The Warriors

Firstly, I have to say that The Warriors film is great. A real cult classic, and I was thrilled when I heard that it was to be made into a game. At first I wondered how they'd get around the fact that the game would be short if they just focused on the film's happenings, but I then heard that alongside Sol Yurick, Rockstar would be creating a Prequel to the film. And I must say they pulled it off well. They managed to introduce new factors and people, but were able to keep the gritty atmosphere of the film. It was cool to see how it all unfolded, having yourself to play as one of the 9 Warriors. The actual game play itself wasn't bad either. We're all used to Rockstar's other major title, GTA and I was expecting something of a similar sort, but it was far from it. The fighting styles and system was fantastic, giving the player dozens of ways to land some lethal moves....and without using a gun! The blood and gore isn't a turnoff either and makes you feel warm inside when you've completed a battle and see your Warrior half dead, but still hanging on! (A little comedy Rockstar addition i think.) It's great at how detailed the game is as well. Not in the sense of graphics or physics system but the options available. Whether it be beating a bum for money, getting arrested, mugging civilians, robbing a shop, smashing things up or stealing car radios frantically by rolling the L3 stick! Another thing is the "Warlord commands." It gives you that touch more power and definitely helps the game progress.....

It's also satisfying to experience such a great thing like The Warriors again. Seeing the gang defending their honour and name on the streets of New York........And it's a superb game, that can easily be played and completed, then played again for fun like other Rockstar releases. However don't expect to be beating it too soon. Crammed full of bonus mini games and missions, you should be playing this title for some time. I personally give it a 9/10

To be honest I'm surprised that the warriors wasn't made into a game sooner! Its theme of rampaging gangs beating each other up is perfect game material.

Well regardless of how long it took to come, all that counts is that its here now and that its tons of bottle hurling , graffiti spraying ,face punching fun !!

This is easily one of the greatest games to be based on a movie , not only in terms of gameplay but in terms of staying true to the film . In fact not only does it stay faithful to the film, it actually expands on it -the warriors adds a new back story to the movie that fits snugly besides the existing plot! It really is a commendable achievement.

In terms of authenticity the game excels. The game captures the grimy, gritty , down beat 70s look of the film brilliantly and features hilariously macho dialouge delivered by a cast who for the most part actually featured in the original film!

The gameplay combines the "crime em up" mechanics of GTA with a "def jam: fight for NY" like combat system , and its pretty easy to pick up-you'll be robbin bums for cash and breakin into cars in no time .However on an ethical level you may feel a bit opposed to playing a game in which mugging and vandalism allows you to progress.However if u can stomach the excess then you'll enjoy some great gameplay

On the whole this is one of the best games to be based on a movie.Its a grimy, tough, gripping classic.Great stuff.

After watching the warriors I played the warriors game and I got to give a hand to Rockstar Games and Paramount Pictures for making this game happen The story is better and different then the movie it starts off different when the warriors first met until the ending of the game when their at the beach. There is more language in the game then the first one and a lot more action violence and fun. The warriors game is the best beat them up game ever made The game is very good and I recommend people to play this game and after you complete the game I recommend Bully it is a awesome game too and also by Rockstar games the warriors game is awesome

Simply one of the best games I have ever played. Rockstar Games capture the dialogue perfectly, the screenplay brilliant and the game play amazing. The characters are amazingly accurate, but just one flaw in the graphical division - is the Rockstar image getting a bit old, is it time for a change? Who thinks I'm right?

Playing the game for the first time, it all felt a bit Grand Theft Autoey, but after a few hours, you simply drown everything in this game. You block out reality to just concentrate on the action! It gets a bit tense in the police chases, which are brilliant, and the rooftop chase with the High Hats and the Baseball Furies chase are some of the best levels in the game.

I've been a long time fan of The Warriors. Loved the movie, one of my all-time favorites. From the opening shots I was hooked. The story and concept was executed perfectly on screen. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.

As for the game, the only word that can describe it is "AWESOME". I've played a lot of games in my life but very few have ever made me feel like i'm really playing that character. And in this game I truly felt like a Warrior.

The game chronicles the exploits of the Warriors as they climb up the ranks of New York gang scene during the late 70's. Rockstar really did a great job of fleshing out the characters. The game takes you through the events leading up to the fateful meeting and shows flash backs of the gang's origins. The extra content seamlessly blends into the original script and really adds a whole new chapter to The Warriors.

The gameplay is very fast-paced and straight forward. The combat is easy to learn and just as easy to master. While at times it can be a little sluggish, and with some unexpected hiccups with the camera, the combat is very visceral. Issuing commands is easy and very intuitive but the A.I. is very smart usually doesn't need any input at all. And just as fun are the side-missions. Mugging, tagging, robbing stores is a terrific diversion from fights. Missions are varied and entertaining but at times became a little tedious especially on the harder difficulties but only on the latter levels. But the good far outweighs the bad.

The graphics, while a little blocky and occasionally rough textured, get the job done as far as feeling gritty and worn. Actually seeing your character get bruised and bled really helps immerse you in the world of The Warriors.

But the one thing the game sells is the atmosphere. As is the trademark of Rockstar Games, the music, design, and gameplay really draw you into the world. And with some of the original talent returning for voice overs, the game becomes that much sweeter. Especially having James Remar come back to play Ajax again(my favorite).

I can't recommend this game highly enough. It's a true gem as far as video games go and if your a fan of The Warriors you simply cannot go without this. 10/10
