    A friend of mine owns the game, I think. Haven't had much chance to see it, but I might check it out someday... not that I ever beat the second one... or the first... <.<;;

    I've heard all the hype about the POP games over time. Played a demo for the first one, didn't think it was all that. It's an okay game, but from what I hear the third one is supposed to be amazing.

    I actually heard that there's quite a number of bugs and glitches... just falling through the floor during boss fights and such. I mean, there's no guarantee that it'll happen to you.. but eh... I dunno. Still looks amazing though.

    the prince of persia series are absolutely amazing, theyre unlike any other thing you have played before. Two Thrones was really good but i think Warrior Within is the best because its longer and has a great story with some interesting twists to it, oh and two endings.
    the PoP trilogy is a must play.

    Well, I finally got around to playing the third POP game today and I was impressed by its physics. There are so many awesome moves you can do in that game. *cough stealth kill cough* ;) The graphics were okay, definately not the best PS2 can do. I guess it's the gameplay that counts in the end though.

    Indeed, but if the game is full of glitches as La Sombra said, it might not be so good, eh?

    What can I say though? With the amount of time I put into playing the series, I might get finished someday... although by that time I might be too busy dealing with the rigors of marraige, kids, and a mid-life crisis. :p

    You found your expiration date!? Oh lordy lordy lord! Hide it!^^

    I find this game quite fun. One of the best adventure games in a while.

    its not that bad. Warrior Within on GameCube crapped on me a few times, no more than three or four though. Two thrones on Xbox glitched once.
    a couple of bugs wont stop you from enjoying these games from start to finish.

    True, a few little mishaps like that won't... but there's been occurrences in both WW and TT that have caused corrupted/deleted game data or just simply being unable to continue past a certain part of the game.

    The game isn't that glitchy, wonder how THAT got started. Everything flows pretty well when I play it, and I have yet to run into a problem. As for that corrupted data stuff, that's happened to me before. DBZ:B3 got me some corrupted data and we had to start all over again. It can happen with any game.

    Yeah, it CAN happen with any game; but I become particularly wary when I take note of consistent accoutns of it only a day or two after the game is released.

    Okay; just about a week ago I decided to get this anyways. (Bought it off of Ebay; game and guide for 35 bucks). As unfortunate as it is, the game only lasted about a day and a half, one of the shortest games I've ever played... but by GOD it was the best day and a half of my life. It ended up actually taking four and a half days because I played it again twice more as soon as I finished it; very rarely do I find a game, especially an action-adventure/platformer game, to be so enjoyable that I play it thrice in a row, back to back. Like Warrior Within, the game mechanics are simply amazing and the addition of the Speed Kill (which I still call Stealth Kill) option gives the feel to the game that I love so much about the Tenchu and Metal Gear Solid games. The only thing I truly find disappointing, aside from how short the game was, is that the selection of weapons seems to be truly lacking but to be honest by game's end, I wasn't even worried about it. As luck would have it, I didn't encounter any real bugs (there was once I jumped onto a pole, but the game showed me as standing in the air before the poll, so when I tried to hop down to hold on to it, I fell to my death and a second time I lept into a crevice to pull myself up and had a similiar experience where I was put into the right animation in the air outside of the crevice and fell to my death when I tried to move; both were easily remedied by just rewinding time and doing the jump again). Anyways, yeah; just had to get this out there considering how against the game because of possible bugs/glitches that I was.
