 The Warriors
The Warriors certainly won't do much to quell the perception that companies are bent on beating the beat 'em up genre to death, but it is at least playable and personable--whereas those other games were not.
For most of the game, you play the role of a newbie gang member named "Rembrandt." Much of the story revolves around Rembrandt's induction into The Warriors, and the gang's mission to expand their turf and become high-rollers among the many dozens of gangs populating New York City.
The game does a great job of emulating the look of the movie and duplicating key scenes, but it's much easier to empathize with the characters if you've already seen them brought to life by the original actors.

 The Warriors review for the PS2
In fact, you get the idea that Rockstar could have made a game in which the Warriors were so into Star Wars that they spent all their time in cardboard Stormtrooper outfits and no one but Lucas would have complained.
So the game follows the gang in the three months leading up to the events of the film, then puts players square in the middle of the great dust-up depicted in the movie.
The game is longer than the film, but a dedicated player will still take down the Story mode in a couple of days.

 Oh Yeah Cyrus, I Dig It - The Warriors - The Warriors for PlayStation 2 - Epinions.com
But Rockstar Games has demonstrated a knack for doing things on their own terms – and not so much for the cash-in potential from such a venture, but simply to do things differently than the competition.
When the game and movie do meet, it then lets you relive the events of the movie, with the gang hightailing it back to Coney, all the while fighting off other gangs who are after them for a murder they didn't commit.
The Warriors uses a mission-based structure, with one central hub where you can check your stats, play the mini-games in Rumble Mode (for both single and multiplayer), listen to the radio (like how in the movie you'd get an update from the DJ), do a few exercises to raise endurance, and speak to other Warriors.

 The Warriors On GameVortex.com
The video game versions of the characters are also well done, and aside from a few odd faces, the developers have done a great job at replicating the unique characters from the movie.
Though each of the Warriors was a well developed character, the gangs themselves acted as the protagonists and antagonists of the movie, each having a life of their own.
Other, smaller parts of the game, like spraying gang logos and stealing car radios, are rather simple but add a bit of fun by changing of the tempo of the gameplay.

 Cityzen.tv: Game Review- The Warriors (Rockstar Games)
There is one aspect of gaming that Rockstar excels in more than anyone else: the way they draw us into their world through the use of sounds, atmosphere, and great story-telling.
The thought of playing through the meat of the game with a friend was enticing, but it was an effort in futility, thanks to the abysmal camera system and horizontal split screen, which is often disorienting, especially when scanning the horizon for an objective marker.
Sex is occasionally implied, but is not included as a playable portion of the game (as it is in the GTA games.) Barring any “hot coffee” sex mini-games hidden deep within the game’s code, it’s highly unlikely that any grand controversy is being stirred up over the game’s release.

 Wizards & Warriors for PC video game review and cheats   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The graphics engine is outdated compared to other recent gamesand suffers from several glitches that detract from the gameplay.Underneath the problems lurks a game that, while cheesy in spots, is one ofthe best RPG games I've seen in several years.
One big complaint here: all the characters start unequipped and inkeeping with the teenage-male mentality often associated with RPG games thismeans the female characters start nearly nude (this even extends to the box thegame is shipped in,where the only female pictured on the cover is wearing what looks more likelingerie than useful protective armor).
Despite these issuesit is a good game and I found myself enjoying it more than I expected as itprogressed -- the good classic RPG core of the game manages to overcome theproblems to a large extent.

Graphical wise, the game doesnt look as hot as other beat em ups, however when you consider how many game characters are on screen you will realise they have to sacrafice for this.

The movie from 1979 picked up just as the Warriors were on their way to a huge meeting, held by one of the city's biggest gangs, the Gramercy Riffs, and its enigmatic leader, Cyrus.
All the members of the Warriors are morally bankrupt in one way or another, and though they are the main protagonists and are generally likable guys, they're still street thugs, just like all the other street thugs out there.

 Skeleton Warriors video game for Saturn   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The games begins flat, or basically two dimensional, as opposed to a three dimensional environment that can be freely explored.
This means that the character basically moves across a background that moves from right to left across the game screen, and the gameplay cannot deviate from this very flat plane.
Skeleton Warriors is distinctly arcade in its style, and does appeal to that very young gamer who rarely distinguished between great and mediocre games.

 IGN: The Warriors Preview
In development with Rockstar Toronto, The Warriors is a pure brawler, a beat-'em-up that intends to pay homage to the great arcade games that made the genre famous, Double Dragon and Streets of Rage among others.
While the game content is the same as the PS2, the way in which it's displayed is not.
Second, the game supports Dolby 5.1 surround sound, which means that the music, sound effects, and voice-overs will be clear and crisp.

 GameSpy: The Warriors Review
When Rockstar Games announced that they had obtained the license to make a video game version of the cult classic film "The Warriors," a shiver went down the collective spine of fans everywhere.
During the game's main story missions, you'll get to see how The Warriors built up their street cred enough to get an invite to the gathering of gangs.
While there's no doubt that The Warriors is a brawler (or beat 'em up, or whatever you'd like to call it) at heart, it offers a lot more depth than many of the other games in the genre, both in its combat system and the other elements it brings to the table.

 The Warriors PlayStation 2 review at games xtreme
It always feels that you are doing the things you are doing for a good reason though, you are never left to wander why the Warriors are where they are and why you are doing the missions, in fact the history of the gang can be learned through bonus missions should the player be interested.
The fighting in The Warriors is a strong point of the game and you will engage in a lot of it as you play through, often you will be fighting alongside many members of your gang against large groups of enemies and this is what really sets the fighting off best.
Your surrounding environment plays a big part in the combat in The Warriors, you may pick most of the loose objects around you and then either throw them at the enemy or use them as weapons, sometimes objects will break up into smaller pieces when thrown which can also be picked up and used.
