          Brawns and brains required .

          Prince of persia : the warrior within is an excellent game that reveals its greatness as you progress. It starts off a bit run of mill with our moody hero slicing up bad guys, but things take a turn for the best when you get to the island . From here on its mind bending challenge after mind bending challenge- each more well thought out and engrossing than the last .

          The graphics are very dark and atmospheric and the gameplay is great too. The character of the prince feels nice to control as he runs across walls , swings on poles and does tons of cool acrobatic tricks.

          Prince of persia : warrior within is a challenging and fun game that requires brawns ,brains and an appreciation of wicked looking back flips and stuff.

          A very good game, but some boring parts.

          Prinse of persia is a great game. But there will probably shall be parts when you just get stuck and can't be bothered with it. There are parts when sometimes you are not sure where to go and you'll spend the next hour or so working it out. Some of the puzzles as well are very long and boring. But. Great gameplay, great graphics and a great story, the fighting is really cool and it shows some special last moves in slow motion. You can run up and across walls, you can slide down curtains you can even reverse time! The will also be parts in the game where you think that the game is other, in a cut scene the prince might say something that will hint that its over but its not, I actually find this quite a good thing to.

          Great game

          This game came to me by accident. About two years ago a friend of mine was trying to install it on his computer, but luckily to me his computer was not running very well so he asked me if he could give it a try on mine. I had very little idea about the game, a couple of years before I watched the Two Thrones announce but still it didn't appeal to me.

          When I got to play this since it worked very well on my computer I got instantly dragged into the world of Prince of Persia again (I used to play the first installment of this series a long time before). I think this is an excellent game. It has everything in the Adventure/Action genre. You are able to perform incredible acrobatics in order to avoid the classic traps from the original game (Blades, those sharp thing that come out of the floor, etc.) You have tons of deadly combos to use in the different minions, but above that all is the use of time. The features to control time are for example going back for a few seconds (to avoid a fall for example) slow motion for everyone and everything except for you, increase your speed, etc. with incredible results.

          Even if the adventure takes place in a castle (and a bit in your ship), it's still a really big castle where you can get lost(I don't like games that show you every step to win them, therefore you never get lost and always know what to do without doing some exploring, like God of War, which was the only title that I liked despite the characteristic mentioned above). So you can be sure there's a lot of adventure in Prince of Persia.

          Many people don't like this new aggressive, darker prince, but I think it works better this way. The prince is a bit soft for my taste in "The Sands of Time" and in "The Two Thrones", and I said a bit because he is a terrific main character. But I prefer the non-typical hero, and this darker prince fits that role very well. The other two titles intended to be little funny while this one didn't. An example would be some conversations between Farah and the prince in "The Sands of Time" and another would be a conversation between the prince and the dark prince in "The Two Thrones". Now about the soundtrack, there's no doubt that the other two surpassed this one. That is the only negative aspect I found in this title.

          Overall this game is really great and might be enjoyable for everyone. It is for me the best game in the sands trilogy. It kept me wanting more.

          My childhood game!

          This game was first introduced to me by an elder brother. As a child,I was very very attracted to the pics/graphics of the game he shown to me on his computer. Believe me,my curiosity was much much higher...I totally got intellectual in thinking how the gameplay will be. I was very surprised.

          Nowadays I have 3 games to play on my Dell inspiron 4 gb 3000 series laptop. Prince of persia:Warrior withini's one of them. I brought these from the cd market. I have a boatstone headset and a redgear joystick. I am an extreme gamer. I have already completed 6 games.

          I loved the fighting styles,fantasy and horrifying enviornment. And offcourse the music which is very thundering at all!!

          I actually love the darkness and the anger of the prince in this game and I think these two things engages you most in the entire game. Adventure is another big thing in this game.

          I thank to the developers to bring such a unique video game. I respect the developers and their hard work. My best wishes for them for their future.

          Thank you to read my comment!

          Best Game Ever

          I have been looking forward to this game since I first completed Sands of Time, and for me, unlike many others, it failed to disappoint. It is definitely better than the Sands of Time, which was a very straightforward game, too easy, and completed within the day.

          Yes, the Prince has grown up, and he is no longer a boy looking for his father's acceptance. He is not as lovable as the original prince. I do not believe this to be a bad thing, for it truly reflects the story. People who say otherwise either have a completely different opinion, or are too obsessed with the fact that the game isn't "Persian" enough to focus on the actual story.

          The prince is darker, angrier, and with a definite edge to his personality. This, I found to be very enticing.

          However, There are a lot of problems with the way characters are dressed. The women in this game are scantily dressed, especially Kailina and Shadhee, who seem to be practically naked apart from their thin garments and very revealing armour. The prince also has a strange armour. Everything except his chest is absolutely wonderful. His chest though...putting it lightly, it looks like he has breasts from certain camera angles.

          The music is amazing, still retaining much of the Arabian style, although others may have missed this due to the strength of the Heavy Metal in the background. It is all a matter of taste, really. Don't like the music? Turn the music off and turn on your stereo. There, problem solved.

          The graphics are spectacular, letting you see true contrast between the past and "present". However, I regret that the graphics were dumbed down for the PS2 version of the game. Really, this is a game made for the X-Box, since it's that that has a lot of the cool features...although I've only played on the PC and PS2 versions of the game.

          Fighting, as Ubisoft promised, is breathtaking. However, it is not quite as "free-form" as you might think. I found myself repeating the strongest moves in the game over and over, as I'm sure many others have as well. It is still strongly a free-form fighting system, nonetheless. You just have to learn how to use it.

          I am definitely looking forward to a sequel. I suggest you go out and buy/rent this game, and see just how much better it is than the Sands of Time, which was undoubtedly good in its own right.

            If you rewind time during when the Dahaka is chasing the Prince, the monster's creepy grumblings become intelligeble English.
          • Goofs
            At an early point in the game, Kaileena mentions that she knows about the Dahaka. However, near the end of the game when it appears in front of her and the Prince, she seems to be completely unaware of what it is.
          • Quotes

            Kaileena: [as their fighting] I hoped the Dahaka would kill you, I hoped my towers would finish you off, or that Shadee would keep you from the island! I even cursed the sword I gave you! And yet you did not die!

            Prince: Why would you do this?

            Kaileena: I already told you, I have forseen my fate. To die at your hands. But like you, I have decided to change it!
