Prince of Persia
I've read they're very short, but I'm thinking of picking the first 2 up in lieu of POP3 at Christmas - are they worth my while?

I liked the first 3, but I heard that 4 has gotten some bad reviews so I haven't tried that yet. but, yes in my opinion they are worth your while.

The first one is quite ugly, but very efficient, and the second one is much prettier and varied.

Sands of Time is more puzzle orientated, but the combat is kinda frustrating. DOn't remember it being that short though.
Warrior Within was definetely prettier, more combat orientated, but nevertheless still enjoyable. I would recommend playing either. Mind you if you can get hold of the old old version it's quite good fun and a landmark in game animation when it was released.

To answer your question James, they are definitely worth your time. I don't know how they would stack up in this day and age, but when they were released back then, they were some of the best games available. EDIT: After reading it again, I think you are referring to Sands of time and Warrior within. Sands of Time is a BRILLIANT game. Warrior within is darker, grittier, bloodier, scantier and just not fit for the Prince of persia series.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is, in my opinion, one of the best games to come out in the past five years. Anyone who is a fan of fun is doing themselves a favour by playing this game.
As for Warrior Within, I liked it. It started off rather boring, but about halfway through it had a nice twist that made the game very enjoyable. It's an excellent game for people who loved the Sands of Time gameplay, and a pretty good game for those who loved the Sands of Time story. ...It's terrible for people who loved the Sands of Time music, however.

For comments on POP: Sands of Time, have a look at this thread or, for my personal opinion, I refer you to my sig .
SoT is fantastic and worth every penny of the budget price you'll pay for it now. I've only played the demo of Warrior Within but will buy it when I find it for a suitably cheap-arse price. If you try to consider SoT and WW as two unrelated games, you'll probably enjoy the latter a lot more. If you go in expecting Warrior Within to be a sequel faithful to the Prince of Persia franchise, you're likely to be a little disappointed. |

I loved the first, but I couldn't bring myself to play the second. It had lost all of its charm.
