Nice review. I think it was a mistake, but I got a laugh out of tree chunks. |

I dunno if you've played Warrior Within, but I am playing it now and it's not wonderful. Two Thrones just seemed bland and derivative, but Warrior Within is downright boring.

I was so psyched to play Warrior Within after finishing the first Sands. Not only did I find the game boring, but glitchy (I have the Gamecube version). I've been trying to force myself to play the other games, but cannot muster want.

Although I didn't play them in order (I played Sands, then Thrones, and now, much later--Warrior), I can safely say that Sands is EASILY the best, and then Thrones which feels like a pretty but limp retread and then Warrior at the very bottom. The stealth stuff in Thrones is pretty cool at least. Warrior's story is seriously lame.

I also hated the ill-fitting Godsmack song that played at different moments.

Ha, I don't know that I'd recognize a Godsmack song if I heard one... I'm wondering how the previous PoP game for PS3 was. The cel-shaded looking one.

I never touched Warrior Within -- all the negative reviews scared me away. |

Yup, that's the general consensus.

Ubisoft seems frustrated with this series. Whenever they try something new, it gets shot down. When they try to make it up by reverting to formula, they get attacked for being derivative.

LOL, yeah, that was a typo. Tree trunks was what I was supposed to put there. But thanks for the feedback everyone. I enjoyed writing this one.

lol. I don't know.. When Warrior Within came out, it had a lot of unfortunate commentary. Among other things, Mechner himself said he didn't care for it all that much, and disliked the gritty direction. The raw violence was slammed as terrible, the underdressed women was thought to be obscene and inappropriate. Etc, etc.

I haven't played "Warrior Within" in years, but I thought it was an excellent action game that suffered mainly from glitches. At the very least, I enjoyed it more than "Devil May Cry" or "God of War," glitches and all. Fleinn's post is spot-on.

I'm having trouble thinking of a single thing I liked about Warrior Within.

..by the way, asherdeus - it's a /Persian/ prince. Not an Arabian prince. Very important. :p

I don't mind the song, I just don't feel it fits with Prince of Persia. Kind of like a Fallout game with Slipknot in the soundtack.
