Well, as long as they can keep everything fresh and original, I'm not complaining.

Warrior Within was the most enjoyable of the trilogy for me. The soundtrack was bad at times (especially in the first 30 minutes), and the game certainly wasn't perfect, but man was the combat system rejuvenated from the first game.  The lackluster combat is what held the first game back.

The level design was simply amazing too. Not to mention the game was actually difficult! This is one of the things that made me love the game the most. The puzzles were so much more freeform and challenging, and you actually had to worry about the enemies beating the bejeezus out of you. The boss fights were great too, especially the last one against the Dahaka.

Two Thrones had some challenging boss battles like in the second one, but other than that it was a little too easy.



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

Warrior Within has flaws that make it the worst game in the trilogy for a lot of us:

-The prince was unlikeable in the second game while he was likeable in the first and third game

-the soundtrack was laughable

-the levels were reused in the second half of the game

-the second game used a generic dark tone while the first and third games used a lighter tone

Also there were a shitload of glitches. Some game ending.

Warrior Within did a lot of things right. It has the best story of the three plot-wise, it has a deep combat system, it's long, challenging, the Dahaka chase sequences are amazing. But they also made a lot of mistakes that fortunately were corrected in T2T, the characters are terrible, the Prince in SOT was a fantastic character, and here is hateable, the dark-goth-metal style doesn't fit when compared to SOT, there are glitches (one of which happened to me).
In all, if Ubisoft had made a WW with the final story and gameplay, but keeping a light atmosphere and a Yuri Lowenthal-acted Prince and fixed the glitches, it could have been one of the best games ever made. Sadly, they didn't, and WW stands as a good game, but worse than its simpler, yet more charming predecessor

As long as they make the next POP with an atmosphere similar to SOT, I'm in

Weren't the glitches on the PC version only? I played it on PC, sure I had them, but played on PS2 and didn't saw a thing.

Yeah, the true ending was... disturbing. If ScrewAttack ever make a top 10 weirdest sex-scenes in a game, this one has got to be n1. Seriously.

About the soundtrack- most of you say it didn't fit. For me, it did. My opinion is that in either Prince of Persia or God of War the music is 100% authentic, so hard-rock isn't a bad alternative after all...
