Sorry if old. If you can read dutch. Where is the color in this game? I see some Ninja Gaiden influence. If the combat is different than the 1st game it looks like a must buy.

The Ninja Gaiden influence is strong with this one.
I wouldn't say completely different but let's say it's POP combats done right.
Did you check the lastest trailers of it on http://www.gametrailers.com ?
If not, look at the one called "Free form fighting" or something.

Platforming + Mature = platformauturing???
I am sure it is going to be a lot of fun. I don't really care about the xtreme look because as long as they improve on the base they had with POP then I know the game will be able to back it up where it matters.
I actually like the changed aesthetics, though I could do without decapitations all the time (its cooler when it happens less often IMO) but like I said, I am confident the substance will be there as well so I don't care

Looking good. and now if they can get the action done right, then I may have to get this game.

Decapitations (and cleaving people vertically) are one thing, but what I don't like is the attitude change. I just showed PoP2 to a friend and killed some people, did some platforming. Then I popped (pun not intended) in PoP1 and the change is stunning.
PoP1 is a modern fairytale. It has all that Arabian Nights storytelling to it, with the soft backgrounds and that amazing voice actor. Then you get PoP2 with heavy metal, bloody fonts and a main character that goes "YOU BITCH!". It's like comparing Street Fighter to Mortal Kombat.
The platforming might still be good and the fighting might be a bit improved (although it's still fairly random) but I don't really feel like taking this new Prince on a quest for 10 hours.

I like the change. The original PoP was a pretty gory and dark game itself...especially for the time. The death animations looked particularly shocking for a game from 1989 on the Apple ][. Although, I'm sure that part of the change in this game was marketing-driven. Still, not all that great a change from the original's feel, just overtly darker than the remake of PoP.

No, in the ship stage when you meet a female boss, she eventually cuts him across the chin (in a short cutscene, no less) and he goes "You BITCH!" before the battle continues.

The prince needed more attitude. I like it. Good characters always have lots of attitude. Sonic, I'm looking at you!

The graphics have improved and the art style has started to grow on me. If the fighting engine is done right and they add some good puzzles, then I might consider it.
However, if the prince talks as angsty as he looks and they throw in more butt-metal than arab music, I'll consider a rent unless the reviews say otherwise.
But it doesn't excuse the horrible box art.
EDIT: GODSMACK SUCKS.
