After many dangerous adventures, the Prince returns to Babylon, accompanied by his new bride, Kaileena, the Empress of Time. Their dreams of a calm and happy future together are destroyed when they arrive in Persia to find the country devastated by war. The terrible Vizier soon captures and murders Kaileena, and her death unleashes the Sands of Time, from which the Vizier gains terrifying new powers.
The Prince of Persia must fight once more, but this time he will be stronger than ever, thanks to his new alter ego, the Dark Prince, created due to the Prince’s encounter with the Sands. As he strives to rescue his realm from a lunatic, he must face his inner demons as the Dark Prince threatens to absorb him completely.
Regarding fight and puzzle sequences, the game is highly similar to the previous installments of UbiSoft’s Prince of Persia trilogy: The Sands of Time and Warrior Within. There are several notable additions, such as the character of the Dark Prince, who periodically inhabits the main protagonist and offers him new combos and moves. A new skill called “Speed Kill” is highly efficient against all opponents in the game (victims are ambushed from behind and slain violently and stealthily).
In Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, the player will explore not only the streets of Babylon but also his father’s wrecked palace, a temple, and the famous Hanging Gardens.
