My prince of persia Warrior within review

Well I know its a bit late for this but wanted to try my hand on writing a Review for a long time and I loved this game so I thought this would be a
Good thing to start with so here goes...

After Sands of time blew our minds with its mind-blowing gameplay storyline And graphics ubisoft Montreal quickly got into the development into a darker sequel for the prince of Persia franchise and what an awesome sequel it is, addressing the biggest complaints of SOT like being 2 short and a not having an engaging combat system they hit us smack in the face by adding a
Lengthier campaign and ofcource the awesome amazing enchanting free form of Fighting system.

Warrior within feature a new and sort of improved prince who’s grown matureAnd has in short become a bad ass than that fairy tale prince that he
Portrayed in sot. It starts off with a cut scene about him talking with an old
Man about changing his faith. The graphics in the cutscenese are simply
Mind-blowing and I always wonder when will the actual gameplay look so
Beautifully detailed like the ones in the cut scene. The game basically is about how the prince is condemned cause he messed around with time and unleashed the sand of time and now the evil beast dahaka is after him for doing so. We are on a quest to kill the mysterious empress of time whose the creator of the sands them selves. And it’s all up to us to try and help him to change his fate. (Believe me the story is far better when u play the game than my description: P) that along with a few mind bending twists in the story is the main factors that will pull you into the game more deeply than anything else and you actually loose track of time playing it hehehe.....

You fee l more attach to the prince than ever and you will keep wanting to play the game till then end to see what happens faith has enstored for the prince. So to put it in short the story line is extremely impressive and satisfying.

The combat in this game is intensive and the free form of fighting and
Dual wilding of swords is extremely fun and works like a charm. Although
Sometimes you are so into the combat that u don’t care what u want to do to
The guy except kill him simply by left clicking you’re mouse and pressing E as hard and as fast as you can until everyone around u turns too dust. But
Still it is fun to throw enemies off the edge or throw weapons at them or
Strangle them. My favorite move in the game was definitely the dual sword
Decapitation, it’s done beautifully where u see a guy’s head cut off in slow
Motion and blood spilling out from it, I mean what more could you ask for ;).
There are a few boss fights in the game and they are fun to kill but a bit
Overused. The combat is mixed with some cool time powers like the old
Slowing of time known in the game as "The eye of the storm" where everyone
And everything except you gets slowed down and this power is the one which
Really comes in handy during boss fights. Then there’s the powerful Ravages of time power where your screen turns red and you pull off multiple combos
Extremely fast, this is really fun to use but it drains of around 2 sand
Tanks, and there’s also the power called cyclones of fate in which u throw a
Central energy blast, which throws all enemies around you and hurts them a little this one really comes in handy when you are surrounded. Ofcource
There’s also the brand new travel through time where you can travel to the
Past and present.

The most exciting part of popww for me were those dahaka chase
Sequences where the screen suddenly turns sort off black and white and heavy metal music provided by god smack kicks in man it is simply thrilling when uHave to quickly pull off several jumps and swings to get away from it and if Ur playing with surround sound its even more funner to hear his giant
Footsteps behind u while ur trying at any cost to escape his clutches. These
Chase sequences are extremely fun and get harder and more challenging as you Progress in the game

The graphics in the game are awesome especially the environmental and
Level designs are stunning. The animation of the prince is as fluid and real
As before and is done well the monsters and beast look real and monstrous
Enough to hate them ;) and the big ones like the brute and that flying eagle
Boss look cool and I even caught a bit of heat haze from some of the fire
Lanterns in a few stages. The only complain I have in the graphics department I have is how they've animated A character in the game called Kaileena although Her voice is given by the super model Monica Belluci her animation is
Absolutely horrible and looks really out of date her face and hair absolutely horrible and her features were not at all detailed. She looks as bad
As that beautiful princess in sot I mean she looked so hot in the cutscene
But when the game began I almost laughed out: P same thing for kaileena she
Plays an important role in the game and I really wish the ppl at ubisoft had
Taken more time to give her the features that she deserves I mean c’mon with a voice like Monica bellucis they should have given a body deserving of it ;)
Even the prince sometimes in the normal cutscenes looks like a sissy: P

What is a Prince of Persia game without environmental jumping around?
Puzzles and traps, and prince of Persia warrior within gives you more to keep
You satisfied till the next sequel if there ever will be one: P. It
Absolutely awesome and fun jumping around and running across walls. Walking
Along narrow beams while one of the enemies is trying to get you as well as
Going down curtains with the help of your sword are a few new and interesting
Feature added to popww and is fun. There are a few puzzles in the game but
They’re not that hard if u put some thinking to it ull solve it easily and
That is a let down as I felt that the puzzles in sot were a bit tough and
Challenging. But still the environmental jumping and swinging around is
Extremely fun and ull never get tired of it and is every bit as satisfying as
The combat.


Well no game is perfect till this date and like all pop ww has a few
Things that are annoying. First thing is the stupid camera angles in some
Places you will feel like it has a life of its own, but still if Ur patient
Enough u will get used to it and it won’t bother u much then I mean who cares
About camera angles when Ur life is at stake and you just have to get to the
B***h empress of time to stop her from creating the sands.
Another part of the game that most of the ppl played it find annoying is
The fact that some of the levels are repeated several times, I mean ull have
To go through a level that u just crossed; all over again to get somewhere
Else and with a different purpose and this purpose I guess keeps you going
And also the second time Ur equipped with a more powerful sword so u can
Finish of the enemies quicker and go through faster .to put it simply the
Game becomes a little boring, going around the same places and getting lost
Sometimes, but the story and twists keeps u going. And also there are a few
Secrets like a hockey stick, raymans glove or something like that and a few
Secret weapons that add a nice touch to the game.

The music this time around is mostly heavy metal provided by godsmack and Is awesome atleast to me cause im a fan of heavy metal. In some parts there’s A combination of heavy metal along with some Persian type music which adds a Nice touch. But still I was kinda hoping for it to match up to the fantastic Music of sot which had superb and enchanting Persian style music, but I guess They’ve added the heavy metal to suit the darker tone of warrior within. The game also has a lot of replay value, as there’s an alternate ending to The game which u gets by collecting all the life upgrades and the combat System keeps you wanting more.

Allinall I think this is an awesome and worthy sequel to the sands of time and the best third person action game ive played this year with awesome graphics, fun combat system a lot of blood and gore ;)(which we fps fans cant do without it: P) and the best and most engaging story line with mind bending and intriguing twists that will keep you to the edge of your seat till the end. I would definitely give the game a 9/10 and a must have for all pop fans and those who’ve never tried third person game this is the game to start.
P.S id liketo thank my Critic Imagine without whome i would have seriously messed up the story part of my review :P thanks man....

Review is good...but after 45 mins of gameplay i am bored to death...the camera angles are bad enough but to add to it, the gfx arent too good either....the music...its ok.....in my honest opinion, POP SOT was waaaaaaaaaay better than this....in terms of gfx, gameplay, music and the story.....though i have not played the game much....but SOT had a much better storyline at the same stage of gameplay.
 
well, de reason i prefer WW to SOT, is that, de Prince in WW is more mature, in SOT he was naive,.... I liked POP WW not only because of de game play, I liked it, as i hv mentioned couple of times,bcoz of de music, n i must dere were certain irritatin things, like goin thru de same traps now and then, infact thru out de game, but like satan said, I wud giv it 9/10,

@Satan, good review man.
