Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

"Like Sands, the highlight of Warrior Within is still the platforming. And, like Sands, the downside is still the combat. Unfortunately, the platforming is so adversely affected by the other "more is better" aspects of the game. The result is simply not spectacular, innovative, or polished. It's just there."

"The man who would be king is back for a new romp through the desert, but the last year hasn't been kind. He's disheveled and angry, which makes for some pretty brutal fighting and good, tough puzzles. Turning our beloved Arabian Nights into Arabian Fight Night is a little unsettling, however, just like the crummy camera."

"While Warrior Within's combat and satisfyingly long campaign improve on last year's game, the now darker tone falls somewhat flat compared to the storybook atmosphere in The Sands of Time."
