I feel the same way. I don't care either way.

Those gruesome death scenes kinda lose their impact when you can trigger them over and over and over at will. They should only happen every once in a while. Guess a little restraint is just way too much to ask.
I will buy this when it's cheap due to my love of the first game which has not waned and never will. I like the sound of the Metroid-ish structure.
The first game was so, so good. It's sad that they never realized exactly what made it great.
It's weird because there would be an interview before almost every single release where they would talk about how they were going to back to exploring and that feeling of loneliness, and then it would be released centered around shootouts and take place in cities with speedboat chases and what the shit is even going on anymore?
Fighting a man was a boss fight in that game. Believe.
It's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time-syndrome. I actually kind of liked Two Thrones, but the third game was rushed shit. PoP 2008 was fine I guess, but nothing special. You could tell they were finally trying hard to recapture the easy-going banter that made Sands... so charming. Failed hard.
Maybe they just lucked out with the great voice actors in the first game.
Two Thrones was good, I wouldn't call it rushed shit at all. The second game was the glitchy mess that most people hated. I liked PoP2k8 a lot and they did some great stuff with it, although I continue to ignore the DLC because it kind of ruins the perfect ending.
I like PoP 2k8 a lot a lot. I talked to that bitch for hours.
I messed up. The second game was Warrior Within of course. I know people hated it, but I thought it was kind of cool. I played on GC and it wasn't buggy at all. Two Thrones I played on PS2 and it was a rainforest of buggery. Did not care for it one bit. The girl was horrid too I think.
WW depends on how good you are at the incredibly vague map. It's possible to fuck up the entire game by going in the wrong order because they failed at designing the hub area to only allow what they wanted. You can also get stuck in a ton of areas if you ever go back because the game will lock you into a checkpoint into an area that's blocked off, so unless you have a previous save your game is fucked.
I enjoyed the story and time travel stuff, but the combat by the end of WW definitely got to be too much. It was like packs of enemies all the time and the Prince is constantly losing life or some such, and it was just annoying. I did enjoy it much more than the huge backlash against it seemed to be, but it's definitely the weakest game of the series overall.
