INFORMATION :

Prince Of Persia : The Two Thrones is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Ubisoft Montreal. It was released in December 2005 in North America for the Microsoft Windows.

The game follows the second ending of Prince of Persia : warrior within, in which the prince kills the Dahaka, saves kaileena, and prevents the Sands of Time from being created. The Prince's actions alter the timeline of events that took place in both POP Sands of Time & POP Warrior Within. However, the prince's memories have not been modified, and he still remembers the events from the first two games.

In the original timeline, the Vizier and Maharajah traveled to the island of Time and found an hourglass filled with the Sands of Time. In the modified timeline , they find the hourglass empty and return to babylon. Since the Vizier never realised the Sands of Time and fought the prince' he is still alive at the beginning of this game. Farah, who helped the prince during the events of POP Sands of Time, has never met the Prince.

The Game combines exploration and combat. Both elements make use of the Prince's acrobatic capability and agility. Throughout much of the game, the player must attempt to travers the palace by running acrosss walls, ascending or descending chasms by jumping back and forth between walls, avoiding traps, climbing structures and jumping from platform to platform in the game and making other types of well-timed leaps, solving puzzles and using discovered objects to progress in game.

During combat, many of the same moves vital to the player in other situations can be put to use to overpower enemies. An example is the ability of the Prince to jump off walls in order to strike enemies decisively. The player generally attacks enemies and blocks using dagger, although other objects or factors, such as the dagger of Time and its time-control abilities eventually prove to be critical to victory.

In the game, the Prince's acrobatic skills have improved and now he is able to launch himself off the walls at 45 deegree angles at strategically placed vertical shutters, slide down chutes and balance on swinging poles, among other things . The designers have also improved the stealth system. Instead of merely being able to do more damage when striking without being seen, the game uses a speed-kill system. If somehow the player not complete the speed kill, the enemy knocks him off and the speed kill fails. The amount of moves or the length of time required depends on how strong the oppenents are. The same system is also used in some kind of the boss battles.

The Prince has also develops a split personality, known as the Dark Prince, and this alter-ego constantly bickers with him in his mind about right and wrong. At times, the Prince Physcally transforms into the Dark Prince. These transformations are scripted and not controlled by the player. During these times, however, The Prince retains control of his body, and the player still has control over the character. For the most parts, the Prince's dark side is simply an inner voice.

When the Prince wa trying to controlling the Dark Prince, the player loses the ability to wield a secondary weapon, instead using the "daggertail", a bladed whip fused to his arm. This allows medium range coombat moves and new inferactions with the environment. The Dark Prince also constantly loses health as result of the semi-transfrmation, with eventual death from the loss. He goes back to full health whenever he collects Sand, from either a monster or object and his Daggertail gives him a different button combination for speed kill, in which he strangles his victims. Coming into contact with water allows the Prince to return to normal form.
