Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Review

Fun game until the end...
... After investing 20+ hours into this game, I ran into a glich where the game would not progress to the last level. It occurs after you push the sand queen into the portal. After checking the web for tips I learned that the only way to correct glich was to start all over! What a piece of crap programming!

Fast Paced, and Pleasantly Fun
The Second installment of the Prince of Persia Series, Warrior Within's combat and satisfyingly long campaign have improved on the Sands of time, but the nice prince we see from the previous game drastically turned into a darker and more arrogant prince.
Warrior Within continues the prince's story from last year's game, so, because the prince has unleashed the mystical Sands of Time, he finds himself pursued relentlessly by a menacing time monster called the Dahaka.
The biggest new addition to the game is a deeper combat mechanic. The prince is now capable of dozens of different weapon combos, and these are context sensitive depending on whether you are holding a single weapon or dual-wielding two weapons. With a single weapon in hand, you can grab enemies and throw them. You can even strangle them. Dual-wielding takes away your throw options, but it lets you perform much more powerful weapon combos. What's interesting is that the effect of your moves changes depending on what type of weapon you have in your left hand, which is the prince's less-dominant hand.
+ Fast paced combat, more fighting moves and combos
+ Longer Campaign
+ Beautifully crafted levels
+ Same intense puzzle solving, and acrobatics
- Boss fights a repeititive
- Lost sense of the prince's dignified character
- xbox version - audio glitches
Overall Prince of Persia is an excellent sequel, and is a must by for people who love action/adventure games.

It was just "OK"
Is pretty obvious to anyone who has played Sands of Time and this game to know that it lacks in quite a few areas. One thing I did find more in depth, however, was the story. This again, seemed to make the game worse. It made the prince, the story...everything seem dark. The game wasn't suttle about this either. It was like a totally new experience. One thing that seemed like a huge change from Sands of Time, in my opinion, was the very open feel of this game. In Sands of Time, you seemed to go from point A to point B with a clear path in between. This game, however, was very open-ended and I seemed to have to back track quite a bit. One good thing that comes from the open-ended approach was the length of the game; it was fairly long for an adventure game and seemed to start and end at exactly the right time. The thing I find most appealing about Warrior Within is the combat system. Although it is much the same as before, it is at the same time somewhat different. In this game, you can dual wield two weapons which is very fun. The combat system is much more free than before too which allows you to create your own combos and fighting techniques. Although the story and main character are much darker than before, the gameplay was still Prince of Persia in style. So, overall, the game was still much enjoyable.
Presentation
Like I said before, the story is much darker than Sands of Time and while this isn't entirely bad, it seems like a bit much.
Graphics
The graphics are very nice in this game. The environments are very open ended and look pretty realistic.
Sound
The voice acting in the game is on spot. Well done. The music, however, was really loud and kind of obnoxious.
Gameplay
Again, the gameplay didn't change too much, so it is very much still typical Prince of Persia platform/combat style.
Lasting Appeal
Much longer than the first and there are unlockables and 2 bonus modes to play.

A Twist of Fate
Warrior Within is the second game in the current generation series of three Prince of Persia games (to date) released by Ubi.
The story resumes a few years after the conclusion of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The Prince is now war hardened from the past years in battle. He now has a menacing style and persona when compared to his previously unthreatening appearance and innocent soul. Returning to his home of Babylon, the prince finds that he is being hunted down by a supernatural beast that is intent on destroying him at all costs. What it all really boils down to is that the prince created a rift in the space-time continuum as a result of his foolish actions in the previous game. Now Death is intent on hunting down the Prince. He must find a way to alter his fate before impending doom catches up to him.
To get right to the point - the game is another stunner! Every aspect of the game has been redesigned and tweaked to create an experience that rivals the previous title. The game play mechanics are extremely fluid and intuitive and the fighting system is much more complex than that found in Sands of Time but just as easy to use. The game is graphically gorgeous once again as it seems Ubi always pushes the visual envelope to the very edge. Everything about the game is fantastic with the exception of one thing, the music. In their efforts to make the Prince of Persia series more dark and burly, Ubi errantly opted to implement some not so fantastic heavy rock music into the game. That is quite likely just my opinion and is really not a major issue, but one to be aware of if you are expecting more of the same from the last game. All things considered, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is another superb title that every action fan should own.
