a sequel that outdoes its predecessor; Warrior Within's excellent gameplay and extended campaign makes you want more.
Unlike Sands of time (and consequently, Two thrones), Warrior within isn't as straight-forward as the aforementioned. It's not like going from point A to point B, where you know exactly where you are headed. It's like going from point A to point B to point D, into another dimension of poing K and so on so forth. Most of the time it isn't a problem because there is always a cut-scene to re-assure you that you are on the right path but it can get quite frustrating, especially when you're already exhausted.
I think it's a much bigger improvement in many ways just because simply the game is more exciting. I actually look forward to the combat sequences rather than dreading them in the original. The music takes on a different tone but is not all bad.
The atmosphere was too dark and broody for my liking and I just kept wishing for the day-light that never came; however, as the game progressed, the atmosphere grew on me much like that of the new prince with baditude himself.
Overall, the game was a lot more fun to play and it made for an extremely satisfying prelude for two thrones which was equally entertaining.
