Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - gameguru review|
| (hx) 11:39 AM CET - Feb,14 2005 |   
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, the sword-slashing sequel to the groundbreaking Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The story of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within takes place several years after Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. In this new episode, the Prince is hunted by the Dahaka, the Guardian of Time. Indeed by rewinding time in the previous episode, the Prince has disrupted the timeline and the Dahaka is now after him to remove him permanently from the timeline. The Prince will die. It's not a question of "if" only a matter of "when".

(darn selective camera angles)... Without giving anything else away, the end portion of the game is HEAVY with twists and it really does make the series game out to be that much more awesome. Even after playing every square game and watching every dramatic bit of CG... Warrior Within evoked 'hot damn!' from myself and friends more than once.
As a side note... You have to appreciate the globes on the woman in red. Mmm, mmm, mmm. |

all in all, i'd give this game a 70%, at best. I'd give Sands of Time a 95%. |

| Sabot | (06:26 PM CET - Feb,14 2005 ) | The combat in PoP:WW is what realy excels compaired to PoP:SoT. The Combinations of being able to use scenery like pillars and walls as well as the multiple weapon combos,throwing weapons etc are just what the game needed to move forward. The first one (i played on the PS2) was like ICO imo. I gambled on PoP:WW for the PC and it paid off, i'm using my Logitech gamepad and it's not any different from the PS2 to control but where it DOES differ is the AMAZING graphics!!
The Dahaka boss though is a pain in the ass and i find the-thrown-in-at-the-deep-end panic knowing that you have to run and time everything first time -and also correctly chose the right path- to escape him my only frustrating gripe.
Very good review. |

| Sly | (06:19 PM CET - Feb,15 2005 ) | A worthy sequel to PoP:SoT. Nothing groundbreaking, just an expansion on the elements that made SoT great, but pushed them to the extreme. Screenshots alone do not do this game justice. Go find someone who knows how to play and watch him ^_^ The combo system was kinda troublesome at first and the enemies aren't as forgiving (They do attack simultaneously now, unlike SoT where they wait their turn) but once you get the hang of it, you'll literally be tearing through their ranks like a lawnmower through grass.
The Dahaka wasn't much of a challenge. He's the easiest boss i encountered in the game. I got him on the first try actually. |

Don't tell me you've never owned a PC gamepad? For eg the 'Logitech dual-action' is a fantastic pad; played on games like FIFA,PES and PoP it's simply no difference from a console pad -and it's cheap! You can buy force feedback,standard,wireless free -the worlds your oyster and no excuse to say that a console is better than a PC because it aint! :lol: |

| Sly | (06:16 PM CET - Feb,16 2005 ) | BTW, the mouse/keyboard combo was still ok with SoT. But i really do recommend that you get a joypad for the sequel (pref. 12 button dual analogs). You don't have as much control over the camera, but atleast the controls are easier, especially now that you have 2-3 attack buttons instead of just going *click* *click* *click*.
A brand new PS dualshock lookalike (Except it's for USB =P ) cost me less than 10 bucks, get one, it's worth it :) |
