I'd recommend playing thru Warrior Within, it sets up Two Thrones nicely. Plus, the darker prince from Warrior Within and his evolution from a warrior to a hero play a big part in the story of The Two Thrones.

Going from Yuri Lowenthal from SOT to Robin Atkin Downes as prince in WW was irritating and not an improvement. Robin is a good voice actor and has plenty of good roles in gaming under his belt but they should of stuck with Yuri, he had it nailed in SOT.
Yea, that is part of what i was referring to with the gang bang theory statement. When an IP shifts from team to team and little/sometimes big changes occur. I thought Robin did well in WW, The Prince was on the run from the Dhaka for seven years, in that time i was able to accept that his voice would change (without taking a stupid pill). I thought Yuri was a great pick in Sands of Time, but what made it worse was how they went back to Yuri for T2T's(i had to take a stupid pill). At least they could've brought Farrah's voice actress back as well, and Monica Belluci again for the Empress. that would've been great, but those are the kinds of details and polish that an originator of an IP pays more attention to..I mean Kojima doesn't change voice actors for Solid Snake every other game.
