The site gamasutra mentions POP TTT as as example of what not to do in camera views. hmmmm well yeah sometimes it was annoying but not mostly.

"This is even worse when combined with a transition from controllable to fixed camera modes, as seen in the last two Prince of Persia games. Most of the game is played with a player-controlled camera, but occasionally your point of view suddenly leaps to a (sometimes poorly placed) stationary camera. This can be particularly lethal during combat sequences and potentially deadly jumps."

I thought the camera in T2T the perfect camera. And definitely miles above the horrendous PHYSICAL object in Warrior Within, which got stuck on pillars, etc.

I too had some severe issues with camera angles. See my post in my topic "Twin Warriors - combat difficulties". Thats one of the reasons I am still stuck with the twins. Mad

T2T camera isn't so bad . Perhaps they mentioned it because of some levers or pillars because they look like they are very far or in other part of the room , where you can't get .
But so far the worst camera for me was in Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire .

They are whiners in that site, they don't know what a bad camera is. WW's camera was a little worse but not bad.

Who am I to agree or disagree, when I haven't played many games. But I can give you screenshots of atleast half a dozen cases where the camera angles are highly misleading. Two of them from the Arena!

But I must admit, having played T2T, I did try my hand at SOT recently. I simply couldn't play. The graphics, controls etc were way too better than SOT, understandbly.

SoT is real hard to take when you've played WW and T2T for a long time...

As for cameras... I thought the angles in WW were really cool, and yeah sometimes it got stuck on a pillar, but not half as much as in T2T. I've died so many times in fights cause the camera won't follow me behind a pillar or into a tight corner.
