    I have played lots of videogames and by far warrior within is one of my favourite games. Some people will say(about this game) : Where is the altruistic prince who wants to save the girl from the evil monsters the way he did in the other two games ?

    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.

    This game is excellent. It captures the Prince's fall from grace and loss of innocence perfectly. The story is very good, and even though I haven't finished the game yet, I am constantly amazed by what I see. The freeform combat system is nothing short of revolutionary.

PoP SoT was explore, slash, explore, slash etc etc. Comabt and exploration were almost completey separate. In Warrior Within the two are seamlessly put together to give you a more realistic and combined experience. I can't find anything majorly wrong with this game. I ran into a bug early on, but a load of a previous save fixed it. I love this game, and will be playing it again in a month or so.… Expand

    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 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.

    Перепрошел в 2021, отличное приключение в крутом сетинге, за вычетом боев, которые что-то совсем не понравились. 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.

    Para ser de una generacion donde los graficos no eran lo mas importante, la jugabilidad y banda sonora son impresionantes, para mi e mejor de la trilogia, en la pc funciona de maravilña, solo.que la version de steam tiene un error en una cinematica y pues se soluciona parchando el juego. Sin duda un juego recomendadisimo.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing atmosphere, a sense of mysticism and bone chilling environment.
    One of the best combat systems ever made and a story full of thrilling twists.

    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.

    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.
