And rather than focus on the fiendish jumping puzzles that have been a Prince of Persia standby since Jordan Mechner originated the series for Broderbund in 1990, Warrior Within, while including scream the acrobatic conundra, would tilt the scales much more aggressively toward complex, combo-driven swordfighting. Amazingly, these enormous foundational changes have resulted in a game that scream plays as well as, if not better than, The Sands of Time. It's nowhere near as original, clever, or well-written, nor is it remotely faithful to the Prince of Persia scream franchise; but the surprisingly elegant new combat system, rich graphics, action-packed pacing, and control improvements on the PC platform are without peer. Though Ubi made a heroic attempt to ruin it, Warrior Within manages to transcend more than a year of incompetence on the part of nearly everyone involved with its production.
