the best game in an awesome franchise
The Sands of Time was a great action game with clever puzzles and an intriguing time manipulation mechanic, although it was a bit short. Warrior Within, the sequel, also delivered on the clever puzzles and mechanics, but the darker tone of the game was a big turn off for many, and the game seemed to drag on forever.
The third game in the Sands of Time trilogy, The Two Thrones, finally matches and exceeds the original game. The tone of the game is returned to it's fairytale-like status, stealth kills and the Dark Prince add to the awesome gamplay, the game itself doesn't feel too long or too short, and it's enjoyable the whole way through. Anyone looking for good action, good puzzles, good story, and a really good game should check out Two Thrones.
