Prince of Persia: Warrior Within: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The second game in a [[Continuity Reboot]] series of the [[Prince of Persia]] games, with one of the most amusing [[Darker and Edgier]] twists in history. The storybook "Arabian Nights" feel of the first game [[Mood Whiplash|was replaced by]] sexual content (including several [[Stripperific]] female characters, graphic violence, language and heavy metal music by the band Godsmack. Followed by ''[[Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones]]''.

* [[Actionized Sequel]]: ''Warrior Within'' was taunted as having a more complex combat system than its predecessor, as is implied by its title.

* [[Alternate Ending]]: If you get all the life upgrades, you are able to acquire the Water Sword, {{spoiler|which turns out to be the only weapon that can even harm the Dahaka, who turns out to be the [[True Final Boss]]. By defeating it, the Prince is able to save both him and Kaileena from their fate -- but regardless of the ending the end shows Babylon under attack by a prototypical version of the Dark Prince and Farah being held captive}}. In this case the [[Broad Strokes|basic story]] of the alternate ending is the canon for the next game, which Kaileena [[Lampshade Hanging|acknowledges]] in the opening narration.
