Do my interview part 2. Prince of Persia 2

[Reclaimer]

Well since you guys rocked with my Forza Motorsports interview, I decided to let my next interview get done by the members again.
Today, and for the next several days you'll be submitting questions for Prince of Persia 2 from Ubi Soft, like before this isn't an exclusive deal as other publications will have an interview as well. But, this is your opportunity to ask questions and help write an interview.

Like last time, I am looking for good grammar, complete sentences and questions that are relevant to Prince of Persia 2. The goal is to aquire 25 questions and submit them by at least next week.

The same format as before, I will include your name, age and location and it must be in this format:
Reclaimer-XBA, age 28 from Houston TX asks:
Write your information exactly like that to help speed up my editing job.

Like last time, I reserve the right to make edits, change questions, make omissions, clarify to make the interview work, change the rules as we go, use all-none-or any number of submissions as a whole or by individual.

So get to it.

-What makes Prince of Persia 2 different from the other platform games?
-How will this utilize xbox live? Will there be Downloadable Content, Live Aware, or nothing?
-I don't buy platformers very often. What is different about it that will make me want to buy this game?

Oops, guess 1 and 3 are one in the same.

[Cryogenic Pyro]

Cryogenic Pyro, age 15 from Saskatoon, SK asks:

Will the sands of time be included in the sequel to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time? If so, will there be any new additions to how they are used?

How many hours do you predict the gameplay to be, start to finish?

Does the sequel include any new genre defining features?

How does the gameplay differ from the previous game?

[SoundX]

SoundX, age 13 from UK asks:

Will Prince be joined by a fellow character to help him solve his puzzles this time round?

What new enemies will the Prince encounter in Prince of Persia 2?

Will you be taking advantage of the Xbox's advantages, say its hardrive?

[Sheeyt]

TRIR from Middletown, DE

Will the fighting system be deeper this time around allowing the Prince to execute more moves?

Will the "Sands Of Time" still be involved with this game? Will the Prince have the power again to control time?

[Viper87227]

Viper87228, age 16 from Chicago, IL asks:

1.) Why did you guys decide to go with a darker, more mature story?

2.) Is the game more violent in terms of blood and gore?

3.) If yes, is the game going to carry an M rating or are you shooting for T?

4.) I loved some of the combo moves from the 1st game, will there be any new ones this time around?

5.) Will the game support Live Aware, or any other Xbox Live feautes?

[AloneInTheDark]

Alone-XBA, Age 16, From North Kingstown, Rhode Island

1) Is this going to be a direct sequel to the sands of times, or is it just going to be a new entry into the series? Will it continue the story from the first?

2) How have you changed the graphics engine? Will we be expecting a face lift, or some minor touchups?

3) Do you plan to incorporate any multiplayer or Xbox Live support, aside from Live Aware.

4) Will there be any Xbox exclusives to this title?

5) This title seems much darker than before, what can we expect in terms of violence in this game?

6) How do you plan on facing up against similar games, like Ninja Gaiden? Has the team played the competing games to know what you are up against?

[rpgreligion]

rpgreligion, age 15, from Brevard, North Carolina asks:

1. I found Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time to be painfully linear at times. Will we find Prince of Persia 2 to be more open-ended, with several ways to achieve a goal?

2. How does enemy AI in Prince of Persia 2 compare to the first title in the PoP series?

3. What can you tell us about the puzzles in Prince of Persia 2? Will they be more difficult than in the first installment?

4. Will newcomers to the Prince of Persia series easily adapt to the control scheme of Prince of Persia 2?

[blonks]

Blinx from Boise Age 15 asks:

- Will there be any multiplayer in the sequal to the sands of time?

- When is the planned realease date/season

- What sets the game apart from others?

[Reclaimer]

Man, you guys are good... Keep it up!
Ubi-Soft has done so many of my interviews for XBA, but they've never seen a member submitted one from us. This will be great.

[Viper87227]

just curious, wahts the status on the last set of questions? Were they picked, and whens the interview?

[Variation-XBA]

Variation, Age 23 from Victoria, BC Canada asks:

How will you market it this time so people know about it when it comes out and not months after from word of mouth like the origional?

[LTM360]

LTM360, Age 16 from Dayton, Ohio asks:

-I found The Sands of Time to be too easy, especially the final boss. Will the second be a more difficult adventure?

-The way the story unfolded in Sands of Time was probably the best I've seen in a video game, even better than most movies. Will the story unfold in PoP 2 the same, or similar to Sands of Time?

-Why did you decide to go with a mature look to Prince 2; Blood, violence, etc.?

-How will the graphics and animations improve on the already fantastic original?

-In compairson to most games, Prince of Persia was quite short. Will the second be a lengthier game?

-Will The Sands of Time be included in Prince 2, or will Prince 2 be an entire new entry in the series?

-Where/When will Prince of Persia 2 take place?

[Peepers]

Time manipulation was the most conceptually daring feature in the original. What will be the stand-out feature of the sequel?

[thrAsher]

My question:

"You guys put together a fantastic next-gen platformer. Exemplary of the technology in evey way. How do you plan to draw in your base consumer w/ a title that emphasizes a dark underworld, a painful trial of retribution, and a much more sinister mood. Do you guys have 'Lucas' fever, saving the vicious for the sequel?"

Long winded, but that's me.

[mercenary_wolf]

mercenary_wolf, Age 14 From England Manchester Ask's:
1) After the last adventure what improvements have you made on the game apart from the battle system and the AI, up till this moment only the battle engine has been heard off and the visuals, can you give us some more information on the story-line and how the Prince has found his inner devil?

2) Everything in the last game you could interact with does this follow with this game and will there be a stealth element this time? , Stealth seems to be getting more popular since Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and where more perfect than with are Prince.

[BlindSniper]

BlindSniper, Age 15 from Calgary, AB asks:
This game seems to have a lot more gore. From recent events involving mature games, what age group does this game seem aimed at?
