It's nice to see some new videos from the game but I'm unsure about this one.
The first one pissed me off toward the end and I just gave up on it.
The second one was far more fighting and I wasn't too thrilled about that. I also disliked backtracking all the time and grew tired of that in a hurry. Lastly let us not forget the glitches and bugs in the second game.
The next installment looks amazing and fun but I'm waiting for reviews and comments from people on here before I get my hopes up.

Hard to get excited over a sequel to a game that will get yearly sequels for the foreseeable future.
I loved the first one for the most part, haven't bothered with the second one yet since they put an emphasis on fighting and made the prince "extreme."
The previews I've read in EGM for the 3rd one say they're going to put more puzzles in, but still have the fighting scheme and prince character from the 2nd one, so I'll wait and see how it turns out.

i actually liked the music in the second one when i watched my friend play it, but i never really had the motive to rent it. I did play through the first one, it was pretty good, but a little too easy and too much fighting IMO.
These games come out way too fast, 1 every year it seems, i can't keep up so i'll play them eventually but i'm not too interested in the new hardcore angle right now.

I hate the new angst-filled Prince and have yet to play the sequel because I'm still afraid I might not like it. Loved The Sands Of Time even though the fighting sucked simply because the game had charm to spare and the fighting wasn't where the real challenge was found. This latest instalment bring to mind God Of War and not in a good way.
Part of me still wants to play it because it PoP but I'm not too excited. At least not as much as when I saw The Sands Of Time for the first time.

Count me as one that enjoyed the puzzles a lot more than the fighting. one reason why I haven't jumped at the second one yet. I don't see the third being much different.
As for the difficulty, I thought TSoT was perfect. Not too hard, and not too easy.

Spoiler:
The rest of the game was perfect and I really enjoyed myself up to that point.

I was excited to hear about a 3rd game but just looking at the screens made me change my mind. I will not be buying this one!

I enjoyed the first one because of the sense of fun. Plus, the art direction was outstanding.
The second one tossed that aside so that we could have ANGRY PRINCE. Then in the game when he turned into Raziel from Soul Reaver, I lost all patience with it.
The 3rd looks like more of the same. But, seeing as they only have a year to pop out these sequels, I guess more of the same is all we should expect.

POP1 was such a great game, but didn't sell well at all. Same was true for the excellent Beyond Good and Evil. That is why the developers made the Prince more "street". I agree they should have just gone all out and gave him an AK-47 and a 40oz and just made POP: Vice City.
POP3 doesn't look to be any better than the last game.
It is sad that developers have to lower themselves and the quality of their product to sell games. See "Shadow the Hedgehog" for more info on game developers flushing their integrity down the toilet to move software.

Heh, they keep lowering the age demographic for this series. Are the 12 and 13-year olds of the world that lacking in testosterone that they need to channel it through totally generic and forced "bad-ass" (term used loosely) video game characters? Wait, don't answer that, looking at the current top-selling video games and movies can more than enough answer that for me.
