The first was fan-fucking-tastic. I haven't played the second two, although I may just do that this summer.

Seriously, they got Sands of Time absolutely spot on because they realised that the original spirit of PoP (I'm talking the original one here) was a complete Western fantasy, bearing more resemblance to Xanadu than the Gulf. The whole telling-a-story approach was inspired, the look and feel of the game was absolutely gorgeous, the control and combat mechanics were simple yet let you do some very cool looking stuff, and Farrah had the hottest ass on a video game character ever. What's not to like?

Heheh, hopefully you'll like Warrior Within.  It's not as good as Sands of Time, but it's story is damn good.  And The Two Thrones is the perfect blend of Warrior Within and Sands of Times.  Plus the ending is spectacular!!

I got really, really, bored with the Warrior Within.  It started off weak, then kinda got interesting, then got really really dull all over again. In terms of fun, it is not as good as the Sands of Time. Nowhere in the same room, actually.  If you really liked the first game, like, really really liked it, then sure, pick it up... but you should probably play the demo first.

Haven't played the third one so judgement remains ungiven.

The first one was just absolutely amazing, the fact that my xbox is a piece of shit and has broken down on me is shitting me to tears as I can't play it anymore or finish Two Thrones (GAH!). If I can find them all on Gamecube it'll all be ok...

Warrior Within isn't terrible but it's definately not in the same league as Sands of Time and Two Thrones. If I can find them all on Gamecube it'll all be ok...

I picked up The Warrior Within for a fiver, played half of it and then got stuck. Went on gameFAQs and realised I wasn't stuck through stupidity, but through GLITCHINESS. I went to the Prince Of Persia forums to try to find a way around it, and discovered the official glitch list was fifteen pages long. I stopped playing after that.

Yeah that was one of the major problems with Warrior Within.  Luckily mine didn't have any glitches.   :-D

Every time I hear "Prince of Persia" I think first of the Demon, not the game, or any actual Imperial monarchs.

DANIEL 10:20 Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I must return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I am through with him, the prince of Greece will come. 21 But I am to tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth. There is no one with me who contends against these princes except Michael, your prince."

Honestly, how many people do you think are really that familiar with the bible here?
