Video Game Reviews of The Warriors
Customer Review: Brutal variety
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't seen THE WARRIORS, the movie, yet. But it's waiting in my shelf. Actually, I wanted to finish the game first. I did so just a few days ago.
For those who don't know the story of the movie: a HUUGE meeting with all the gang members of Manhattan goes chaotic when the guy who called for them (charismatic leader of the most respected gang) gets killed by a gun bullet, even though everyone was forbidden to go there weaponed. It seems that everybody loved the guy for some reason, expect for the killer maybe, the one who goes "THE WARRIORS! IT WAS THE WARRIORS!", infecting others with this idea. From then on, they're all trying to get revenge on one of the gangs called "the warriors" who have to find a way to get back to their territory, all the way throught areas stuffed with angry, bloody violant gang members who just want you dead. It's like 8 vs. 60'000.
The game starts way before that point when another guy called Rembrandt is joining the Warriors. Before you get to play the movie section you will learn what kind of conflicts are there between the warriors and some of the gangs, as well as how The Warriors were born. Those sections are called "Flashback missions".
Most important thing you gotta know is, that the movie section is extremly short. There are two huge missions in there though that never seem to end. So while I was looking for a desperate, hopeless-seeming kind of escape/hunt story, it was really tiny in comparison to the whole thing. THE WARRIORS always starts at their hangout, you can, well, hang out there, do some muscle training, and to outside, roam around Warriors-Territory. This feels like a little GTA, but really little. You can do some dealer-missions (helping them or whatever) and stuff, for example to get the ability to carry one more healing drug with you.
Best thing to me was the fact that there's really a lot of variety. It's kinda hard to describe but in comparison to MANHUNT, every mission here feels very different. Even every sub-mission. Ok, sure, there are repetitions, but some gameplay styles you get to play 3 times over the whole course. Some I loved, by the end I thought it's a pity it only happened so two times or whatever. By the end of the game, you can choose the missions and replay them, finish some more secondary missions like spraying the "W" logo wherever you can.
Except for "State of emergency" and "Red dead revolver" I've played every single Rockstar game so far. Manhunt was tough and hard to look at, but I felt more disturbed with THE WARRIORS. Probably because beating up people is done so realistically. When they're KO, they do not just fall to the ground, they crawl some feet during which you can keep kicking them (gaining points). They vomit, spit blood all over the place... watching 8 guys kicking into a guy (or woman!) has some kinda sickengly impressive feeling to it. Feels very realistic, all in all. You can command your people to hide, beat everyone up, destroy everything in sight (gaining points), hold back and wait or spread out. Reactions on your commands are effective, you never feel like they're not doing as told.
Graphics are great, just not THAT beautiful. A bit smaery/oily sometimes. But regarding the amount of people on screen, it never slows down. And hey, it's Rockstar, they like depravity and sick stuff, gritty places and the darker, violant side of humanity.
Description of The Warriors
The Warriors brings you the drama of the cult film. When gang leader Cyrus called a summit for every gang in New York, he askedthem to unite into one massive army -- under his command, they'd be strong enough to take over the city. The gang kids seemed ready to sign up, until Cyrus was shot by a rival. It's pinned on "The Warriors" -- a small-time gang from the edge of the city. Blamed for a murder they didn't commit, The Warriors have to get from the Bronx to their home turf in Coney Island, with every gang in New York chasing them. Help them fight their way through all the gangs they meet -- and get them home in one piece without getting grabbed by the cops.Outlet Games
