Well, where should i start? I think the first point to cover is the split personality aspect of the game (seeing as how that is what the main thing is in this PoP). I enjoyed the challenge of playing with two different characters, which means mastering two fighting styles, but the constant loss of life while in, what i have dubbed, "dark" form (the chain man). this small inconvienence becomes a large problem at some times, ESPECIALLY during the sections of the game where the puzzles and he journeying throught the castle. but in the defense of the game at the same time, they creators did a good thing and made it easier to get life back in dark form, that is, if u can find a basket or something to destroy (sandbags, crates, tables, ,etc.). there is also a slight problem in the health dept. for the prince in his actual form, his "light" side. for those who did paly the first PoP, u will recall that there were many places to refill your health, sometimes even have water in an area that you are fighting in. that is not the case with this PoP. You have to make your health last longer (which is always good for a challenge), and you cannot depend on a water source being right around the corner most of the time.
Now for the good stuff. Just because the game got more difficult, doesnt make it a bad game. I had a good time playing it, overall. The fighting system hasnt really changed much (which is always lovely), but there have been some new parts added in. The biggest one tha stands out is the speed kills. silent assasin-style killing makes this game all the better.i dont know about u but i love being able to neutralize an enemy without having to fight him. Also the couple of new actions the prince can pull off are nice too. Bringing back old characters is always nice too.
Overall, if you are a PoP fan, i would definitely give this one a spin. it was a lot of fun, and a bit challenging. i hope u enjoyed my insight on this title.
