Somehow The Sands of Time never drove me to play on. I could put that game away for weeks and then play a few hours again. But the ending was just fabulous. One of the best game endings.
Well, at least for what you expect.

Yea, the ending was perfect. It couldve ended with that one game, no sequals, and it wouldve gone down as the stuff of legends.

So has anyone played this game yet? I'm quite a ways through it, and I must say it definitely feels like a return to form. I think I still prefer Sands of Time, but this game is definitely a close second and sh*ts all over Warrior Within.

Unfortunately, however, I'm at a boss right now which has got to be one of the most annoying and horribly designed boss battles ever. Literally 40 times I've attempted to beat it and still haven't won, all thanks to the game's poor battle system which is still pretty sloppy after 3 games.

I should be getting it for Christmas. Yea, the fighting was never all that great, seemed kinda buggy, especially in Warrior Within.

****IF YOU DON'T WANT A SPOILER, JUST SKIP THIS WHOLE POST****

Is that the one with the axe and sword guys? Yeah, I hated that one. I ended up with only one sand tank when I got there, too.

Yes, that boss was horrible, and when I got there I had no sand tanks. Piss me off proper, it did.


On another note, I finished the game. Pretty darn short if I do reckon so, but that's what you come to expect from games of this nature. Good wrap up of the "trilogy" (the franchise will continue in some way on the next gen systems), though I still think Sands of the Time is the bestest.

Ive been playing this one, and im really enjoying it a lot more than Warrior Within. Its still no Sands of time, but its a definate improvement. To be honest though, it wouldnt bother me if they made the next one basically all platforming and just did away with the fighting entirely. It just slows down the awsome platforming.
