About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

Akella Bringing 'Prince of Persia Warrior Within' to Russia

by Judy on Nov. 4, 2004 @ 4:10 a.m. PST

Hunted by Dahaka, an immortal incarnation of Fate seeking divine retribution, the Prince embarks upon a path of both carnage and mystery to defy his preordained death. His journey leads to the infernal core of a cursed island stronghold harboring mankind's greatest fears. Only through grim resolve, bitter defiance and the mastery of deadly new combat arts can the Prince rise to a new level of warriorship - and emerge from this ultimate trial with his life.
Some years have passed since the Prince fought the treacherous vizier and stopped the grasping Sands of Time. When the Prince finally returns to Babylon after his long journey, he realizes that he's constantly pursued by the ancient creature named the Dahaka which intends to kill him at all cost. For creature is immortal, there's no choice for Prince but to evade the dreadful demon. Told by an old sage that the advent of the creature was the result of his interference with the Time which created a rift in the Timeline. The elder predicts that the Prince will inevitably die. But the young warrior did not get used to obey the capricious Fate.

A new voyage will lead the Prince to the corrupted heart of a dreadful fortress on a distant island, a dwelling of all the most horrible abominations a human mind ever imagined, guarded by terrible creatures of night and violent servants of death. The determined Prince intends not less than travel back along the Timeline to the source where The Sands of Time were created and prevent the very birth of The Sands. The Matter of Time will stay inviolable which would prevent the Dahaka from coming to the world of motrals.

The Prince himself has matured and become a cold-blooded merciless lifestealer. His combat skills are inimitable but his heart is frozen as if the Dahaka had breathed right into the Prince's soul. The graphics of the game is flawless as one of the approved Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The new dismal design delivers wholly fresh impression of fear and despair. The animation and special effects have evolved much, bringing new gameplay opportunities and making visual appearance advance greatly.

The game has become really hardcore as its main character did. Dare you challenge the Fate itself?

  • A new reincarnation of the familiar hero - not a young adventurer but matured cold-blooded warrior;
  • Ambidextrous Prince now wields two weapons at the same time;
