoP has never been the combat. Infact i'd almost rather they had cut out the combat all together, as it was a bit pointless and kept getting in the way of the puzzles/navigation. Which are, after all, the main reason to play a Pop game. I'm not sure about this "dark gritty bloody" feel either... i liked the feel of the first one as it was a bit different, this just seems like they are making it like every other gothic action game to appeal to all the young kids who want more decapitations. Why take a great original game and make it more like everything else? I'm not sure you could call it easy, but the dagger of time mechanic was a great one for cutting down cheap deaths and having to replay whole levels, which did mean you got through the game quicker. I found a few of the puzzles towards the end a bit tricky though. Wouldn't want to have tried to have played it on a PC though, the controls and framerates probably wouldn't have been quite up to it. I think i'll wait on the reviews to find out if they have wrecked it or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 The PC controls are DEFFINATELY not good. It's VERY difficult to feel like you have any control of what's going on and looking around is really stupid. I did feel that the combat in this one will actually add to the puzzle solving of the last one, and will hopefully just be absolutely awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 didn't play the pc version, as i can imagine it wouldn't be the sort of game that would be best on a pc. I'm hoping that the emphasis on combat in all the hype isn't going to mean that they have ruined the rest of the game... it would be nice if the two were linked together better... it did occasionally seem like *exploration level* *combat level* *exploration level* repeat.... although you probably don't want too much combat breaking up the flow of running through all those walls and traps at high speed. I forgot to mention that possibly the best thing about the original was the storytelling/acting... it was great how they linked it all together as if it was a story being told... and it all went full circle and ended where it started. It was all those little clever polished touches in the voiceover (banter between characters, "Wait... that isn't how it happened! Let me start again" when you died and reloaded, etc...) that pulled it all together. I'm still waiting for reviews to make sure they haven't combatized it too much though...

acdcfanbill Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 i played the PC version of sands of time, was pretty cool, looked nice, but the combat irked me sometimes. not enough to prevent me from finishing the game tho dling presently, 680KB/s i love bittorrent.
