Old school, solid beat em up

User Rating: 7.8 | The Warriors PS2
The Warriors is a beat em up style game based on the cult classic film "The Warriors", The Warriors follows the path that so many games go down, following up a movie with a video game. But the Warriors does what few others like it have been able to do, and that's succeeding in making a fun game multiplayer, or by yourself.

The gameplay in the Warriors is solid. Expanding past your basic punch and kick controls that your standard beat em up features, though the controls could have been done better, and do feel a little funky at times. Either way, from throwing some chump into a wall, to beating his face in with a lead pipe, it's solid. The graphics are nothing special to look at, but are good enough to not take away from the game.

The game is story driven, and tells the story well, following the movie, and adding a lot of backstory to the movie. Regardless of your taste in games, The Warriors is something worth checking out, and if you've got a friend along with you, it's twice as fun.
