Has anyone bought POP WW yet and how is yet. I thought I would have at least have seen a thread about this already.

I had it preordered but didn't even go to pick it up and just cancelled the preorder. I hate the new direction they took the game w/ the darker tone. BTW POP: SOT was my favorite game of all time before GTA:SA came out.

Plays alot like Ninja Gaiden now, the entire game feels alot closer to NG. Tons of new single and double handed weapon combos and techniques. The in-game movelist is 6 pages.

Still has great puzzles, so don't read into all the negative press about the new focus on fighting. After the first few scenes which act as a tutorial level, its back to lots of environment puzzles and booby-trap navigation.

Once you get used to the heavy-metal BG, the new tone isn't bad. I guess the figured that Ninja Gaiden sold a ton of copies with their japanese rock-inpired soundtrack so they copied the recipe. The visuals are fantastic, and the Prince himself is animated better than ever...CG cutscenes look really nice.

Still a phenomenal game.

I'd have to agree. So far, after getting used to the change in tone, I'm enjoying this game as much and probably even a bit more than the first one. I don't agree very much with the IGN review - POP 2 does everything POP did and more.
