The Warriors game is a good move based game, but I feel like the product shows that the developers thought that The Warriors didn't have enough content to make a good game.
There are 18 missions that take place before the movie's timeline. The movie itself: 5 levels. That is, the movie is 20% of the game missions. I do think it is nice that they gave the backstory for every Warrior, but it is a bit much. Also the backstories have almost no relation to the movie part of the game. As I was playing the earlier parts of the game I assumed that you were visiting locations that you later would have to trek through. Actually they have no relation whatsoever to the movie part.
The game is also shockingly linear. Rockstar has a pedigree for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy style sandbox games, but this game is NOT by the GTA Rockstar, this is Rockstar Toronto. They also made the PS2 Max Payne game and Manhunt 2 for Wii. (Rockstar North in Scotland makes the GTA series.)
The controls are simple: kick, punch, & jump. You can also pick up knives, bottles, or other items to use as weapons. While playing this game I was constantly reminded of brawlers like Final Fight or Double Dragon (NES). Just like those games you can play the entire game co-operatively. The minigame "Armies of the Night" that you get after beating the game is a Warriors spin on those side scrolling type of games.
The soundtrack is top notch, and many of the voices of the movie return for the game including Ajax, Swan, Cleon, Cochise, & Mercy. Some of the new replacement voices are so good that I didn't notice that it was different people until the credits.
Ultimately this is a good game, but to hear that Rockstar was involved after Grand Theft Auto San Andreas had gang fighting, will probably make you expect a different game. Unlike GTA:SA you will not have turf battles and you can't take a rival gang's territory. Also the game does not have a GTA style overworld that you can explore. Each level is an isolated piece of the city with straight-as-an-arrow linear action.
If you were expecting GTA: The Warriors, you will be disappointed. If you were expecting Double Dragon: The Warriors, then you will be quite pleased.

This is a great homage to the movie of the same name. For anyone that has played any of Rockstar's flagship games (Grand Theft Auto) then you will be familiar with this game. But, as always, Rockstar gives you a different feeling in this game where you actually have different elements in this game such as teamwork, stealing (there is a fun mini-game where you can take a car stereo from a car, and lockpicking. If you picked up bully and after you played the Warriors, you will see where bully got most of it's element. The story takes place weeks before the movie takes place, so you actually get a feel of the gang, each and every member. Anyway, if you are looking for a game with linear and some not so linear qualities to it, this is one to check out.

Just Like The Movie!

This is a really cool & fun game! Rockstar went to great lengths to make it just like the movie, even getting a few of the original actors from the film to provide voiceovers, such as Michael Beck (Swan), James Remar (Ajax) & Deborah Van Valkenburg (Mercy).

Yes, there's plenty of blood, violence & even some gross stuff sometimes (like boppers throwing up in the street after drinking too much, for example), things that Rockstar video games are known for, but the scenery & overall gameplay are excellent. The only minor complaint that I have is the length of time it takes to beat a couple of the levels; an example is Rembrandt's "initiation" sequence, where you have to get past a bunch of winos & street bums. These guys just keep on coming even after you've beaten the holy hell out of them!

After that, you move on to duking it out with several of your fellow Warriors, which doesn't take nearly as long to complete. I haven't been able to get past the 3rd level (Payback-East Coney) where you have to "tag" the Destroyers' turf as well as get past the whole clique to defeat the level.

This is small criticism though; you'll have a lot of fun playing this game as I did. As Cyrus said, CAN YOU DIG IT?? Enjoy!

Very dissapointing

The worker at GameStop recommended this game over Sopranos and Transformers(I haven't played either). This game is a mix of very easy and non-engaging. The entire game you are given instruction after instruction about 5 seconds apart. It feels as though the game keeps telling you, "run forward", "follow Warchief" over and over. The game for me became boring after about 20 minutes. I was anticipating some further action to take place, but never got to it.

I really enjoyed this game. I thought it went into the backrounds of all the charaters really well, how they ended up with the warriors, etc. I absolutely loved the non-stop fighting and mini games. If your into fighting games and love the warriors, I'd recommmend this.

another underwhelming rockstar effort...

well i learned my lesson with rockstar and rented this one. i bought gtaIII because of the hype and hated it. once i got over the newness of running around anywhere i realized how much it sucked. then i bought manhunt, which was unspeakably terrible. i rented vice city which was alright...then in some moment of madness rented san andreas which was a ugly (ps1 level graphics) mess of a game. like gtaIII it was frequently too hard and frustrating and definitely not worth the effort. which leads to the warriors, a bad game based on a bad movie which plays badly. what more is there to say?
