And Warrior Within wore its dark tone like a badge of honour. Aside from puzzles scattered throughout the fortress, there werenвЂ™t many moments of reprieve. The game contrasts not only with the other entries, but within its own confines. As if by some sorcery, vegetation returned and the grand halls were restored to their former glory. That somewhat changed once the Prince unlocked the ability to travel back in time. The island itself is dark and depressing its fortress crumbling and lifeless, unspared by the passage of time. As the Prince washes up ashore, the island greets him with a sombre melody and a pack of crows circling around. But the dark tone of the story seeped into it as well. ItвЂ™s true that gameplay remained largely the same (i.e. Unless you count the Prince sleeping with Kaileena in the latter.

Neither of the endings was happy, however. And Warrior Within also featured two different endings, one of them unlockable by obtaining every item in the game. Throughout the campaign, nothing signified that the Prince would come out on top. The tone of the story contrasts greatly with Sands of Time and Two Thrones it doesnвЂ™t fit in stylistically, yet somehow makes perfect sense within the overall storyline. In a somewhat predictable twist though, she turns out to be the Empress at the end of the game. And finally, thereвЂ™s the mysterious Kaileena, voiced by (gulp) Monica Bellucci herself. He also faces off against the rather provocative Shahdee in multiple boss battles. And then thereвЂ™s Dahaka, the shadowy figure which appears at various intervals to remind the Prince of his mortality. ThereвЂ™s the Prince himself, who changed a lot since his appearance in The Sands of Time he now seems defeated and vulnerable. Its story relied on but a handful of characters to tell the tale, which only added to the sense of dread. A gloomy premise that carried throughout the whole game. And as the last resort, he travels to the Island of Time to right his wrongs to gain an audience with the Empress of Time and prevent the sands from ever being created. Finding himself on the run from the Guardian of Time, Dahaka, the Prince pays dearly for releasing the sands. Warrior Within picked up seven years after The Sands of Time.
