Sand and Dragons

Misha has been playing Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, and it looks pretty cool (and I lot better than Warrior Within, which was a surprisingly HUGE LET DOWN). Of course, originally this was on the list for me to play, but somehow I ended up watching him. (He felt really bad, so I reconciled that he's just doing all the hard work, and in Warrior Within, that was DEFINITELY the case.)

We're loving the whole Prince/Dark Prince scenario. It matches a lot with his inner hatred for Farah in Sands of Time. (Again, something missed in Warrior Within. He had absolutely NO personality. Now he has two!) (Misha is also enjoying the first chariot race.)

Misha, while he was out at the mall (buying more PSP games, his new toy), he brought back Spyro: Dawn of Dragons. We had, for some odd reason, heard it was quite bad (he bought it because it had two-player co-op that was tempting us for quite some time), and now we have no IDEA why anyone hated it. While there's still that damned little dragonfly, the rest of the characters aren't THAT bad. (Just look to the originals, I suppose, lol. And to those wondering, I played the 2nd one a lot. Still... Am, technically. Trying for the whole 100%.)

I thought as a co-op, it'd be pretty strange. And it sort of is. We, from time to time, can't get up a cliff wall every so often, but it's not too bad. I think you have to talk a little more than normal. The two dragons are chained together (by magic, of course).

What made me quite amused was the God of War controls! This game has so many God of War similarities. I'm not even sure if I can describe it. I think the main feature that's pretty obvious is that there are those finishing-move buttons for bosses (not entirely the same, but they're there) and the button-mashing to open a chest. My favorite move, so far, being the throwing around of the gublins. The flying is pretty fun. (Misha likes that a lot.) And I like the little collectables, although I'm not sure if I'll EVER finish it 100%. The Elite Warriors are MURDER. (I managed to kill one, to find that Cynder, the female dragon, died, and therefore I didn't actually accomplish anything.)
