What happens when you make a great game and want to sell more copies? Make the sequel violent and add some Godsmack! Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within on the PS2POCALYPSE, a decent game.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within PS2 Review – A Darker Evolution of the Sands of Time – The Negative Press – This is the link to what the AI thinks about this game, now we can jump into what I think about this game.

You know, I have a hard time understanding at times that not everyone enjoys the same shit from video games. See, I like violence and bloodshed. Some people (weirdos!) do not. I understand that violence doesn’t really always make things better but hell, red is my favorite color after all. If you are gonna play this game I give you one warning, I hope you can tolerate Godsmack because, IIIII STAND ALONE!

 

The Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Story

Lets see here. You remove the love interest. You add a monster stalking you. A backdrop of the consequences of cheating death. Running from inevitability… yeah, you got me hooked. Following the story of the previous game, the prince is running. Running from this thing called the Dahaka, fate who feels scorned by the prince’s treason to the underworld for using the sand to stay alive. You’re gonna hack, slash, and put another hole in the ass of everything that by gawd moves.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Story 9/10

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Gameplay

So, the first game is tale of romance and intrigue and finesse. This game… this game we KILL! One of the biggest short comings of the first game is noticeable frame rate drop causing slow down at pivotal points. Yeah, we still got some puzzles here but the focus is on the damn action! Much like the discussion we had on stream about Twisted Metal Black, yes, maybe violence and dark themes aren’t your cup of tea, but they are mine… And they make me enjoy these games a lot more.

It’s just a slightly darker version of the last game just with more of a focus on combat and killing.

 

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Gameplay 8/10

So, with the better frame rate this game flows a tad bit better, also probably because platforming takes a backseat in this one.
