    This game has some bugs with the graphics and camera, but who cares when the History is so perfect. This game show us the hopeless side of the Prince, doing anything because his fear to the death is so big and the bosses are incredible. I like the secondary weapon system and new moves are incorporated and the slow motion kill is spectacular.

    This game is my personal favorite. I have played the trilogy since the time i was a little kid (8 years old) and it was extremly entertaining and very fun to play and learn. This game and its trilogy will always be my all time favorite.. Gj Ubisoft.

    Best PoP game ever. Awesome metal tracks, dark atmosphere, fun and brutal combat system, the best in the series. Hope the next PoP game will be inspired for Warrior Within.

    This game revolutionized the combat system. It still holds up pretty well and the combat is honestly very unique.
    The story telling is awesome as it's shown in parts and only when you time travel and progress, do you get the whole picture.
    Great game, great combat, great story, good music, recommended a thousands times.

    In my opinon the best game Ubisoft has made till date. The game was beautiful for its time and had a very engaging storyline. The best part of the game has to be when the Dahaka comes out of nowhere and you have to make a run for it. Overall a solid game which will keep you entertained from start to finish.

    Продолжение моей любимой игры дества. Сюжет, женские персонажи (умели Ubisoft рисовать дамочек :) ), да почти все было отлично в этой игре (2004 год то). Кроме пожалую багов с управление, и местами криво камеры.

    El segundo de la saga 'Las Arenas del Tiempo'. Para este titulo, el estudio de desarrollo buscaría poner un nuevo énfasis en la historia del príncipe, haciéndolo mas tétrico y oscuro para los que veníamos de jugar el primer juego, era un titulo enfocado mas a los jugadores mayores de la saga.

    I have played lots of videogames and by far warrior within is one of my favourite games.

    Refined combat mechanic, beautiful locations and an enriching storyline make Warrior Within a truly worthy sequel to an already outstanding game, however the darker more goth-oriented tone will make fans of the original slightly in denial and the control scheme on the PC demands a little practice.

    I came very close to uninstalling this one in frustration- what a horrible beginning to what was otherwise an exceptionally good game:

    From the beginning the Prince of Persia franchise has been about the platforming. Warrior within begins with nothing but combat- including a boss fight before you get to the first platforming puzzle.

    The best is always best, when it comes to acrobatic fighting and a deliberated sword that took your enemies body like a minced meat.

    Though it lacks the charm of Sands of Time, Warrior Within sports some great gameplay and absolutely incredible level / game design. Quite a bit more challenging than the first game in the series, but more rewarding for it. The first boss fight is too difficult for what is essentially a game opener, but I wouldn't have too many other criticisms. An epic game and absolutely a five star title.

    This game is simply awesome - I was a major fan of its predecessor and started playing this one expecting more of the same, but its way better! If you're comfortable with the darker theme and music, then this game promises to be the best game of the year. The freeform combat system is awesome and the combos allow you to think and fight rather than randon button-thrashing.

    Ubisoft has taken a flawed game of boundless promise, destroyed some (but not all) of its appeal, fixed some (but not enough) of its problems, and jeopardised the whole endeavour by making the same mistake twice and rushing it to market before it was steady on its feet. Prince of Persia is strong and supple enough to survive this with many of its immense virtues intact. But it deserved so much better. [Christmas 2004, p.80]

    A consequence of this darker approach is that that game loses part of what made The Sands of Time unique. Instead of a charming and almost silly character like we saw previously, the Prince here is more one-dimensional.

    Largely an upgrade on the original, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is still one of the most polished and imaginative escapades we've played. Like a blockbuster movie, the tale delivers on almost every count from dazzling pyrotechnics to deft storytelling.
