Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Considering how highly lauded its predecessor is, the fact that Prince of Persia 2 seems to so be effortlessly surpassing it, after little more than six months of development time, is a minor miracle. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was critically acclaimed but commercially underperformed; this sequel has a chance to right that wrong early on with a noticeably darker and more violent adventure. The Prince is being hunted by an "immortal incarnation of Fate", who's peeved with him for mucking about with the space-time continuum in the last game and aims to make sure he won't be doing it again. Although the Prince has a number of new acrobatic moves (including the rather Errol Flynn-esque ability to shimmy down tapestries) and time attacks (such as a new fast forward move that allows him to buzz through a cluster of enemies as nothing more than a blur of light) the most important new feature in the game is a completely new combat system. Using the analogue controllers to full effect, it's now possible to incorporate your weapons, enemies and environment into a seemingly endless stream of combos as you leap behind and around bad guys, steal their weapons and turn a normal wall run into a lunging slash attack. If this game was only as good as the last one it'd still be amazing but the genuine improvements already seen should see the Prince take his rightful place as king of the action platformers. --David Jenkins Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - The PRINCE returns, and he doesn't look happy!Prince of Persia Warrior Within is one of the best games i have ever played! and it deserves it space on my shelf next to 'The sands of time and TLoZ the wind waker. The game is set eight years or so after the sands of time, and follows the prince as he invades the island and fortress of time, in a bid to kill the Empress of time and stop the sands from ever being created. If he succeeds then the 'Dahaka' the incarnation of fate (a very nasty incarnation) will stop pursuing the Prince, and stop its efforts to consume him. While many have criticised this game, i have to disagree with them. Yes it does have a very heavy metal soundtrack, but it only ads to the action, sets the scene and is hardly noticable if your focusing on jumping form ...

I'd hoped for it to be a true sequel to POP1, swinging along like a monkey. Unfortunatley, it isnt truly like this Firstly, ill start with the good points. It is still truly awesome going to high places, like in POP1, and the fighting is improved (still repetive, but improved). Also, when you start playing, you will be impressed with the fighting, it is good at the start, with enough combos to make soul caliber feel insecure. However, now the bad points. The main one being the cynical attempts to make it 'cool' for the GTA generation, with heavy metal, instead of mid-eastern music, and the fighting. You walk into a battle, ... Read More: Rating: - Pleasently surprised!Right before I get into anything else, I'm not usually someone who goes for games that look like simple platformers that have button bashing combos, mainly because I find them boring and repetitive. Having said this I saw the reviews of PoP2 (obviously not having played the first one) and thought I'd stop being critical and give a platformer a try. When I started the game it was obvious that there was at least some thourght put into the story, something quite often missed from this sort of game. If you look through the manual you will find that there seem to be countless different moves that can be performed, however the tutorials (which can be turned off if you want to learn the hard way) give the game a very good learning ... Read More: Rating: - More of the same... PLUS MUCH MUCH MORE!!!I just bought Prince of Persia Warrior Within and at first was a little disappointed due to the first Level (Intro Level). It instantly felt like the whole format of the game had been changed to a slash'em'up and was no longer the same Prince of Persia as the first. Then you realize that the intro level is there to help you get used to the new combat system that have been added since the original game, no longer do you have to always kill the enemies with a final blow from the dagger of time (you can just strangle them instead... or throw their own weapons at them... or slice their throats... or sweep a few legs... or throw them over edge of... well... everywhere!). Add this to the new enemies that seem to have smarter A.I. (sometime it is scary how ... Read More: |
