I am playing it now on my Pioneer 43 inch plasma in prog scan. It does support widescreen. It's not bad but having played the pc demo as well I am just going to say that the pc version is far superior to the xbox or any other version. Just think of AA and AF enabled + higher res. Iam getting my self an adaptor so i can use the xbox pad with the pc.

Well..after playing this game for a few hours i have come to the conclusion that it's not anywhere near as good as POP 1. IMO the original POP looked miles better. Granted that some of the environments in the new one look a little bit more textured but the character models have suffered a lot in the process and the prince is now made up of far less polygons than before and the same goes for all of the enemies.
I actually really like the fighting in the last game aswell, but in the new version it's boring and basically it's just no fun at all. It just doesn't feel the same as it did before, and all of the stupid 3 button combo's do not do anything to help it either.
Another problem i have with the game is the camera. You have a lot less control over it than you did in the first game, and also it seems to me like the camera is always to far away from the prince..most probably to hide his sloppy detail, but atleast in the last game you could move the camera closer or further away from him if you wanted to, but in this version it just springs back out to being miles away again.
I give this game a dissapointing 7/10 (which is still not a bad score) and just wish that they hadn't altered the game so much. Oh well...

Sadly thats the impression I got from the demo.

i have the opposite opinion of PoP2. the fighting is much improved from the first PoP. the amount of combos and moves is staggering.
i love the darker feel to the game too. more blood and gore when u kill the enemies not just falling sand like in the first game.
im having a great time with PoP2. its the only game im playing on xbox atm.
the gfx look darker so u wont be able to see all the details but i think they look just as good as the first game. in PoP1 the gfx were bright and fairy-like thats why u could see alot of detail.
the camera will always be a problem in 3d 3rd person games. i think u have just enough control and views to see where u have to go.
i prefer PoP2 to PoP1 and give it a definite 9/10.

I had a good look all over the net but the game is a bit too new for walkthroughs and what not. I have hardly played it so I can't offer any personal help. I take it that when he goes up to the other platform, he doesnt come back down again?
May the NFOrce be with you always.

He's not a Boss. You fight loads of them throughout the game. Anyway back to the original topic, i can't remember exactly how you get up to him, probably because i didnt have any problems with it and it was so easy so all you need to do is look around properly and you'll see the way. If you can't work it out then i'd give up completely because you won't have much of a chance with the rest of the game either when it actually gets harder.
Good luck.

Sweet! Also someone mentioned the PS2 release is a beta with missing sound? Does this apply to this Xbox version also?

i'm stuck
brief discription -
large room and your highup,cutscene starts,POP hides behind a rock and you see birdman (i think) looking for you and knocks hole through wall.
Then u gotta make your way around outside of room as your highup and make your way to bottom,beat up 2 enemy and 2 bitchs,then another two drop down,then after that shows you where to go higher up which is a large pillar next to wall that you gotta getup, you have to wall run then jump to pillar hang on,jump back to wall,jump back to pillar working your way to top, thats the thing gets to top then drops back down as he cannot (or i cannot stand ontop?) and if you jump back to wall you got nowhere to go.
probably easy just missing not seeing something, lol
damm this game is so good!

Anyway for those still stuck after he moves wall run across to the platform then look back and you will see a square slab on the wall then all you do is wallrun back across and he will automatically grab a ledge climb up it and the one above then jump onto a part of a pillar and then just jump onto the ledge and kick his crow ass. See how hard was that somebody else with a shred of decency could have wrote this
