Guess they meant to say "Difficulty".
And the translator nixed incorrectly.

Yet still great news.
Just a lil while till we all get a chance to play the game itself. And very soon!

Maybe they played a demo or something

[ericthestampede]

most magazines and websites get the game before its released in public

Ill try to translate most of the important stuff
"The Two Thrones has great minigames, which help to break the tedious (sp?) fighting of monsters and challenging platforming. example: you get to be in a chariot (sp?) race which is short but fun, and control a giant plant monster.
theres also some secret levels hidden in the big city and give you more bloody death traps.
succsses in those levels gain you diffrent bonuses (sp?) like expanding your health meter.
as an added bonus, the dev's gave us many sketch arts from the diffrent design levels of all of the last 3 games. the game has 3 levels of difficulty, but overall you can finish it in 17 hours on the first time through.

Not only the storyline became more light, to bring the ESRB rating down, the dev's let down the all-so-very violent violence of Warrior Within, for a better, more solid action system.
if your'e looking for guts being spilled, the maximum he will get is the signature bloodspray.
Not that that says alot, mostly because the combat system is the best so far in the series.

Most of the time the prince fights with two weapons - his sword, and another extra weapon he can "borrow" from corpses, or find laying around the city, you can keep the weapon or throw it, but not that that changes much since it breaks fast and easly.

The prince in his reguler mode is fairly weak in battles, and just because of that, the game allows us to dodge most of those visual battles by using the stealth abillity.
if you sneak of behind, above, or in the side of the enemy without being noticed, the game will open some kind of a mini-game similar to the one that was used in God Of War. in this minigame, you must time your button presses to when the prince's sword begins to glow.

same mini-game is not only used for stealth, but also being used in the various boss-battles, where is you have to time your pushes right to win this long and hard fights. the boss battles are intresting, too bad there are so little of them.

As said before, the prince has a darker, monster-like version of himself where he turns to in many key points during the game. the gameplay of these battle sequnces, and the platforming ones, is very diffrent when we turn into this alter-ego.
the dark version holds a flaming chain in his hand,and uses the prince in massive melee battles.

since the price is very strong in his dark mode, and because every kill fills up his health meter, using stealth in those parts is fairly useless, but the prince loses health fast in his dark mode, so be careful, you have a time limit.

<span class="ev_code_RED">*stuff about the sands of time you already know*</span>

Most problems with The Two Thrones are small and not very meaningful, wheter its about the weird A.I, the graphical glitches and the lack of variety in the enemys, none of them bother the great flow the game has.

the new features: the stealth mode and the dark prince add alot to the already-great gameplay.
the solid graphics and the dramatic soundtrack adds alot. the fact that the blood and gore were tuned down a bit make me happy <span class="ev_code_RED">*what a load of BS*</span> just because it could be recommended easily to children in lower ages, without fear of expensive psychological therapys. <span class="ev_code_RED">*Sarcasam is your worst enemy*</span>

its being showen that the people of Ubisoft got over the rough edges of older games, and made better gameplay and melee system. the game is great.

Fun Factor : 9
Sound : 9
Graphics : 9
Interface : 10
Difficulty : 8

Enjoy. side notes added by me in red.

nah....
i belive that offical shipment to the middle east will be made during the 9th+\- for the PS2 and later on for the other consoles [including the PC]
if you`re from israel,there are few and a few stores that get a private shipment of the game and will sell it on the US release date.
