Prince of Persia Warrior Within PC GAME

Critical reviews of Warrior Within were generally positive according to Metacritic and GameRankings It was commonly agreed amongst reviewers that the platforming and adventure elements of the game were equal to, or exceeded, those of its predecessor.The revamped combat system and better integration of combat sequences into the gameplay were also praised, although a review of the GameCube version by GameSpy found it "still uninteresting". Warrior Within also contained more content than The Sands of Time, taking anywhere from 15–20 hours to complete
Jordan Mechner, who was the creator of the original Prince of Persia and worked on The Sands of Time but not Warrior Within, however, commented in Wired Magazine that "I'm not a fan of the artistic direction, or the violence that earned it an M rating. The story, character, dialog, voice acting, and visual style were not to my taste."
Eurogamer complained that the game lost much of its charm by making the game's visuals grimier, the story less involving and mature compared to Sands of Time, and the addition of blood and scantily-clad female characters was in poor taste. Penny Arcade parodied the Prince in comic form, claiming the once witty, likeable Prince character, turned into a more aggressive Gothic character, making him a "cookie cutter brooding tough guy with zero personality."GameSpot also criticized the game for having uneven difficulty progression and numerous glitches and bugs.
Although the prior comments seem to paint the game as visually crude and dull, Tyler Minarik of PlayStation Lifestyle has a differing opinion stating in his review "Despite Sands of Time having some of the best narrative and plot points in the series, the next entry, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within makes large improvements in just about every other facet of the game. Warrior Within introduces us to a desperate, angry Prince, who has spent the seven years after the conclusion of Sands of Time being chased by an unstoppable monster, known as the Dahaka." Video game enthusiast Devin Storey also states that " yes this Prince is darker, in contrast to the happy go lucky prince of the Sands of Time, but he has matured in darkness;and as a plant that is uncared for begins to show wear and tear so too does he."
