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.

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.
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 stumbled across this game on the IGN website and read great reviews about it. I have been and still am a huge fan of the GTA series, and this game seemed very similar to it. I took a chance and ordered it from Amazon. The next day, I went to Best Buy, and to my surprise found the actual movie. I brought it because it was so cheap and ran home to watch to, to try to get some background for the game. I fell in LOVE with the movie! It is by far one of the best movies of all time, but this review is about the game. The game arrived about a day or two after me seeing the movie. I popped it in and got hooked from the moment I hit the start button. The characters are so detailed and the plot is almost identical to the movie. I felt as if I took control of everyone in the movie to have events happen that I wish could have happened in the movie. The movie and game are worth buying!
Come out and plaaaay!!!

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.
well let's see... it's a rockstar game.. yep, it's a rockstar game.

how many games have rockstar made? i don't know, but it seems like it never ends. the godfather, grand theft auto, bully... all the same damn game with different graphics and different stories. the warriors mixes it up *a little* by focusing on the close melee combat. unfortunately, the melee combat isn't nearly as fun when you're playing it as it looks in those screenshots. it doesn't help that there's a lot of gangsters on the screen at the same time, making it hard to see who are your buddies and who you should be beating up.
as in every other lame rockstar game, the controls are too complicated (read: easy to forget). there's a different control scheme for everything from picking a lock to busting down gates to.. you name it. the problem is (like in grand theft auto) there's no quick reference or reminder on the screen to tell you the controls. so i'm sitting there with a full "rage meter" and can't remember how to use it. this game isn't worth sifting through the controls in options to learn how to do something. now if it was ninja gaiden, it would be worth looking up.. but this is certainly no ninja gaiden!
the good: good graphics, good storyline, great dialog and style. unfortunately, it's a bunch of style and some pretty boring repetitive gameplay. even super mario bros. 1 had more variety than just punching and kicking. yawn. i'll be skipping anything that says "rockstar games" on it for the rest of my life. they never really make anything new or exciting.
Another ban?

With the recent pull of San Andreas from store shelves, Manhunt being banned pretty much everywhere, and Jack Tompson trying to get Bully banned in Florida, it`s a wonder why noones talkin about this game, at all. Its worse than GTA in some respects, although theres no sex, and cussing isnt as bad (tho, its BAD) this is the most violent game iv`e ever played. Im not tryin to put the game down, im just sayin people are worryin bout Bully which aint violent at all, over this psycotic but awsome beat em up.
