Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Grizzly hates it!
sounds like a bad saturday morning cartoon, with accompanying action figures. 
well, it's not as if "sands of time" was a great subtitle either. i'm going to give the developers the benefit of the doubt, and assume that they couldn't have made a game as brilliant as sands of time without knowing why it was brilliant.

Why didn't they call it: Prince of Persia 2: Teen Angst.
That fits very well with the so called badass director of the Art Department.

What a stupid title. As stupid as Halo's "Combat Evolved", although I'm not sure if that was a true subtitle cause no one ever mentioned Halo as "Halo:Combat Evolved"
Either way, this subtitle sucks, therefore I will not be playing this game
Oh yeah, and Paper Mario 2's subtitle sucks too

THIS GAME IS GOING TO SUCK
Just call it Prince of Persia: Shitty Angsty Art and Story Design, and too much Combat

I can't wait to see this game getting 9+ reviews everywhere. There's going to be some serious crow eating when that happens

I think it looks awesome!
How many times must we go over this?
The art design blows ass, it's all dark and brooding and angsty. What happened to the bright beautiful magical look the first game had?
Jordan Mechner's not writing the story, it's not going to have a heart or a soul like the first one did.
All they've shown is combat so far. Where's the fantastic platforming that was in the first game?
That is why this game is going to suck balls. They're bowing to every fucking cliche in the book (dark character and story, blood all over the place, lots of killing). In the first game they eshewed them all. It had a lot of inspiration from Ico, and told an excellent story and the way the story was presented was better than pretty much any game ever has done before.
Believe me, I want this game to be good more than anybody else but I just don't think it's going to happen.

this guy's responsible.
If I could have gotten a hold of him and beat some sense into him.
He should stop listening to Disturbed, linken park. I should tell him that putting his own tribal tatoo on the major character does not make him a badass.
They can do great art, but god do they have a shitty direction.

Oh please. Prince was already all young and angry in the first game, removed pieces of clothing as the game went on, fights were overabundant, thre was slicing and dicing and decaptitations all over the place. Story was great (although obviously rushed towards the end), but the new game has what seems to be great story as well. PoP was a great game, but there's certainly space for improvement, and the 2nd one will have some of those improvements.

Primal did the whole dark numetal thing a lot better.
OK, I just got a PM from a guy name Zapages. He run the site: http://www.3dap.com/poplegacy (Mods if you read my post please activate his account).
Anyway, this video shows off some of the platforming in PoP2. It looks really good -> http://www.gamezone.tv/videos/pop2.wmv

I wouldn't agree with that, the Prince's interactions with the Princess were amazingly fun in Sands of Time and showed him as a young rich kid, somewhat of an ass with flashes of paranoia, but determined. The final scene between him and the Princess showed that in the end he was a good guy with an extremely strong noble streak. He was a *unique* character and getting that across was made possible by the unique Arabian nights fantasy world he lived in.
Warrior Within on the other hand.... it could be good sure, but everything distinctive about the Sands of Time world has been lost and I just hope that the character development and story telling hasn't been lost along with it.
