What can i say..........? I have very high hopes for this game after been watching the movie. It's a must watch movie for me. From the makers of Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt i can expect a lot from Rockstar. Gore, stealth, running around, chases.

The Warriors. A gang who get mistaken for the killing of a leader from another gang. All through the night they have to try and make it back to their own turf before any other gang gets them.

I would definitely like to see an online or multiplayer game where you set up your own gang.

The movie was great. I am looking forward to the game when it comes out. Hope it will be on xbox as well. Looking at the game Red Dead Revoler. I know rockstar will not let us down.

Best movie adaption since John Carpenter's The Thing

I just bought this game today . I played it and I have to say I really loved it. You have to love the movie to truly love the game. The voice acting is very good. This game is so much fun . The last fighting game that I really enjoyed was Streets Of Rage . The controls take a few minutes to get down, but from then on it's easy to get a hang of. The Warriors movie has always been a favorite of mine for a long time. Rockstar puts out the best action games. Vice City and San Andreas. They combine these games with the classic fighting games and put the entire package together very smoothly.

If you liked the movie then you ...............

I never watched the movie until I played the game. Kind of backwards, I know, but the game is just so much fun. The graphics aren't anything really special, but the lack of graphical power is more than made up by sheer fun. The framerate is excellent, even when you have like 20-25 guys fighting, throwing stuff, and running around on screen all at once. The game is well-paced, and by the third level, you will know all the moves and it will feel like you are one bad mother!

Play this game, it is worth the $50 because a lot of extras are included as well. Plus, you can play through the entire story with 2 people! Twice the fun! If you liked Shaolin Monks or Bouncer, play this game. The Warriors is what Shaolin Monks and Bouncer should have been.

A new GTA

Rockstar gets it right....

I'm only about thirty percent of the wat through the game, but so far Rockstar, in usual fashion, has gotten this one right.

A lot of people are comparing it to GTA, which I think is somewhat accurate when it comes to the mission-based structure of the game. The atmosphere and layout of the environments is far more similar to Manhunt (minus several degrees of creepiness). The playability within those environments is unlike either game, as there is no gunplay, and the fighting interface is far more advanced than either GTA or Manhunt. And while you can hide in shadows and distract enemies with thrown bricks and bottles, that's pretty much the extent of the overlap with the sound/shadow focus of Manhunt. There's also the comforting fact that most of the time, if you do get spotted or caught, you're going to be able waste whomever's after you anyway. As far as the general playability, the lack of slowdown when there are 18 or more brawlers on the screen is astounding. The ability to control your character in the mayhem is extremely smooth. The one drawback in that regard may be the difficulty in rapidly cycling between targets when deciding whom to attack. That's one instance where the targeting system that first appeared in GTA:VC would have been helpful. I should also mention the Warlord commands, which your character can give whenever there's one or more Warriors alongside. This interface I was slightly apprehensive about, fearing something overly complicated and difficult to use on the fly. It's neither. There are six orders you can give the other Warriors, they're issued to the group as a whole, and all can be easily issued in a split-second. You're basically telling them fight, trash something, scatter, follow you, etc. There's nothing complicated about it, and it's extremely effective. Pick the lock on a store, issue the 'Mayhem' command, and you and eight other Warriors will have the place bashed up and cleaned out in no time. It's not un-fun. Really, the Warlord commands have less to do with strategy and positioning your men as they have to do with simply making sure the AI players are doing what you want them to do instead of standing around while you catch a beating or continuing to rob a store after the cops make the scene. This also an autosave game, so there are no save points, it just happens automatically at certain points along missions. However, between each mission you end up back at the Warrior's hangout, where among other options you have the ability to go back and replay any mission you've completed in search of a higher score, or to unlock something you might have missed. As such, there are no 'missed opportunities' arising from the autosave feature.

As for the overlap with the movie, so far I love it. The game begins well prior to the meeting in the park, and shows the Warriors coming up in the New York gang scene. And while just 1/3 through, I've already run into the Orphans (complete with Sully and Apache), Turnbulls, Punks (the bathroom brawl gang), Furies, Electric Eliminators, High Hats (the face-paint mime guys) and more than a few other gangs pulled from the early scenes of the movie (the accuracy and attention to detail here is so gratifying for a fan of the movie- the gangs that populate the game are the same ones that you catch glimpses of in the 'heading to the meeting' montage in the movie- it arguably couldn't be done better). Many of the voice actors are the original actors, as is the case with Swan, Cleon, and several others. Perhaps most importantly though is that James Remar is back for the voice of Ajax, which maybe more than anything lends the real feel of the movie to the game. When you're out there brawling you can easily pick out Ajax's voice bellowing about cracking skulls or the opponents being a bunch of wimps. You can use 'flash' bought on streetcorners to boost your own health or revive fallen Warriors. After reviving Ajax on one occasion he stands up and wonders 'I blacked out. Where'd that wimp go?!' Priceless. Anyway, thank you Rockstar for going after James Remar, and thank you Mr. Remar for agreeing to reprise your role of Ajax, if only in voice.

Anyway, like I've said, I'm only about 30% done, but am more than happy with what's happened so far. The game is good, and the accuracy in translating the feel of the movie to the game is just so well done. You can tell that people involved in the development of this game really are fans of the film. If you like the movie, and own a PS2, you'd be missing out if you didn't pick this up.

Yippy, a fun game!!

When I seen Rockstar was coming out w/ a new game, I was pumped to say the least. I loved every game they have created, well, except for Manhunt. But, this game is fun fun fun. I have played single player and two player Co-op. 2 players is by far the highlight of this game. You and a buddy can run around and beat the $##% out of anything that moves, or doesn't move for that matter. The environments are very distructable. You can also pick up objects and toss 'em around like fun little toys. So, if you feel like tossing a brick at a copper's face, be my guest. Throw a cash register if you're really feelin' crazy...

This game seems to be made from a small portion of GTA. Do you ever find yourself walking around in GTA just beating up people into a nice tendor pulp? Well, that is what this game is based on. Only, add a GREAT story line and a great fighting system. Love this game, tons of fun and decent in length. Looking at 15 or 16 hours of gameplay. But, who wouldn't want to throw glass bottles at your buddy's face over and over again.......

My Personal Favorite Game Ever

Rockstar Toronto definantly has pulled it off. This is a great game, arguably the best of the year or close to it. This is my favorite game ever. I am not a fan of all the driving in the Grand Theft Auto series so I like how with this game there is alot of walking. Stylistically, the game is top par, bar none. This is a classic.

Awesome game!

I havent seen the movie but i hope to soon.This game is a mixture of grand theft auto san andreas and a little bit of manhunt.The graphics are okay but they could be better.You are in a gang called "The Warriors" there a pretty tough gang.You can spray paint walls,steal car radios,rob stores,get drugs,and tons more!The story line is great of what I hear its just like the movies stroy line.You are against other gangs also.So if you liked any of the grand theft auto games you will love this game the same publishers made it (rockstar) and its almost just like gta san andreas in a way.
