Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

GamePlay:
Time Powers: To use his Time Powers, the Prince must have sand stored up in the Medallion. Rewind Time to cancel any mistake or avoid any attack. Each Rewind empties one sand slot, and every time you take sand from dying enemies it fills one slot. Special Time Powers consume one to three sand slots. The Power Timer shows how much Time is available to Rewind or use for Time Powers.

Saving the Game: At specific save points that appear as Water Fountains, you will be prompted to save your game.

Weapon Frame: The Weapon Frame display comes up only when the Prince picks up a secondary weapon. The Frame displays the current state/damage of the weapon.

Warp Rooms: In special Warp Rooms, the Prince can use his time travel powers to travel to a distant Past or return to the Present in the Timeline. Alter the Present by changing the Past!
