8.6
The Good
Satisfying, smart combat that can be enjoyably unpredictable; Environments bust up real good; Stretches out a two-hour movie into a well-written, entertaining 12-hour game; Many of the original actors reprise their roles, and the soundtrack and audio are excellent; Plenty of extra modes, including unlockable games and co-op multiplayer;
The Bad
Core graphics aren't very attractive; Co-op play isn't exactly remarkable, just serviceable; A few extremely frustrating sequences;
With its unrelenting obsession with nailing the details of the film's universe, its quality action, and its breadth of content, The Warriors is easily one of the better pure-action games to come out this year. It's a game that clearly goes out of its way to do more than just rehash a previously told story, as many games based on films tend to do. Again, though, this is not a game in which you have to have seen the original movie to understand and enjoy it; but if anything, it'll make you want to go out of your way to see the movie, just to see how it plays out and compares to the game experience. And in the end, isn't that what all games based on movies try to do in the first place? If you've got a thing for mature-themed action games, The Warriors is well worth your while.
