YMMV / Prince of Persia 2

• Anticlimax Boss: Jaffar in the SNES version. Unlike the PC versions (DOS & Macintosh), there is no chase or Mind Screw level; you just walk up to him and flame him.
• Demonic Spiders: The disembodied goblin heads in the ruins levels. They're extremely common, require extremely precise timing to damage, and is the only regular enemy in the entire game that deals more than 1 hit point of damage every time they attack you.
• Funny Moments: Admit it: it's sometimes worth a smile when you die and get to watch something horrible happen to the Prince.
  • In the first level, if you go right and away from the docks, the Prince runs offscreen and straight into what is presumably a massive crowd of guards. Cue a lot of yelling and stabbing sounds.
  • Should the Prince fall in lava, he immediately disappears beneath it with a comical yelp that sounds like something from the mouth of Homer Simpson.
  • Trying to use the Magic Carpet to escape the caves without opening the grate first will have the Prince sit down on it as it takes off... only to hit the grate with a cartoony splat, staining the carpet red.
  • One area will get the Prince trapped as a wall slowly closes in and crushes him. It'd be horrifying if not for the Prince disappearing behind the wall and screaming, followed by a cartoony-sounding SQUELCH.
• Good Bad Bugs:
  • In some version of the game, the entrance door on the first level of the ruins remained open, allowing the player to exit through it and skip the entire level.
  • If you manually turn into the Shadow in the same screen as The Flame, and then fall into the bottom of the screen, a second Shadow will rise up from the Prince, and grab the Flame. When he returns to the Prince's body and rises up, a copy of the Prince's body will remain on the ground... which you can attack and kill, as with any other enemy. A Mind Screw, to say the least.
• It's Hard, So It Sucks!: A common complain about this game is that the controls and many of the levels are noticeably less forgiving than in the prequel.
• Porting Disaster: The SNES version has missing story cutscenes, glitchy controls and gameplay mechanics, and the final level is axed in favor of just shooting a fireball at Jaffar. Compared to the well-regarded SNES port of the first game, this one is horribly underwhelming. As one comment on YouTube put it:
  This isn't a game with bugs, this is a giant bug with bits of game.
  • Fun fact: The game was made by Titus Software, who would later go on to make classics like Superman 64 and Carmageddon 64.
