    The gameplay is a little tricky to get used to on the PSP, but once you get adjusted, you'll find yourself getting into the game's beautiful combat quite easily.

    A missed opportunity, but fun for anyone not familiar with "Warrior Within."
  3. As standalone PSP games go, Revelations is still among the most enjoyable you can buy, but those technical issues don’t do any favours for a game that may already be too confusing and challenging for total newcomers.
  4. The same incredible acrobatic moves and puzzles are included with this little bundle of joy, as is the story line that continues from the "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time."

    While the scope and impressive design of the game remains intact, there's a myriad of technical issues that rob much of the enjoyment. Everything from the visual presentation down to the core gameplay has been adversely affected in the transition from consoles to a portable system.

    Abundant faults make it impossible to recommend this over the original. Save your money and get "Warrior Within" second-hand on PS2 instead. [Feb 2006, p.98]

    People wanting a game to get their teeth into will certainly find it a challenge although many will also be tearing their hair out by the handful. The one question on many people’s lips is why port Warrior Within, of all the games in the Prince of Persia trilogy? Why not simply begin with Sands of Time and start at the beginning.

You have a complex combat system where you can make many different combos, use objects like walls and pillars for different attacks, fight with a single weapon or double weapons and much more. The graphics are really impressive for a PSP game, although the characters look a bit blurry at close range. There are a few minor technical issues like long loading times, the music occasionally cuts out during gameplay and there's sound delay during dialog, but if you're a true PoP fan this shouldn't be a big deal for you. The best thing about this game are the new environments. They're visually memorable and nicely designed with challenging platforming and complex puzzles, something the original Warrior Within is lacking. Expand

I haven't played it since Coded Arms came out (which I didn't play for very long because it pretty much sucked). I have not beat this game yet but it plays well and looks pretty good. They did the best job with the camera they possibly could. If you mute the voice overs in your option screen you will enjoy this game about 100% better (the Prince constantly whines "I don't have time for this" during battles which is painfully annoying). Also the soundtrack is buggy (sometimes it doesn't play at all), which isn't a bad thing because it is a little too Neu-metal. Under all the over-marketed "Poochie" attitude of the prince there is a cool POP game in there. Also, why has this game been out a week and no one has reviewed it yet? Expand

However, there were way too many glitches. The sound cuts off every minute or two, which is the worst glitch, but not the most frustrating. My problem was that in the middle of a fight, the prince would float or the game would load. You can;t deny how fun the game is though. It's so visually impressive and is really hard to put down. IF you can ignore the glitches, you will have a great time playing this game. It is one of the most enjoyable games I have played on PSP, even with the glitches. Expand

    God of War would have been a better port (hopefully). Sound is busted, and there isnt a good storyline. This was my first PoP game played, God of War would have been a better port (hopefully). Sound is busted, and there isnt a good storyline. This was my first PoP game played, odd story at the begining had me wondering around with no clue why I could turn back time. Some of the environments are too tricky for the little psp controls, spent more time trying to make difficult run-on-walls to jumps, than fighting enemies. There is some satisfaction in the fighting combos. I really wanted this game to be great, but after 6 hours, I was glad I rented it. Expand

    The only positive moment about this game, is that they were able to do an actual port from bigger consoles. This is the same game as thereThe only positive moment about this game, is that they were able to do an actual port from bigger consoles. This is the same game as there with the addition of some new levels. The only problem is that PSP obviously can't handle Warrior Within without issues, which are a lot of glitches, crashes, extra loading screens and poor graphics. Also there is a problem with desynchronization of sound in cutscenes and the music can stop at any moment, even if the fight is still going. And most of all those new levels that I mentioned, they suck so much, I can't even describe it. This levels have one of the worst level design that I've ever seen. All in all, this game is much better on bigger consoles with better performance, without this awful new levels. Don't waste your time on this terrible port of a great game. Expand
