When gang leader Cyrus called a summit for every gang in New York, he asked them to unite into one massive army -- under his command, they'd be strong enough to take over the city. The gang kids seemed ready to sign up, until Cyrus was shot by a rival. It's pinned on "The Warriors" -- a small-time gang from the edge of the city. Blamed for a murder they didn't commit, The Warriors have to get from the Bronx to their home turf in Coney Island, with every gang in New York chasing them. Help them fight their way through all the gangs they meet -- and get them home in one piece without getting grabbed by the cops. | | | Product Details: | | | Product Length:

 Warriors...Come Out To Play!Apr 10, 2007
By J.J. Kilroy
"devon_maloy"
This is a blast! Reminds me of Manhunt. The dark late 70's sci fi thriller music makes it really dark. The graphics and action are slick quick and brutal! I can't believe the quality of the animation, action, audio, and graphics.
This game really sucks you in, just like the Grand Theft Auto series. Based on a cult movie from the late 70's, its a fun odyssey. Its pretty much "Gang Theft Brawler: NYC Stories". Its really violent and fun, with all kinds of savage street weapons, run ins with the cops, burglary, muggings, beatdowns, and 70's blaxploitation lingo.
Managing your gang in realtime, with nicely primitive gang function commands (mayhem, wreck'em, let's go, watch my back, hold up, etc.) gives it some strategy flare, and makes it more like an RPG, or less redundant, anyway.
I like the fact that this has a 2 player option; perfect! Especially since the movie inspired the Double Dragon video game.
This game really immerses you in a real city: New York, NY and surrounding urban areas. I've never been to NYC, but I know a lot of the geography is used in this game.
The plot is decent, since it fills in blanks around the movie script.
This game may get redundent, but we'll see. The movie was about how the Warriors (your gang) traverse the city, full of other equally weird looking and brutal gangs that are hunting your gang, for good reason.
The soundtrack includes "I Love Livin In The City" by none other than Fear. It just spells every reason I'll never live in the suburbs.
Can you dig it?

One of the Best Renditions of a Hollywood to Handeld ConversionNov 30, 2007
By DJ
The video game is impressive in its simplicity. You don't need maps and guides to get through the levels, but it will keep you entertained with plenty of action and details.
The story plot carries well and the controls compliment the graphics. I would definitely not recommend this for kids. The language is way too crude and while true it's only a video game, it is still glorifying street crime, graffiti, and violence. I'm not jumping on a moral high horse, but I would not give this game to a child.
I saw this movie in 1979 (I was not yet 16 but still got in to see it). It was the height of "toughness" in that era, especially if like me, you lived in an urban neighborhood where everyone thought they were bad a**es. The game so far takes you through the same perils that faced the characters of the movie. It's impressive that Rock Star games was able to re-capture the momentum of The Warriors and pack it all into a hand held.
Turn the volume down or use headphones where you're on a plane or other public place (due to the foul language). I play the PSP on my long commutes to work or flying on business trips and you have to be aware of your surroundings when the audio is on.

Great Smash 'em Up Game!Dec 11, 2007
By Dharma Leggat
If you're looking for something of a mix between GTA, and Manhunt, you're looking at the right game! Wonderful game play with many hours of play, although it can be a little repetitive. You can have a second player combine forces in co-op and also battle you in multiplayer. You can smash up the entire environment, as well as use basically anything as a weapon. Steal radios from cars, rob stores, and wreck police officers; whatever it takes to prove The Warriors are not to messed with.

Awesome!! Addicting!!Aug 02, 2007
By M. Kaff
I bought a psp through craigslist, and it came with four games including; The Warriors, GTA-LCS, Socom 2, and Rainbow six vegas, when i got it I played every game except The Warriors because I thought it was going to be some stupid MK like game. But when I got around to playing it I was addicted, I haven't played any game since!! Buy it you won't regret it. The story mode is awesome!!
