The Warriors Review
The Warriors - 8.1
Based on the 1979 cult-classic film, The Warriors brings the same tension, excitement, and overall gangster feeling the movie brought twenty-seven years ago. But it's different this time around. Rockstar created a storyline before the movie takes place, which is 80% of the game. Can this game live up to the movie? Read this review to find out.
Graphics - 7.2
The graphics are one of the few dissapointments in The Warriors, as well as one of the strong points. The character models are less that okay (especially the mouths), and the way they move is a little glitchy. That being said, their are many things that are well done in the graphics department. One of them being the environment. Every single piece of the area you move around in provides an excellent feel to the game, making you seem you're in the New York Ghetto. Another great addition is the tags. For those of you who don't know, tags are a gang's mark, usually made with spraypaint. These were taken from the movie, as well as some new ones from actual Painters.
Sound - 7.9
Most of the music is taken from the movie, but in certain parts in the game, you'll hear more soundtracks from the radio and so forth. Speaking of radios, the radio station host has a great voice, which is close to the movie's. The voice-overs are hard to judge. Some are over-exaggerated terrible, and some are great, but for the most part they're okay. One thing that really can tick a gamer off are the special-effects. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think wood sometimes makes a metallic sound. And lastly, for those who have seen the movie, I've reserved a few sentences for the famous "Warriors, come out to play-ay!" phrase that is hardly known as of now. The voice for Luther (the character who says it) is extremely well done. You have to hear it to believe it.
Gameplay - 9.4
The gameplay is where this game shines and proves to you that graphics don't matter. It's a seasoned brawler with lots of ways to dispatch of your enemy. There's also a River City Ransom-like game you can unlock after completing the story mode of the game. Along with the brawling, you can steal car radios, break into stores, tag over enemy tags, and more. There's barely any words to describe how good the gameplay is, so I'm gonna call it fantastic. Again, Rockstar shines with it's gameplay.
All in all, the game is amazing. The characters are memorable, and this game should be a buy.
