Just finished Prince of Persia Two Thrones;
Combat was meh (so meh that at the end you get a sword that 1-shot all enemies), QTEs in combat were a shit design and a pain in the ass.
The port was bad with fucked up gamepad support, with the prince moving on its own, very annoying where I needed some precise movement; in the end I had to use KB+mouse for the boss fights and for some platforming sequences.
There's one underground sequence which reminded me of the beginning of original Prince of Persia, which might have been intentional.
What kept me playing was the platforming, which I found very enjoyable, not as automated as AssCreed, but not too difficult either, mostly pressing the jump button at the right time. It's quite obvious how they went from PoP to AC though. One good feature is when you arrive at the start of the level with a panning camera shot showing all the progression you're going to do.
Playing with the Dark Prince was mostly fun, since he's more powerful, so combat is quicker and having a kind of grappling hook made platforming more fun, except for sequences with traps that hurt you, considering that his life bar is constantly going down
, which made for a few annoying restarts; I mostly cheesed those sequence with slowing down the time.
Edit: I also finished the end boss only because there were two platforming sequences, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with it.
Overall I'd say, among the Ubisoft Prince of Persia games, above Warrior Within, but not as good as Sand of Time or the 2008 one.
