Story:
The Two Thrones follows the second ending of Warrior Within,
in which the Prince kills the Dahaka and successfully alters Kaileena's
(The Empress of Time) fate. While on a ship en route to his home city
of Babylon, the Prince tosses his magical medallion overboard, as he
believes he no longer needs it. He has promised Kaileena that no harm
will come to her in Babylon, but upon returning, he is horrified to
find the city is burning and ravaged by war. His ship is attacked and
he and Kaileena are thrown overboard. Kaileena is taken prisoner after
drifting ashore.
After fighting his way through the city, the
Prince discovers that as a result of his efforts on the Island of Time
to prevent the Sands of Time from being created, the events of the
original games never happened- the Vizier was never killed. Worse, he
now possesses the empty hourglass, the Dagger of Time, and the magical
staff. The Vizier is now in search of the Sands of Time, and has
captured the Empress of Time to get them. Just as the Prince finds
Kaileena, the Vizier kills her, and unleashes the Sands of Time, which
strike and mutate the Vizier's lieutenants into hideous sand monsters.
Then, by impaling himself with the dagger, the Vizier transforms into a
terrifying immortal winged creature. The Prince is also struck by the
Sands of Time, although the effects on him are not revealed until later
in the story. The unleashed Sands of Time cause the palace to fall
apart and collapse. The Prince falls as the floors collapse around him,
but not before stealing the Dagger of Time.
Later, the Prince
finds that the Sands of Time have split him into two personalities: his
usual self, which although flawed strives to be good and noble; and the
"Dark Prince" who represents the more cruel, avaricious, and arrogant
aspects of his psyche, and is manifested as a bitter and cynical inner
voice. Whenever the Dark Prince is dominant - in the absence of water,
and when he is able to feed on the Prince's fear and anger - the Prince
assumes his dark, corrupted form, although his mind remains intact. In
his natural state, the corruption of the Sands is limited to a glowing
wound on his left arm and shoulder, where the Sands had fused a
razor-sharp chain weapon known as the "Daggertail" into his flesh. The
Prince is alarmed to discover that the wound spreads further with each
metamorphosis into the Dark Prince.
Meanwhile, the Vizier has
transformed his army (and even some of the population of Babylon) into
Sand monsters. While searching for a way to defeat the Vizier, the
Prince once again encounters Farah, who does not remember him, and is
surprised that the Prince knows her name. Although initially wary of
the Prince, she agrees to help him defeat the Vizier.
As they
travel together, the Prince continues to endure the inner struggle
between his noble aspirations (which resonate with the brave and
compassionate Farah, who is also developing feelings toward him) and
the Dark Prince, whose voice is a constant reminder of the Prince's
darker tendencies. The Prince's growing affection for Farah compels him
to embrace a more selfless perspective, beginning with concern for
Farah and developing into compassion for his downtrodden people. As
this begins to happen, he realizes that the Dark Prince, who claims to
be part of him, is in fact a Sand monster, who is vying for control of
the Prince and his kingdom. A particularly heroic and selfless deed
proves a turning point in his mission, as his heroism inspires a new
hope in the populace. With their spirits lifted by the knowledge that
their Prince is fighting to save them from the Vizier, they rise up in
defiance of his army, and provide just enough of a diversion for the
Prince and Farah to get through the horde of Sand warriors guarding the
palace.
Gameplay:
The Prince's acrobatic
skills have improved. He is now able to launch himself off walls at 45
degree angles at strategically placed vertical shutters, slide down
chutes, and balance on swinging poles, among other things.
While in Warrior Within the player fights with a sword, in the Two Thrones, much like The Sands of Time,
the player fights with the Dagger of Time. As a result the combat is a
lot less bloody as the dagger is too short to cut off the heads of his
opponents or slice them in half, unless they are weakened first, or
attacked in a Speed Kill. The designers have also improved the stealth
system. Whereas in the Warrior Within, stealth wasn't an actual
gameplay feature but merely an occasional occurrence, stealth can be
used excessively in the new game in lieu of normal fighting. Instead of
merely being able to do more damage when striking without being seen, The Two Thrones uses a speed-kill system. The system is a lot like the system used in the God of War for boss battles,and also the use of the hidden blade in Assassin's Creed,
and allows the Prince to quickly and quietly kill off any enemy not
aware of his presence. The player cannot perform a speed kill on one
guard if another guard can see it. If the player does not complete the
speed kill, the enemy knocks him off and the speed kill fails. It is
very useful at times where there is a sand portal. The amount of moves
or the length of time required depends on how strong the opponents are.
However, because of this system, the strangle option as featured in the
Warrior Within has been removed. The same system is also used in some
of the boss battles.
The Prince also develops a split
personality, known as the Dark Prince, and this alter-ego constantly
bickers with him in his mind about right and wrong. At times, the
Prince physically transforms into the Dark Prince. These
transformations are scripted and not controlled by the player. During
these times, however, the Prince retains control of his body, and the
player still has control over the character. For the most part, the
Prince's dark side is simply an inner voice.
When controlling the
Dark Prince, the player loses the ability to wield a secondary weapon,
instead using the "Daggertail", a bladed whip fused to his arm. This
opens medium range combat moves (like pulling an enemy closer, then
slashing them) and new interactions with the environment (such as
swinging off poles to reach a ledge). The Dark Prince also constantly
loses health as a result of the semi-transformation, much like the Sand
Wraith from Warrior Within but with eventual death from the
loss. He goes back to full health whenever he collects Sand, from
either a monster or object. Also, his Daggertail gives him a different
button combination for speed kills, in which he strangles his victims.
The Prince returns to normal after the player comes in contact with
water.
