Like the film? Love the game.
By a customer from Cheltenham, England , 07 Apr 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Ok it's all been done before and in terms of innovation there is little here that hasn't been done already. However this game does do it very well. Essentially a third person beat em up, with team additions. You play as one of The Warriors, a gang in 70's New York, who love to bop with other gangs and cause all sorts of mayhem in the war for more turf. Usually you are not alone and have basic control over some other gang members through the simple warboss command system. Violence, bad language throughout, criminal activities, moral deprevation are all checked, this is not one for the easily offended. Unusual for Rockstar? :-) The missions vary from helping bums get food, spraying your tags over other gangs turf, initiations of new gang members to defending your turf from rival gangs. It isnt the prettiest of games around, but i feel that was a conscious decision to help the gameplay. Having seen and loved the film a loooong time ago i was very curious about this game. It saves the actual film plot for the final levels and instead focuses on the backstory of The Warriors for the majority of the game. A good decision in my eyes. It was an interesting experience to learn more about the various gangs. A fun game if you haven't seen the film, a brilliant one if you have and liked it. Well worth the look.- Was this review helpful to you?

Best game ever.
By JakeHanson (1 review) , 08 Dec 2011I had this game back when I was younger, when the ps2's were all the rage. I recently bought a ps2 again to play some classics but found it har getting this game. As soon as I saw it from here I upgraded my package. It's a game you can spend hours on and not get bored or frustrated.- Was this review helpful to you?

The Warriors!
By Scowy (34 reviews) from Ipswich , 05 Mar 2008I had not really heard about this particular game but when I found out that Rockstar were behind it I wanted to give it a try. The game I found was great fun and hugely entertaining. The actual game does not take after the film until the later stages of the game but this is not a concern as the earlier missions are actually just as good if not better. The only downside to this game is that the fighting can become quite had to control when masses of enemies appear on screen but this is only a minor criticism for a hugely enjoyable game. Well Done Rockstar on another good addition.- Was this review helpful to you?

Very enjoyable but can become the same old stuff.
By Davie B from Paisley, Scotland. , 03 Oct 2006I thought this game was really enjoyable but it does become punching and kicking all the time and does become a bit boring. I think there is around 20 chapters in the game, and around the 15th I started getting bored with the game. The storyline in the middle aswell seemed irrelevant and at the end, it seems to add gangs in that havent featured in the whole game. Overall though, the game is enjoyable and I spent a good 20ish hours on it.- Was this review helpful to you?
