Awaken the merciless Warrior Within! Back from the brink of death the
Prince has to face his most fearsome opponent yet. The mythical beast
Dahaka won’t rest until our hero is dead. In his struggle for survival the
Prince ventures onto the mysterious and foreboding Cursed Island, where he
faces a horde of dark, demonic creatures. Fortunately, our hero isn’t the
boyscout he used to be. With his newly found inner badassdom and a new
arsenal of deadly weapons and fighting techniques, he’s ready for whatever
danger he might encounter. Or is he?
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within builds a new layer of depth and
complexity on the dynamic combat system of it’s predecessor, The Sands of
Time. Freeform fighting mechanics combined with a wide range of swords,
axes, maces and even improvised weapons will allow you to slay your foes
with style!
The Prince is back in his darker, brutish incarnation.
Special moves and ranged attacks in a new, dynamic combat system.
Environments to bedazzle your eyes and puzzles to strain your mind.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Vibes are almost impeccable, ico-like, but the edginess betrays it. At least, unlike T2T and Forgotten Sands (PS3/X360/PC), it knows what it wants to be.
This game is great, but there is DRM still in the game.
Best to get the game on a steep discount to see if the games DRM allows your computer to run it or not.
GOG hasn't removed the DRM after several years of selling this game.
The DRM checks your computer when you try to launch the Prince Of Persia game either from the exe file or from GOG Galaxy.
The DRM looks for compatible hardware and if it thinks your hardware isn't compatible, it won't let you try to launch the game.
It seems to work better on Intel computers.
I wish this DRM didn't exist, but I'm happy I get to enjoy a great game for now.
Maybe GOG will remove the remaining DRM in the future if possible or a mod will fix the game.
The general consensus is "Sands of Time with worse plot, worse tone & better gameplay". Unfortunately, I don't agree with the second half of that. Attacks can multi-hit (thank god) and sand extraction is gone. The thing is, I didn't mind sand extraction - its frustrations were a symptom of the REAL issue: the inability to select targets or control the Prince's movement orientation and this has NOT been fixed.
Other changes are even more annoying: almost all enemies have massive lunges on their attacks so evading attacks through movement is barely possible. And, for all its faults, Sands of Time at least understood that its combat system is tailored for juggling groups. Warrior Within has a much bigger focus on terrible, repetitive 1v1 boss fights with huge healthbars.
Outside of combat, the only notable change is an incredibly clunky free camera which gets stuck on everything and gets dragged by the movement keys. I honestly can't decide whether this or the old fixed camera is worse.
This game decides to take the Prince of Persia series into a different path - more and better combat but less storyline.
Graphic wise it's a bit improved over The Sands of Time.
The music remains just as good as the tracks found in the previous games aswell.
The combat is very fluid and the attack options are big in numbers, along with the possibility to use your surroundings as a weapon.
Sadly though, the story is very bland and there's obviously less effort put into it that the previous entry in the series.
