"Holy mega gods of video and mayhem! I thought, "Prince of Persia-
Warrior Within" was one of the most infuriating and frustrating games I've ever
played. Well, I was wrong. There is no other video game that I know of that is
more frustrating, more infuriating, and more, not to put it too plainly,
loathsome than "Prince of Persia- The Two Thrones".
Playing this game is everything BUT enjoyable, let alone fun... it's more like a
concentrated effort in giving your gamers aneurisms, or seizures... or both!
"Two Thrones" has an antiquated Saving feature. Whatever you call them- Save
Stations, Save Spots- the fact that you cannot save when you want, requires the
gamer to repeat himself, and his actions time and time again, hour upon hour;
which only leads to rage and frustration; which in essence pulls you out of the
game and back into reality (where, I assume, most gamers don't really care to
be). Unless, you do a move absolutely perfect not once, not twice, but three or
four or seven times you are forced to repeat yourself, and possibly your
mistakes, over and over.
I honestly don't understand the mentality of programmers who make there games
not simply difficult, but hard. And I'm not talking "mentally challenging"...
no, I'm talking about manipulating a little computer generated man to jump at an
obtuse angle, at precisely the right moment or risk an episode in futility as
you try to correct every little mishap and mistake for seemingly all eternity.
This is not fun. Video games should be fun. When they lose their ability to be
fun, you lose your audience. And, I might ad, it's a shame. I wish "Two Thrones"
was fun. I like the world. I like the blood and gore, and the time manipulation.
I like the acrobatics and the story (what little there is).
"Two Thrones" has all the makings of a good, enjoyable game, but thanks to a
group of programmers more inclined to enrage, stymie, and annoy their gamers,
rather than serve them gleeful smiles beget by bucket-loads of CGI enhanced
violence, "Two Thrones" falls short way short." - Kevacho
