While it may be a what-if game it is still entertaining and manages to slightly set itself apart from its prequels and become an excellent action adventure game.

On par with the first of the series - PoP The Warrior Within takes all the best from both the 1st and 2nd - great puzzles and great fighting. Dual swords, awesome boss characters to contend with - just a wow game all around. Worthy of your time, for sure. And they toned down the rock-and-roll back-music from the 2nd PoP - thank goodness.
