With TTT coming out, I too just recently returned to WW. I've had it for almost a year now, I think, but I only played through about half of it. I'm really getting back into it, though, and the story line, while somewhat shallow and straightforward in the beginning, grows much better once you get a ways into the game.
WW is probably a more solid game than SoT, but WW isn't quite as fun to me. First and foremost, the music is absolutely dreadful. I know they were trying to harden the Prince up a bit, but the bad metal was both unnecessary and sophomoric. Moreover, while I understand that this game is supposed to be darker and that the Prince has become jaded and cynical over the years, sometimes it does seem a bit much. Also, I don't care too much for the fighting system. I appreciate that they were trying to add more variety and depth to it, but now it seems more like I'm trying to unleash Guile's sonic boom than fight with a sword, and I end up just mashing the two attack buttons in varying combinations as much as I'm jumping around, etc.
I don't know... honestly, as silly as it sounds, I think I miss Farrah. Having to two together for most of the game allowed for more conversation, obviously, and it really helped to develop the characters more and bring the audience into the story. Throughout WW you just feel so terribly alone. Perhaps, though, that is precisely what you're supposed to feel.
Anyway, Froggy, you should be told up front that WW is considerably longer and harder (at least I think so) than SoT, but SoT was pretty short so I guess that's not a bad thing.
