They’re not entirely wrong, but bor the most part, the changes in tone suit the game, although at times they go overboard with the bland heavy metal guitar riffs and cheesy battle taunts. Many fans have lambasted this decision, claiming it’s “too angsty” and “filled with generic rage”, and accused UbiSoft of selling out to the masses. Along the way, the Prince further meets Kaileena, also scantily clad, who decides to give him a helping hand.Īlthough Warrior Within does lose some of the fairy tale charm (and cute romance) found in The Sands of Time, the darker approach isn’t necessarily a bad thing. All the while, he’s stalked by a scantily glad figure called Shahdee, more affectionately known as “The Time Bitch” amongst webcomics like Penny Arcade. His only chance for survival is to find the Empress of Time to make her lift the curse called upon him by fate. The Dreamworks-cartoon-reject Prince of the first game has become a dark, ferocious warrior, given that he’s constantly stalked by Death for screwing with fate in the The Sands of Time. At any rate, they decided to give Prince of Persia a darker, more mature edge in hopes of snagging more mainstream gamers.
Furthermore, Warrior Within would also be the first game in the series with no involvement of creator Jordan Mechner whatsoever, which might have motivated the developers to put their own stamp on the series with an entirely new tone for the next game. While Sands of Time was a critical success, the game didn’t sell quite as well as Ubisoft had hoped.
