Warrior Within may have had a rocky first few hours, but the game itself was better than the original, IMO. Both the puzzles and the enemies were actually difficult and the freeformness of it it all made me fall in love with the game. The intro with the blaring guitar music was just plain bad though I must admit.
It is definitely my favorite in the series though. The art direction was beautiful too. And HOLY SHIT some of those secrets were hard to find, and once you found them they were difficult to complete.
I will probably pick up this sequel. Good to see they are choosing a stronger potential game engine by going the PS3/360/PC route. A little odd though considering they made that Prince of Persia: Two Thrones Wiimake.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
