 Lessons in Thuggary April 7, 2006
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
Being a huge fan of the movie, I was excited to hear that there was a game coming out. Immediately, the game really did a good job of recreating the movie with great character models and voice overs.Getting into the game, a was unable to save, as the game auto saves, sometimes after only completing certain objectives. After replaying the same level a few times,I decided that mugging people, and tearing up businesses, so I could buy spray paint for tagging just did not appeal to me.The game seems to forget the cheesy fun of the movie in favor of excessive violence,and thuggary.
 One of the top 5 action games this year on any platform April 1, 2006

If you've played Double Dragon or Streets of Rage back in the day then you should have a blast playing this game. Rockstar Toronto pays homage to 'The Warriors' in an incredible way. Based on a 70's cult movie this game represents everything that an action/brawler should be and more. From the interesting mini-games (tagging,looting,car stereo theft) to the all out carnage of beating someone senseless with a 2x4 this game boasts enough content to keep you coming back for more. The presentation is nearly flawless and aside from the average graphics and slightly odd camera angle issues the game is in a league of its own. The story fills any plot holes that were in the movie and as far as i'm concerned is one of the best fleshed out storylines in any videogame i've seen this year . Two player co-op plus a wide variety of options makes this game a buy instead of a rent. As long as you're not a graphics wh0re and you like brawlers The Warriors should satisfy you in every conceivable way which sadly cannot be said about most action games that have come out recently. I'm hoping that Rockstar Toronto keeps the same amount of quality when working on future titles, espescially next gen. [Not for the younger gamers or the faint of heart] 5/5 Can you count, suckahs?
A Fan's Dream Come True! March 28, 2006

For fans of the movie the Warriors, you owe it to yourself to get this game. To fans, it is the closests you will get to being in Warrior heaven. The look, feel, story and game play puts you right in the movie. Technically, this is a prequel to the awesome movie until you are about 75% finished, then you play the movie. What is so cool is that in the prequel story, you also learn how every Warrior we have come to love joined the gang and even how the Warriors were started.
I have played this game twice since I bought it when it was released, and I can say that this has a HIGH replay value. I picked up this game and played again and it was just as fun as it was the first time I played. Not bored once. I really do like the bonus game that is like the 2D fighting games of yore. To unlock it, just beat the game and all the bonus missions. It is totally worth it. The sounds of that bonus game really take me back.
Overall, this is a must have for all you Warrior fans out there. You will live the movie!!!
Warriors.......come out to plaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!! January 7, 2006

When i first heard of theis game, i was pretty exited. i hadn't seen the film, but it still looked great. So, i eventually saw the film, which is awesome, and soon after, got the game. Probably the best brawler iv'e ever played. The game is about a gang called the warriors. Now, this game is a prequel, so you get to see how the warriors started, how they deal with enemy gangs and you also get to see Ash, who wasn't in the film. After the prequel levels, the warriors attend a huge gang gathering organized bt Cyrus, leader of the biggest gang in NYC, the Riffs. Cyrus said he didn't want anybody packing. The meeting was to inform every big time gang about Cyruss dream of a unified super gang ruling the streets. Well, one gang, known as the Rogues didn't like this, so their leader, Luther, brought a gun, and shot Cyrus. The cops arrived, and mayhem followed. Luther pointed at Cleon, leader of the Warriors and said that he had killed Cyrus. The Riffs beat Cleon to death, while the other Warriors escaped.Now, every gang in NYC is out to get them. It's 60,000 against 8. In this game, you will encounter tons of gangs, such as the baseball furies, the moonrunners, turnbull acs, the rogues and the hurricanes just to name a few. get it.

My wife has been a fan of the movie "The Warriors" for many years now, so naturally when she saw the ad for the video game she wanted it. I ended up getting "The Warriors" game for her for Christmas and she hasn't even touched it yet........mainly because I'm the one always hogging up the XBox. When I first saw the ad for "The Warriors" I thought "Why would anyone want to make a video game based on a cheesy 'gang' film from the late 70's?" But now I can't imagine NOT owning this great game. The main story missions are so fun you'll find yourself frequently revisiting your favorite levels just so you can bash some poor soul over the head with a sledgehammer repeatedly or throw a random looter through a store window. Yes the game is brutal, yes the language is harsh but it is oh so fun. From the mindless violence to the great mini games, "The Warriors" offers hours of great gameplay that is well worth any gamers time.
