Ah....finally...the last insatllment we have all be waiting for......yipppeeeee!!!!
All is going well.....until the boat truns the corner and we see Bablyon occupied by horirble people who have appeared out of the blue.....and just when it couldnt get worse....the Prinecs newly bought boat is devasted by a missile, both boat memebers get shipwrecked....and if things could not get nay worse, the vagabonds kidnap Kaileena and take her to......THE VIZIER?!??!?! What the heck is he doing in these parts??? No doubt getting his own back on the Prince.......
Wait.......when the Prince eventually meets up with the Vizier after a heavy session of bounds, leaps and slahses.......he is again done for by one of the henchmen, who wraps a strange object around the Princes arm....A few moments later, the Vizier stabs Kaileena, who vansihes into thin air and sends a shower of sand all throughout Babylon....so was she human after all then??? hmmm.......no one ever told the Prince that love would not be on his tarot cards lately....ah well.....the sand is somehow sucked into the Prince, and he develops a split personality......whihc may come in handy later in the game.....
Again we see the Prince unleash frantic free from frighting frenzy fits.....hah, that took a lungful to explian!!!! You also have the abilty to do speed kills now, that get rid of enemies swiftly at various occasions...... As well as obatin a wide variety of swords and power ups......you will ahve to play to find out, as I am only part-way through the game.....the scenery is now mnore beautfil than Warrior Within, with some outdooor adventures as welll as those within scary chambers....
The characters are all wel and good.....the bosses are even bigger, and take a lot of jumping and hitting to thwart.......the other stooges are varying too......each with their own weaponary and skills (though they talk quite rarely...a lesson learned from thier former gang members perhaps???...i.e. the more you babble, the more you get yourself skewered?????) As well as the unexpected Vizier...we also have the unexpected arrival of another, more likeable character.........ah....not telling you!!!! u will see when you play........but more evidently, theres the dark Prince, who comes about at certain stages of the game.....with this guy you can use the dagger and daggertail whip only......as well as reach parts of the environment that the normal happy Prince cannot reach....
The music and sound effects are very good...now we see more of a Middle-Eastern/Asian mix of music, as well as the occaional vocals to spice things up a bit......also, its good to see the prince scream and shout like he used to when he struck, got struck, and fell off ledeges (rather than the horrifying screams and herat thumping reamrks he made throughout the game)....
Again....this game really had me glued to the screen...and the fact that it actaully worked on my PC DVD drive was amazing.....unlike other games e.g. Cold Fear, Beyond Good and Evil , and Blood Omen 2, to name but a few......I am reallylloving it and look forward to see how it all ends up!!!!
