The sound is very well done, with the voice acting, additional noises, and the throbbing soundtrack. It's not something to get for the younger tykes. It's not the whore-slaying modern issues of Grand Theft Auto, but it's definitely violent. This game is rated M for MATURE and this is very apparent. He's still solving puzzles and skipping through time, but it is with a dark stare.
The prince's moves are angular, angry, full of power. The levels are all much darker visually and in emotion. The prince is definitely dark and angry now. Skip forward to this current release, Warrior Within. This added a really interesting element to puzzles, where you had to figure out if 'backing up' the time would help you solve the situation. In addition, Prince of Persia had a time system where you could go back or forward in time. The prince would jump up ledges, run along walls, somersault, and all the while the banners would be blowing in the breeze, a cloak would be fluttering, torches would be flickering. The hallmark of the original Prince of Persia game was its amazing motion and graphics. Where the first game was light and almost musical in its fluid grace, this latest Persia game is dark, violent, and has throbbing heavy-guitar soundtrack. Prince of Persia : Warrior Within for the PS2 is a darker sequel to the original Prince of Persia game.
