In a nutshell:
The Warriors film is arguably the best gang film ever made and who better to bring its gritty, claustrophobic vision to the PS2 than Rockstar, the super-developer behind the GTA series.

The Warrior's story is simple: when Messianic gang warlord Cyrus decides to unite New York???s underworld into one unstoppable NYPD-stomping force, he???s killed before his plan reaches fruition. The Warriors get the blame, meaning you have to fight your way home through 60,000 extremely angry, tooled-up gang members on a remorseless quest to make you bleed. And you don't have any guns--1970s New York gangsters had ethics, thank you very much.

A brawler in the classic Streets of Rage style, this is fast moving, mission based gameplay at its best. Don some dodgy '70s clothes, pick up your baseball bat, and pray you get home in one piece.

The lowdown:
Based on the 1979 cult movie classic of the same name, The Warriors is about street fighting. Grabbing absolutely anything you can find from meat cleavers, to baseball bats to crowbars, the violence is intense and gritty -- with no guns available, the only option is to go hand-to-hand with New York??s nastiest.

Most exciting moment:
Get your Rage Meter high enough and unleash some imaginatively gruesome special moves, further ratcheting up the brutality in a game that???s already unnervingly violent.

Since you ask:
Stealing car radios and holding up convenience stores isn???t as easy as it looks. Specially created mini-games let you break into shops and cars and mug passers-by so you can save up for sweet, life-giving "Flash" -- just the thing for patching up those partially battered Warriors.

The bottom line:
Publisher Rockstar is well used to repackaging life on the streets, but let???s hope this mirrors the excellence of Grand Theft Auto rather than the dismal pointlessness of State of Emergency.

Amazing game, dam good, a very stisfying game, if you want a fight, then pick up this game and go for it. I have the film, the game and the soundtrack. The controls, graphics, music and story are all superb. Of course the graphics are at best for a PS2. The game takes you on a journey reflecting the film. I agree with the other five star ratings and their comments. The brawls are great in this game. Evading cops and helping your gang members in fights seems realistic and you really engage yourself in the game. The game initiated my whole interest in the cult of The Warriors. A must have game. Enjoy!

Although I did not watch the movie of 'The Warriors',I loved the game!The gameplay,the sound,the graphics,all was so awesome!I liked most of the gang's costume designs,gang names and gang's warchief,especially 'The Warriors'.Although I LOVED this game but one point was dissapointing for me.I expected more action and fights from Mission 15,16,17 and 18 (Especially for Mission 17 when 'The Lizzies' invited 'The Warriors' to their hideout,i expected more flirting,sex and action for that Mission).Overall,I give rate for 'The Warriors' game

Graphics: 4/5 stars
Gameplay: 4.5/5 stars
Sound: 5/5
(Highly recommended to buy or play!)

So for those for had not own this game,please get it for your PS2/XBOX or PSP
Warriors Came out On Game-ame! - Reviewed on 2007-12-02

This game was designed on the film by Rockstar. At the start you may not like it, for it lacks the freedom most rockstar games have, but as you progress the game gets more intense and interesting. The graphics were quite dull, but you won't pay much attention to them when your breaking some other crews solider in half. The fighting isn't that amazing but it will make you smile, because this is a classic fun beat-em up. A new updated version of this, with better graphics, fighting, surronding etc. would be perfect, but the fact that it would have the same story line may make the game the same.

Overall it is a good fun game to play and basically two player Rockstar Game!

Usually games based on films are poor but this is an exception. This game

is amazing. Easy controls and good graphics make this game a pleasure to

play. I think this beats GTA. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to

kick the life out of something, brilliant.
