    The game is too short and only offers repetetive gameplay and a story that barely lifts of the ground. there is some enjoyment in beating down the police and thugs but how far can that really take it? A mediocore game with glitches throughout and a weak dialogue.

    So let me start this off with saying I played this on PS4 and also I’ve never watched the movie but I had this game in my backlog so I decided to give it a try since I heard good things about it. So this is kinda like a prequel to the movie and leads into it as well the game holds up quite well with the graphics it still looks good honestly. The combat is really fun sometimes and I enjoyedSo let me start this off with saying I played this on PS4 and also I’ve never watched the movie but I had this game in my backlog so I decided to give it a try since I heard good things about it. So this is kinda like a prequel to the movie and leads into it as well the game holds up quite well with the graphics it still looks good honestly. The combat is really fun sometimes and I enjoyed the characters and the story but their are some negatives, sometimes the combat gets chaotic when their are too many enemies on screen and it’s hard to keep up with what’s going on, also I hate the cop sections where you have to rescue your group or get away their just frustrating and really annoying especially with the gameplay mechanics to escape. I found myself nearly taking off the game a couple of times also the tagging and robbing or mugging mechanics where annoying at best, their are some sections of the game where you have to run away from enemies or vehicles and those parts looked cool. Overall I’m glad I stuck with the game until the end and honestly I kinda feel like giving the movie a try as well.… Expand

    The Warriors, feels like back to 70's. awesome game, with good graphic for PS2 console, friendly control, nice storyline, good voice acting. But lack of side quest.

    The gameplay is varied, the combat is deep, and the presentational and multiplayer extras really push it forward. The biggest issue for many may ultimately turn out to be the game's extreme level of violence.

    As fanservice, The Warriors is a treat for anyone who loves the movie, and as a beat-em-up, it outclasses recent efforts from competitors. Yet as a complete package, it's somewhat inconsistent.

    Although it's certainly not a masterpiece, The Warriors gets by on style, flair, variety, and simple fun. [Nov 2005, p.144]
