    Di gran lunga il migliore della trilogia uscita sulla prima Xbox, nonché miglior action/platform di sempre, altro che quella schifezza di troia raider gioco per bambini deficienti

    Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is a game I absolutely adore. It has it all – an engaging story, captivating music, memorable characters, thrilling boss fights, challenging platforming puzzles, and impressive graphics. I've replayed this game over five times, and its charm never fades.

    PoP 2's intricate level design, intense boss battles, and immersive story make it a standout title in the action-adventure genre. The best game in the series.

    If I want to talk a little about memories, I was a gamer from the age of 14 to 15 and 16 to 17. I was never there after that. I even went to the games that I didn't have and played in our local club. And even when the subject I was studying in the 11th year was not organized and I had to go to day and night school, I was on Gamenet about ninety percent of the time I was absent.

Of course, I had this game on PC. I used to play on PC most of the time. I remember the device I had was relatively strong. For example, it played Assassin's Creed Black Flag very smoothly, or PS 2012 or Splinter Cell 5 and....”
    You can rarely come across a cinematic work in video games. For example, all exclusive games (either Playstation, Xbox, etc.) none of them have this feature significantly. !! Or, for example, the Assassin's Creed series could never offer anything after Black Flag. and suffered a real and definite fall. Because it didn't offer good gameplay or good visual work. Just as the Assassins series suffered a certain downfall after Black Flag. And the glimmers of its failure could be seen from the very beginning, the Prince of Persia collection suffered a serious weakness after the second issue, but not to that extent. You may be able to attract brilliant talents with capital, but if we do not consider this case, sometimes effort can do this work to some extent.
    You might say why the gameplay has to be so long and so slow.
    I am never against being long and slow how much it want to be. as long as the rhythm and situation and the dramatic capacities and coordination of the constituent parts of an image and artistic structure make such a thing possible. This happens in this game, but again, due to the simplicity and weakness of some characters, such as the negative role of a woman, and the lack of plot twists on a more general level, it suffers from bugs. In 2010, a movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal was made from the first part of the series, which not only did not help the series of games, but also hurt them. And if you are a fan of games, definitely avoid watching it because you will damage the capacities of the story and the games. Part number one of the games had a visual and graphic weakness, part number three lacked enough focus on everything, part number four despite paying attention to the beauty of coloring (especially darker colors) of the images, no effort was made on the rest. Was. And episode number five, despite the flashy and expensive effects of the visuals and the small amount of story, there was no soul or focus in it. And no effort was made on it. You see, sometimes you can get the amount of effort even from a distance. Even if the amount of talent is not enough. When Kaileena says a sentence to Prince at the end of the game, which has something like this: "I can't accept your offer", with this one sentence we can understand what a brilliant voice acting talent the voice teller has. which can turn an almost Spatial and inaccessible story into something sensual and almost earthly. Yes, with just one sentence."4/755
    Art is always defined by those who hold the key of reality. The rest are nothing more than waggery in the serious discussion, That is, they are not even nuts. Even if they are, their key is in the hands of the key holders of reality.
    Almost all of my friends with different Jobs have played this game. Have memories with it.    … Expand

    Compared to that incredibly beautiful game as the first part, it's just a piece of **** No style, combat is ruined, it's no longer an adventure, but a slasher.

    this one I think is the best in the series because it's obscure, it reminds a lot of GOW and it's very violent

    Ottimo seguito di Sands of Time, continua in maniera degnissima la saga di Price of Persia.
    Assolutamente meritevole.

I think when they wanted to do everything right, they did it worse.

    Bad sides;

    1_) Level Desing: It is very repetitive, the levels are similar to each other and the biggest problem is "backtracking" makes the game very boring. Passing through the same places all the time, always the same atmosphere, always the same traps and enemies.
    2_) Combat Difficulty: The game is unnecessarily difficult even though I play it on normal settings. Especially during combat, it is difficult to control and enemies can kill you very quickly. I've rarely seen worse than the Keileena boss fight at the end. Why does it have to be so hard? Time slows down and I can't escape.
    3_) Camera Angle: Sometimes I have trouble seeing in front of me. Sometimes I can't understand where to jump while platforming.
    4_) Bugs: Sound is gone in cutscenes. Sometimes in-game music does not play.

    Good sides;

    1_) The combos are varied. There is more action than the first game.
    2_) Unlike most people, I liked the dark atmosphere of the game, I liked that it was more bloody.
    3_) The story and characters are better than the first game.
    4_) Music is my style. Very good. (An Unsafe Sanctuary, Clash in the Catacombs, Conflict at the Entrance.) I like these.
    5_) Walljumping is much better and more comfortable than the first game.
    6_) I really liked the Griffon boss fight, it was the only boss I liked.    … Expand

    A cooler and more brutal version of Prince of Persia with interesting innovations, dynamic gameplay, dark style and atmosphere, interesting plot, parkour, fights, and cool musical accompaniment.

    This game shows how competent ubisoft were back in the day. The combat system in this game is deep enough and would pommel many modern games. The story and metroid Vania exploration is great as well. I'll never stop loving this gem.

Еще тут не всегда адекватная камера с управлением, которое то слушается то нет, но под это хорошо работает основная механика с перемоткой времени, позволяющая исправить любое неверное действие.

    I use very rarely this term but this game is an actual marterpiece,it's not perfect ,the pc edition is a bit buggy and grafic wasn't top notch ever for 2004 standards.

    Same for the plot,i personally prefer it but i can understand why people can prefer the first one.

    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.
