Live's up to the movie and A little past it!

User Rating: 9.4 | The Warriors PS2
Being a huge fan of the movie, this title was a definite purchase for me. My primary reason for buying this game was to see if Rockstar would do it justice, well the verdict is in, and Rockstar's efforts are more than justified. Simply put, this game is AWESOME. All of the characters were very well done and they really captured the mannerisms and charisma of each Warrior individually as well as other sublties such as the Female radio DJ from the movie narrating the events that just took place. it's little things like that, that makes this game great.

Co-op mode is what really makes this game. What better way to represent gang unity than having a good friend join you in "wrecking" rival gangs. but as unified as the warriors may be, that shouldn't stop you from exploring parts of Coney on your own. After all there are some things you must do alone, like Mugging a lone drunk for his booze money in a dark alley. lol. Speaking of "mugging" i really enjoyed the mini-games that this game had to offer. Everything from Lock-picking and Stealing Car Radios, to Struggling to escape being arrested by the Police. Makes me wish Rockstar would have added some of these features to GTA.

As I said the story mode was very well done it follows the movie plot very well, but perhaps what is most interesting is playing the "Flashback" mode. This provides sort of a history lesson and gives players insight on how the "Warriors" came into existence, and fills you in on the their activites before the BIG Meeting with Sirus which is really cool. The Warrior far exceeded my expectations. If you are a fan of the movie, you will not be disappointed as Rockstar has made a beautiful Movie-To-Videogame transition with this title. Even if you've never had the pleasure of viewing the movie, the Warriors still offers strong gameplay mechanics, a nice fighting systems, and a Co-op system that doesn't restrict you to single-screen wedlock. so you are free to roam the streets without being baby-sitted by your partner via Split screen.
A Very Good Purchase. CAAAAAAAAAAAAN YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU DIIIIIG IIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
