Upon second play, Ocarina of Time reveals even more of its unique and addicting gameplay. The well written storyline however simple in its nature, is beautifully expressed visually especially Link's transformation into an adult and the darker second half of the game. The aspects of the game when time passes into night is small but adds a sense of time, leading to specific events happening only in day or night. Each level or temple has a distinct elemental feel, and is beautifully integrated into the level design, especially the water temple. The level design is distinctly unique, and the interaction with the different races in Zelda further creates a sense captivation with storyline, 3D world, and progression of time, definitely set the playing field for all future 3D action games.

Upon first play Ocarina of Time has an amazing feel for a N64 game. The world is completely immersive and enthralling, immediately placing the player at the center of gameplay. The 3D action gameplay was revolutionary for its time, creating a game that was fun as well as engaging. The first real goal of the game is to meet the princess and you must sneak past the castle guards, this level design was extremely different than classic Zelda gameplay, yet utlizing the same classic elements of the old games such as the sword, shield, bow, and boomerang. The revolutionary immersive 3D world fantasy world, and the simple yet fun interaction with the environment creates a very good first impression.

Upon second play Prince of Persia the Two Thrones definitely lives up as a great addition to the franchise. Definitely the well developed combat system, involving combos that are unlocked from the beginning of the game, unlike the previous game, and the new speed kill system allow for a much better more aggressive Prince of Persia game. The plethora of quick action sequences dubbed speed kills, reminiscent of Shenmue, help keep the Player in the middle of the game at all times. Although the storyline in this game is not as engaging as the classic Sands of Time, it offers a definite conclusion to the Sands of Time storyline. The main purpose of this game was to improve on the lacking aspects of the second game and wrap up the storyline. The new features added a little more excitement to the game it essentially emulates the original Sands of Time classic gameplay, but in a faster paced setting with lots of enemies to kill as well as some puzzles thrown in for typical gameplay. Sand of Time as a package was a more revolutionary game in terms of gameplay, interactiveness, storyline, and engaging, fun puzzles. The Two Thrones just adds some entertaining bells and whistles in addition to the great gameplay of the original game while smoothing out some of the bumps in the Warrior Within.

I started this game after dejectedly giving up on the extremely average Prince of Persia: the Warrior Within. Although that other game did add some interesting aspects to the Prince of Persia gameplay, such as more fight sequences, double weapons, and sophisticated combos. The main differences between this game and the predecessor is that combines the great features of the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, such as storytelling and intelligent puzzles, and the fast paced fighting combos of Prince of Persia. This game vastly smoothed out the combo system, camera angles, and movement problems posed in the second game. The new speed kill system , adds new elements of stealth to the game allowing you to sneak behind enemies and through time activated button pushing kill your enemy without taking any damage. Also they added a second character that the Prince turns into periodically for an interesting dynamic to the dialog and storyline. Overall my first response is wow this is definitely a worthy addition to the prince of persia sands of time storyline, making up for the slowness and monotony of the second game with new features and developed storyline.
