"Boss, what should we put into a sequel for Prince of Persia? The last one wasn't well received."
"Put in more emo and angst, the teenies love that."
"How 'bout more boobies?"
"Yeah, as much as you can cram in. But keep it T"

More like the evil Vizier Jafaar threatend to kill the Princess within an hour, unless she married him, thereby making him ruler of all Persia. He created a giant hourglass to count the hour down. And cursed the future Prince, forcing him to jump through a tainted mirror, unleashing the evil shadow future Prince upon the dungeons. Our hero must have faith in himself to overcome the adversaries in his way and become one with the Shadow to finally face Jafaar.

Jordan Merchner made a far better story up millions of years ago. He showed Ubi Soft hwo to do it in Sands of Time but NO NO FUKIN NO. They jettison him and go and make rubbish Prince of Gothic France

Maybe I shouldnt' have read this press release. I only played bits and pieces of part 2 at my friends house (who insists its better than the first, despite showing empirical evidence proving otherwise); now the ending is somewhat spoiled for me...

But what from what I've played, the presentation seemed forced. Blood was there for the sake of blood for example. I can only hope that they somehow make the presentation a little more nuanced, as opposed to this 'extreme-in-your-face' attitude this time around.

Is Unisoft still planning on giving a soundtrack as a preorder gift??? I heard that somewhere. POP 2's soundtrack rocked!

PoPWW's soundtrack was mediocre by itself and completely out of place in the game.
