Warrior within? Really?

So glad someone else loves that game. Everyone gives out because the prince was a grumpy emo but man the conbat was awesome and there was such a cool, isolated, lonely vibe about the game's visuals and atmosphere.

Infinately better than the current gen POP.

With Half Life 2 instead of MGS, your list is pretty much my one.

Yep! The visuals were brilliant. I had an issue with the bright, cheery atmosphere of the new PoP. Like, evil forboding shit is taking over and it's cartoony?? Even before you revived places, it was too bright.

I loved the Godsmack that played when the Dahaka showed up, talk about pumping you up for the baddie! Oh man, now I want to replay it!

I much preferred how they did the old games. The only saving grace of the new one was the dry, sarcastic attitude of the Thief. He's not really a prince... That we know... So I won't call him one. Should have been Quirky Thief of Persia : Light Seed Gathering.

That would have prepared me at least. Meh.

Lol, nothing could have prepared me for that horrid Disneyfied QTE fest... if it had been a new franchise I might have given it a chance but man, they really killed the Prince.

I loved the Godsmack music too, those Dahaka chases were totally exhilarating! It was so satisfying to finally beat the bastard too at the end, that water sword was a lot of effort to get. It was old school tough, that game.

I always wanted to give Kaileena a hug too. Because she seemed lonely of course, not because of her gigantic dual, er, weapons.

I miss the old-school Prince. :[

Yeah, kicking his ass was waaaay too enjoyable.

I'll go ahead and admit it, she was a hottie.
