A wonderful mix of platforming and combo fighting

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones was an excellent mash of newly inventive platforming levels and enticing fights with enemies that utilize the need for skilled combinations and properly timed sneak attacks. The platforming aspect always kept me guessing as I strained to find the next shutter to jump to or poll to swing on. This is one of the few games that actually messed with my ability to separate myself from the game as I got goose bumps every time I almost fell off of an impossibly high-up ledge. Fighting enemies was also pushed to a new level as you alternate between two distinct fighting styles, upgrade weapons throughout the game, and learn new skills with major victories. All though, on occasion, the platforming became tedious as you spend 20-30 minutes in the same area, that is easily over looked once you reach your goal. Overall, I must say that this game was both extremely enjoyable and visually appealing.
