Summary: 3 Stars
Over all, this isn't a bad game. However, this certainly isn't up to par with the GTA series.
Graphics: Can't hold a candle to Quake4, but it's sufficient. Lip movement is comical, but over all character models aren't bad.
Environment: Lots of interactivity. Throw anything from garbage cans, to bricks, bottles and other assorted debris at your foes.
Fighting: Lots of fun! There are plenty of combos to keep you busy, and never a shortage of foes to pound on.
Camera Single: Over all, not bad. However, it isn't uncommon for the camera angle to be disabled, leaving you with a view many feet away from you. This is commonplace during boss fights, I suppose having trouble seeing is suppose to add to the difficulty? Also, something about running north, but looking south rubs me the wrong way too.
Camera Multiplayer: Perhaps on a wide screen TV this might be better, but 2 player verticle split on a standard leaves you lost and feeling disconnected. This is probably the worst aspect of this game. Your view is limited to about 3x your chars width, so locating the friend your playing with can be rough. Why they don't allow you to disable this is beyond me.
AI: Good in the beginning, moronic by the end. Commonly you'll be fighting 5vs5 and 4 of your guys are on one enemy while the other 4 enemies are on you. Help? They also have a tendency to stand around, or randomly die when they shouldn't be. And no, you can't leave them behind. Time to mug and steal to get $20 to revive them. This also skews the whole "hiding in the shadows" deal because its common that while your in the dark hiding, they'll be bsing and when they finally decide to join you, they bring a load of foes with them.
Over all: Great game and storyline, though fighting gets a bit redundant by the 15th level. Most games I can beat straight through no problems, however, this time I'm going to be taking a break. Variety seems to be absent.
Customer Review: what an experience!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this game the day it came out in October and heard a lot about it from some online forums just before its release. Once i got home and got started, i wasnt much into it. However, this game grows on you..quickly!
You'll realise the amount of depth this game really has; the deep fighting system, the hillarious insults from rival gang members, the huge assortment of weapons and the carnage of it all..very addicting.
The Story mode is the real meat of the game here and is worth definitely more than one playthrough. There is so much variety; from beating down rival gangs for revenge, to raiding territory, to running for your life, there are many hours to be spent in Story.
Heres my score for the individual qualities of The Warriors:
Graphics: 8/10 - Critics dissed the graphics but i say "who cares", theyre average if decent and, infact, are probably for the best due to the lack of slowdown even with massive amounts of action going on at times.
Sound: 9/10 - The FX are perfect, you can just hear the pain and anguish after beating the **** out of someone here, but for music i wouldve liked to hear more punk or metal tunes but what is here is not bad.
Gameplay: 10/10 - The game shines here. There are just so many ways to annihlate an opponent and the nice variety of weapons. Story mode is the backbone of this game, and it has not one dull moment i can think of. Its also very challenging near the end: good learning curve.
Fun Factor: 10/10 - There is nothing more to say, youll be hooked once you learn the complex fighting system.
Overall: 92.5% - Excellent - BUY THIS GAME!
Rockstar games is the biggest developer in the video game industry since Rare, may they continue to dominate with their fresh ideas and brilliant designs!
Customer Review: The Warriors (PS2)
Summary: 5 Stars
The Warriors, the quintessential Hip-Hop flick with no actual Hip-Hop in it, save for a graffiti tagging character named Rembrandt. When word of its getting the video game treatment initially spread, a mixture of excitement and dread hit most aficionados of the classic B-movie. Thankfully, Rockstar Games spared no detail in bringing the The Warriors (Rockstar; PS2) video game to reality, impressively.
Game play is intuitive, especially for the millions no doubt familiar with past Rockstar titles like the assortment of Grand Theft Auto games. Players can choose to wreak havoc in Rumble Mode or play in the linear Story mode. You can also bop your way throughout the game while alternately playing as any of the Warriors; steady leader Swan, the brash Ajax, the doomed Cleon, etc. Although the game can be easily finished in a week's time, if not less, the ability to replay levels and various side adventures maximize the games replay value.
Besides eventually replaying the events of the original flick, the game provides a nice back story to the origins of the Warriors gang and how they earned their rep on the streets of Coney Island. Late 70's slang is thick with horny gang members freely relaying their desires for some new "wool" or calling those unfortunate to be left in their paths "wimps". Side adventures like crossing out rival gang's burners are another nice touch along with vintage images of NYC when it was truly the Rotten Apple.
With its "M" rating this game isn't for the faint of heart (come on, the film was rated R) since what it lacks in gunplay it makes up for in lead pipes, machetes and baseball bats. After 25 plus years, The Warriors, in all its forms, still holds its rep. Come out and play.
