Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within was one awesome experience. I must say I haven't ever experienced a game with as many action sequences as this one.. The game not only has great graphics but its great gameplay and the compelling storyline gets the player totally involved in the game. This game was one of the best RPG's that I've played. The graphics was great for its time and the gameplay provided hours of enjoyment. From the slow motion action cuts to the deadly combination attacks.. The game has all the close-combat action one needs to get their adrenaline pumping. The game was really winding according to me and as I really dont like games that make you end up at the same place multiple number of times, the time-ttravelling became seriously over-bearing for me.. The various minions and blade-dancers were some of the most fun enemies to deal with, with the exception of the golem( which wasn't that tough either). The combination of acrobatics and pure gameplay made the game, one of its kind. The simple and even the tough combination attacks, once gotten used to, wreak damage and you can easily slice your way through as many enemies there are.. The cool abilities that the prince acquires as he goes on through levels such as Rewind and Slow Down help out a lot in many levels. The Breath Of Fate, Wind Of Fate and Cyclone Wind Of Fate can only go so far as to just kill a few weak minions but nonetheless are uselful in certain situations when the Prince gets ambushed. The Prince's health increases via water upgrades all around the Island Of Time but in some cases without a guide it becomes really difficult to find the locations of all the water upgrades and it results in us not having the Water Sword and ending up with the alternate ending which is such a boring ending.. So that, I found was one of the factors that made the game a drag.. Tha game requires us to travel back to the timeline as the Sand Wraith which was the coolest part of the game by far as the replenishable sand tanks made the game a lot more fun.. But the game becomes quite boring when it comes to the puzzles of fixing pipes together or making a sort of formation in some cases.. That, in my personal opinion made the game a bit slow and made it eventually lose its rhythm.. The Dahaka chases were interesting but in some cases were just slightly irritating such as when he first thinks he defeats Kaileena and beats the timeline, there are over 5 continous Dahaka chases which slowly become more and more dull.

The thing I liked most about the game was its soundtrack which was awsome to say the least.. It made the action sequences a lot more enthralling.. The title song which we get to hear at the end during the credits was great..

The thing I found funny is that the Prince drinks so much water to replenish his health but I never found him have an urge to go to the toilet... He should watch out for a bad kidney problem.. I think that might turn out ot be his killer rather than the timeline..lol..

The game has an immensely interesting storyline which continues from the story of the prequel, The Sands Of Time. The story begins with the Prince wanting to prevent the Sands from being created. So by time travelling through time he tries to find the Empress Of Time and prevent her from making the Sands but as it turns out he helps the Empress(later, Kaileena) create the sands. The Prince then runs to get the Sand Wraith's mask so that he can change the past and get a second chance. The Prince in the end convinces Kaileena that they can change their fate by working together and they defeat the Dahaka(keeper of the timeline)[this is in accordance to the primary ending].

So many elements in the game make it, a gamer's choice.. It can draw in anyone with its elusive gameplay and promise of intense action..
