Prince of Persia Warrior Within - PS2 Game (Retro Fam)

This game is the best game i've ever played. The graphics are amazing, all of it looks like it's from the cinematics. The game play is even better, the controls don't lag. The story is really well written, it gives a chance for the persian prince to mature and grow along with the world he tries to save. So if you love action, amazing graphics and an intersting story line pick up this game but if don't like said stuff then don't pick up this game.

The Good: Great graphics and audio, updated combat is fun and intuitive, story is evolved smoothly, longer campaign, unlockables, superb level designThe Bad: Difficulty is terribly unbalanced, could have used some more combat moves, more weapons would have been nice, recycled levels can get tediousThe main thing I don't understand is why everyone hated the style of this game. I think it's BETTER this way then it was in PoP 1. The dark and gory atmosphere better suits the story then the light hearted storybook style as the first. I also don't understand why everyone hated the music! I thought the music was great and was some superb heavy metal and really got the mood going. This one has everything great about the first plus more. More weapons, more abilities, more puzzles, longer campaign, unlockables, it's put together so well. There are more bad things in this then the first though but for some reason it doesn't detract from this game being so great. The enemies in this game can take FOREVER to kill unless you have a more powerful weapon and due to this can lead to constant frustration and many deaths.The levels in this game are constantly recycled where you'll do an area in the present the do it again in the past then LATER go through that area again. The level design, even though better and more intricate then that first, can make you lost very easily with no sense of direction. The gore in this game is awesome and slicing off heads and torsos couldn't look any better. If.

After playing Sands of Time, I had to get this one, and they are very different... Parents be advised that the rating on the game did go up, and that is because it is much more graphic (more blood and "beautiful" women wearing revealing clothing) and contains some profanity. The moves are a lot more advanced and technical in this game as well. It's still a lot of fun to play, but it seems like you're running around not sure what you're suppose to be doing a lot more often in this one than in Sands of Time - which had a more linear storyline and an easy to follow plot.
