Prince of Persia – Warrior Within (PS2)

Description

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is the direct sequel to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Seven years later, the Prince is hunted by a monster known as Dahaka. He finds out that anyone who manipulates the Sands of Time is destined to die shortly afterwards; but the Prince has escaped his fate, and that’s the reason for Dahaka’s rage. Now the Prince must travel to the mysterious Island of Time, where he hopes to find the Empress of Time and, through time manipulation, somehow prevent her from creating the Sands in the first place… The game comes with a new, darker look for the Prince and his surroundings. The fights are more brutal and take a larger part in the game, as the Prince now has enhanced fighting moves including new attack moves via walls and poles. This 3D action sequel features the multi-talented title character of the previous year’s Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, who is now imbued with even more skills and abilities, and faces an even greater threat. Pursued by an incarnation of his own deadly fate, the acrobatic Prince must platform-jump, puzzle-solve, and swordfight through a quest that leads him to the surreal island home of terrible monsters that represent humankind’s greatest fears. One major enhancement to this sequel is in the fighting mechanics, which are designed to allow the Prince to string together jabs and slashes into customized combination attacks. Developing these skills will be crucial, as the hero faces even more combat in this adventure than in his last. Supernatural abilities will also play an important role, and the Prince can employ his influence over the ‘Ravages of Time’ to give himself a fighting chance against otherwise overwhelming odds.
