Best game i hav ever played.... it is even better than "Sands of Time"....

User Rating: 9.5 | Prince of Persia: Warrior Within PC
Sands of Time seemed an impossible product to best, but Warrior Within does so handily. All of the platforming elements are still present, such as wall-running and avoiding spikes, but the new combat features really push this game over the top. Finishing off enemies with that wicked Heart Render move is cooler than cool.

Warrior Within takes place several years after the events of The Sands of Time. The Prince, having originally released the Sands, is being hunted by the Dahaka, a guardian of the timeline. The Dahaka is a foul, unstoppable beast that will pursue the Prince until he is dead. Desperate and weary from the years of running, the Prince makes a final play, heading to the Island of Time. The hope is that if the Prince can somehow go into the past, he can stop the Empress before she ever creates the Sands of Time, meaning he would never have opened them and the Dahaka would have no cause for its hunt.

The premise certainly sounds good and the story of Warrior Within has more complexity than the simpler fable of The Sands of Time. Ubisoft chose to use this story to darken the Prince, draping him in a morose take-crap-from-no-one attitude, changing voice actors to provide the Prince with an edgy Clint Eastwood snarl, and giving him such novel lines as, "You ****!" No, this is not Sands of Time, this is the new Prince of Persia and the idea of a dark character, dark atmosphere, and dark story are forced down your throat from start to finish. It's too much, too forced, and frankly, not as appealing as the Prince of old. From a thematic perspective, it's a step backwards, even though the gameplay remains excellent.

Warrior Within is more about slashing up your foes than out-thinking atforming puzzles. There is still plenty of jumping, climbing, and running to do, but thanks to a brand-new combo system, this Prince is better suited for splashing the walls with crimson than ever before.

Warrior Within is a pretty lengthy little adventure. The ten levels span pirate ships and cursed palaces, each brimming with unspeakable evil sent
forth by the Empress of Time. The Prince must use all of his normal moves, such as leaping across gaps or jumping up to ledges, to complete each level. For example, right away on the pirate ship, you must hurl yourself across burning chasms, duck beneath fiery planks, and swing from chain to chain in order to slip off the ship unscathed. In later palaces,
you must duck beneath blades that erupt from walls, roll beneath spiked columns, and wall-run across wide crevices.
