Due for release in its traditional end of year slot (most likely late October, we predict), it puts to bed the story of the Prince and his adventures that kicked off so memorably back in late 2003, and hopes to combine what was good about both games into one irresistible whole.Īs all the talk this week moves onto the next gen, there's no question the current machines will still have plenty to offer and the third in Ubisoft's reinterpretation of the Prince Of Persia series will be near the top of the list of the games we'll be focusing on as the nights draw in at the end of 2005. It's a confusing world.īut now there's time to make amends, as our recent one-to-one with producer Yanis Mallat will hopefully demonstrate as he discusses how the concluding part of the Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time trilogy is shaping up. No one would claim Warrior Within was a disaster, and it certainly sold plenty more than Sands Of Time, but there's always been this lingering suspicion that a lot of people bought it on the back of how wonderful The Sands Of Time was said to be, even though they didn't actually buy that. Few game series have ever changed direction so markedly and no sooner had Ubisoft restored the PoP brand to prominence, it was cut adrift by the majority of critics, aghast at what had happened. Ask anyone here at Eurogamer what their favourite games were of the last two years, and Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time will almost certainly figure near the top of the list.Īsk them about their feelings on Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within, though, and those warm expressions of undiluted joy turn to a painful grimace.
