I found the series far from frustrating, except in the second two games, with some of the tougher boss battles and difficult traps in the life upgrade passages.

I liked the first game's story the best, and even with the basic combat system it had, I still preferred the fairy tale style of it to the darker sections of WW, and some of the predictability of the third game.

So the first is my favourite, even though the next two were great as well.

Oh so much yummy acrobatic platforming, it's connected very well to the combat, and i love the stealth element the stealth kills (aptly named) bring.

While the second game is the weakest in the trilogy, it really does make a lot of connections in the plot between the first and last games, and personally I found that it had the best combat system of all of them. It's quite similar to the third's battle system, but I found that the battles were set up in a way that made combos easier and much much funner. Though there aren't any of the awesome stealth kills, the free form fighting system's triumph in this game more than makes up for it.

The only major problem with the game if that the Prince is a much more callous and even evil character, but this can be interpreted as a precursor to the Dark Prince, even though the Dark Prince was likely conceived of later, in the development of the Two Thrones, to improve due to the criticisms over WW's new, darker character . There's a different voice actor, which ticked me off, but the story itself, though darker and more violent, is still quite good.

I think if you liked the other two WW is definetly worth buying.
