Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, is an experience not to be missed by any action adventure lover...
The game play consists of mainly well planned puzzles, which may be to open a certain door, to get from point A to B or to activate a mechanism. The game is pretty difficult even on the lowest difficulty, so be prepared to play some areas again, since there is no manual saves and only a checkpoint system.
The GOOD: Firstly the game play, very well planned out puzzles, which gives you a good challenge. The graphics are still impressive, the environments and lighting effects take you in to the game. Some say that the darker Prince is a negative to the game, but I actually enjoyed the rugged look and the taunts of the Prince. There is plenty of gore in the game, so be ready for some splashes of blood. While the Hard Rock music that plays during intense fights, soft music plays during intense puzzle solving, the mix of music I though really got me energized and in to the game, also great voice acting. Another feature that I loved were the acrobatic moves of the Prince, the animations are amazing, special during the various combat sequences during the game. The story is well planned and is well bound with the game, there are some twists thought to keep you at it.
The BAD: unfortunately there are some bugs in the game, you can find list of the bugs and the fixes anywhere on the net, and personally I was only affected by one bug which wasn’t fatal. Sometimes the camera angles get really annoying and frustrating. Many say that a game pad is the best to play the game with, I played the game on a keyboard and I didn’t face any difficulties. When playing the game you will have to visit some areas many times over, some may find this boring. There is replay value when it comes to playing on different difficulty levels, and there are some alternative endings which may motivate you to play the game again. Overall the game was really addictive and is totally worth it, there is about 15 hours of game play, and my advice on bugs is don’t overwrite your saves, you might never know when you might need a previous save, although the bugs are not so fatal as to make you start the game from the beginning, as they say there is nothing a good reboot can’t fix. A very entertaining game can’t wait to play The Two Thrones.
