Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (Xbox)

Played it once at a friends house. very violent.

Not anymore violent than avatar.

love it

I greatly enjoyed this game, however, the skimpy clothing on some women and bloody violence might just be too much for some younger, not-as-mature players. I loved the continuation of the storyline from the first, however my problem with it was that the enveloping storybook-atmosphere of the first was lost with this darker, more mature sequel. This is still a worthy addition to the series. If you are a fan of the first and are old enough to play it, you won't regret it. If you can't play it because you're not old enough yet, don't worry, the first was still the best.

Warrior Within replaces the storybook quality and light hearted humor of sands of time and replaces it with gory decapitations and a much darker story line. Violent moves range from cuting enemies heads off, and cutting enemies in half, to strangling and throwing them off cliffs. the prince that we all loved has turned into someone who kills everything in his path, has now humor, and shouts taunts like "you should be honored to die by my blade". there is also nudity, and sexual refrences in it. now the good things......the traps and acrobactic moves are still there, and are better than ever. the graphics and envorments beatiful. the game is also a whole lot longer than the original, probably because there is a lot of back-tracking. overall this game is pretty good if your can get by the decapitations, blood,gore, violent moves, half-naked girls, and sexual refrences. only recemmended for mature gamers. just stick with the original and leave this one on the shelf.

This game has a much darker tone than sands of time did. all the great platforming is back, as well as the memerable boss fights. but the one liners that the prince constantly spouts during combat need to be removed, and the soundtrack just doesn't fit this type of game. it isn't really that bad, blood disapears instantly, as do dead bodies.
