Video Game Reviews of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
Customer Review: An overall nice game
Summary: 5 Stars
First this was one of the best sword games I played.
I liked the earlier game, Sands Of Time and it was fun to play. But the combat was very frustrating and it almost spoilt the fun.
The best part of the game was that its combat has significantly improved and the puzzle solving part was almost intact.
Things that improved and I liked a lot are
-- ability to weild two weapons and perfom lot of combos on it. The ones I liked was XXYYXX. Very effective against group of enemies.There are other combos which are are also very effective.
-- good combos on single move also. And I always did the steal and kill move where in you strangle the enemy and steal the weapon and then kill it. But beware do it if that is the only enemy left.
-- ability to throw the secondary weapon. Some enemies are very suseptible to this and suffer good damage.
-- ability to throw enemies on other enemies or even throw them off the cliff.
Sad part I have to battle with so many girls for which I could have other plans. That also brings up one not so required part of the game being rated M. Sometimes I forgot if it is a Persian palace or Oscar presentation when seeing the dress.
I did miss Farah in this game.
The game has BOSS battles but then it is almost predictable. You dont have much moves in the boss batles.
The other thing I missed was some BOW and SPEAR action. Although u could almost get SPEAR action by throwing weapons.
Another thing which I and lot of other people missed is the simplicity of the prince in sands of time. Blood and enemies being sliced apart are shown a lot. Not sure if it was needed. Not that I hate violence in games(I have played almost all of Doom series). But I just felt that this game could have done without that.
The game does get bit confusing if you are not following properly because of the time travel. The storyline is lengthy and you travel in similar rooms at different time. That can sometime be confusing. But advantage is that if you miss to get something (like a treasure artwork chest or gain extra life) you can come back with more sand powers.
Its not that you can get the game with just combat supremacy. Apart from the normal puzzles there are time limited puzzles There are at time where you have to be sharp and vigilant when u are chased by Dahaka. One wrong move and you are done. But then of course you have sands to reverse the fate. Also this game makes use of the sands a lot. And you cant get across some puzzles without using the sands.
And Yeah there is are quite a few suspenses in the game. I dont wanna spoil those. Play and u will know. Hint SandWraith .
Overall the game is fun to play and I give it full 5 stars to play. I m just happy that I dont have kill the same an enemy 300 times. A nice calculated move or blow might be enough.
If you like Prince of Persia series then the game is it. When playing I was wondering what if Halo3 had master chief the ability to move like the prince and strangle the elites and jump over enemies and fire guns while in air :).(Okay I admit I am a Halo fan). But the novelty of the moves in this game (POP) inspires me.
Waiting anxiously for the third game in series.
Try to play Sands of Time before you get started on the game. If you can live with the frustrating combat of Sands of Time that game is also great.
