Prince Of Persia Warrior Within Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time ranks among the very best console action-adventure games of this generation. Despite the critical acclaim, Ubisoft decided to tinker with the formula in hopes of attracting a wider audience with Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. The result is a much darker Prince, who speaks in a gravelly voice, travels through a rather grim labyrinth of saw blades and spiked floors, and is solely concerned with saving his own butt, no matter who he has to take down in order to do so. In the process, Ubisoft Montreal re-invented the combat system, added a few new traps, lengthened the gameplay experience, and threw in a number of bosses. So, with all of these improvements, how is it that Warrior Within isn’t as good as The Sands of Time? Warrior Within takes place several years after the events of The Sands of Time. The Prince, having originally released the Sands, is being hunted by the Dahaka, guardian of the timeline. The Dahaka is a massive dark warrior that serves fate and will pursue the Prince until he is dead. Desperate and weary from the years of running, the Prince makes a final play, heading to the Island of Time.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

The hope is that if the Prince can somehow go into the past, he can stop the Empress before she ever creates the Sands of Time, meaning he would never have opened them and the Dahaka would have no cause for its hunt. The premise certainly sounds good and the story of Warrior Within has more complexity than the simpler fable of The Sands of Time. Ubisoft chose to use this story to darken the Prince, draping him in a morose take-crap-from-no-one attitude, changing voice actors to provide the Prince with an edgy Clint Eastwood snarl, and giving him such novel lines as, “You bitch!” No, this is not Sands of Time, this is the new Prince of Persia and the idea of a dark character, dark atmosphere, and dark story are forced down your throat from start to finish. It’s too much, too forced, and frankly, not as appealing as the Prince of old. From a thematic perspective, it’s a step backwards, even though the gameplay remains excellent. In Ubisoft’s decision to make a bad-ass, no-nonsense Prince gamer’s could better identify with, they instead made the Prince more generic than before. It’s the Arbanian theme, the whimsical feel and luscious bloom lighting of The Sands of Time that helped it stand out among other action games. And though the gameplay mechanics remain unique to the world of the Prince, the character seems like a quick selection from video game Central Casting.

Endure the epic.

There is no Farah in this adventure, no white dove that shows some light in the darkness. There is nothing to contrast the gloom seen throughout Warrior Within. The Prince is not out to save the world, he’s out to save himself at the cost of anyone who gets in his way. This isn’t even a tale of revenge. It’s easier to empathize with the Prince from The Sands of Time, because he’s likeable, and he’s at least trying to do the right thing. The only character in peril this time is the Prince. He’s not a hero this time out, he’s just a guy trying to save his own ass. Though the dark look and feel of Warrior Within were off-putting at first, once I got past those elements, I fell in love with POP all over again. Warrior Within is quite an enjoyable gameplay experience. With many of last year’s complaints addressed, it would be tough for any Prince fan not to enjoy the sequel, just don’t expect to love it as much as the first. As with The Sands of Time, Warrior Within sets you in a confined environment (this time an island), throws enemies in your path, and has you perform acrobatic feats that would seem to defy gravity. Once more you will run along walls, swing off bars and fly through the air like a trapeze artist. Though the essence of POP remains, the game’s structure is a little different.Children of Morta

Where The Sands of Time put you at the starting line and then pushed you from point to point, rarely returning you to familiar ground, Warrior Within has a slower pace and a more open design. The majority of your quest involves activating two towers (Tolkien fans, please don’t send me your angry letters), which open a door that’s keeping the Prince from his ultimate task. You can choose to go after the towers in any order and you can trek back through the majority of areas at any time if you want to explore, look for hidden treasure chests (which unlock art), or hunt down the elusive, booby-trapped chambers that hold health meter boosts Throughout the Prince’s journey, you’ll come across time chambers, where the Prince can hop to the past or present. This changes the enemies encountered and the overall structure of each room. It’s an awesome sight at times, to witness a room in the present — dilapidated and barely in one piece — transformed to a pristine grand hallway, with working traps and better lighting. As with most open adventures, there’s a lot of backtracking in Warrior Within and while many instances place you in a different time period when you backtrack (making for a new experience), there are several times where you will revisit the same rooms, pass the same traps, defeat the same enemies.

Control the ravages of time.

These repetitive moments really screwed my navigation up, as I would pass a few familiar traps and think, “No, I must be going the wrong way, I’ve been here before.” While the backtracking is a little too much in the end, there’s a lot of variety to the areas, more so than in The Sands of Time. The more drab locations, which are prominent early on, are the weakest, the later sections of Warrior Within feature some fantastic design and great art direction. I love the gigantic moving gears in the Mechanical Tower and the gorgeous green Garden Tower. The areas that caught my eye most, that really made me appreciate Warrior Within, were the ones that were less dreary and reminiscent of the style from The Sands of Time. Critics of The Sands of Time’s length have nothing to fear. If the first POP took you eight hours to beat, Warrior Within should take 12-14 hours, a good length for an adventure game. Any longer and it would have become monotonous. As for concerns that this is an all-combat affair, Warrior Within has the same balance of platforming, puzzles, and combat as Sands. However, the platforming elements have been approached a bit differently this time out.Worms W.M.D

When Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was released last year, it was a very pleasant surprise. The game was an action adventure offering in the truest sense of the term, featuring beautifully detailed levels, environmental puzzles, and, of course, the acrobatic Prince of Persia himself. It was an amazingly faithful modernization of a beloved classic. With the newest iteration in the series, Warrior Within, developer Ubisoft Montreal appears to have addressed the biggest complaints about its forebear, which specifically involved its repetitive combat and short length. Yet while Warrior Within’s new 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. In addition, technical issues on the Xbox and PS2 platforms also mar the experience a bit. However, make no mistake: Warrior Within is a still a very worthy sequel. Warrior Within continues the prince’s story from last year’s game, so, because the prince has unleashed the mystical Sands of Time, he finds himself pursued relentlessly by a menacing time monster called the Dahaka. The Dahaka is a beast that devours everything in its path like a walking black hole, so to escape it for good, the prince decides he must travel to the past to kill the Empress of Time to prevent the creation of the sands entirely.

Explore a violent underworld.

Sound like a conundrum? Well, if you can accept Back to the Future, you shouldn’t have any trouble suspending your disbelief for the plot in Warrior Within…although the game is probably meant to be taken more seriously than the Michael J. Fox film. The prince’s journey takes him to a ruined fortress on the Island of Time, where you’ll find yourself fighting inside the castle, in mysterious caves, and in the outdoor gardens, where some of the game’s most attractive level architecture can be found. Warrior Within borrows a page from the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in that you’ll be exploring in the same areas in two different time periods. Special rooms scattered throughout the fortress let you to shift back and forth between the past and the present, and areas of the castle will change accordingly depending on the time period. So, for example, the clockwork tower that had delicate machinery and giant working gears in the past looks run-down and broken in the present day, with tree branches poking through walls and ruined pieces of machinery scattered on the floor. Of course, the path you take to navigate each room also changes depending on the time period you’re in.

The new time travel mechanic serves to lengthen the game, but it also adds an element of backtracking that wasn’t present in The Sands of Time. This isn’t to say that Warrior Within involves as much open-ended wandering as, for example, a Metroid game. For the most part, the game still plays in a very linear way, but in some of the later levels (which feel like they were a bit rushed), it isn’t always made clear which direction you should be going in. An in-game map always shows your current location, as well as the time period you should be in, but the lack of detail in the map makes it impossible for you to know exactly how you need to get to your next stop. This can sometimes lead to a bit of frustration as you fumble about, but, for the most part, it isn’t a problem…so long as you’re paying attention to the clues the game gives you. The good news is that even discounting the time lost from deaths and wandering aimlessly, Warrior Within is a much longer game than The Sands of Time. In fact, it should take the average player around 15 to 20 hours to complete. While the middle of the game feels like it drags a bit, an interesting twist toward the end has a drastic effect on gameplay. This same twist also freshens things up for the home stretch, which ultimately delivers you to the final, rather difficult, boss fight.

Like last year’s game, the prince has the ability to rewind time for a few seconds to correct mistakes. This is a clever game conceit that lets you make up a missed jump or a combat blunder without wasting time to reload the game. There are also other time-related abilities, such as speed, which come in handy for both combat and getting through traps. There are additional spell-like abilities that can knock back and damage multiple enemies that surround the prince. All these are limited by sand slots, which can be recharged by defeating enemies in combat or by breaking open jars and other items strewn about various rooms. Enter the dark underworld of Prince of Persia Warrior Within, the sword-slashing sequel to the critically acclaimed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Hunted by Dahaka, an immortal incarnation of Fate seeking divine retribution, the Prince embarks upon a path of both carnage and mystery to defy his preordained death. His journey leads to the infernal core of a cursed island stronghold harbouring mankind’s greatest fears. Only through grim resolve, bitter defiance, and the mastery of deadly new combat arts can the Prince rise to a new level of warriorship and defend what no enemy shall take away – his life.Arietta of Spirits
