The Warriors game was developed by Rockstar Games for play on the PlayStation and Xbox machines. It was released in 2005, and was actually based on the film of the same name, produced in 1979. The game features large scale brawling, with 3D animations and environments. The action is interspersed with other activities such as a number of car chase sequences.
The action all takes place in a gritty New York City in the 1970s. The story follows a street gang known as The Warriors. They have been accused of a murder that they have not committed, and have to return to their home turf in one night. The action and the game actually begins three months prior to the events that take place in the game. The game was released with a “mature” label, as it does contain violence and strong language.
The game was influenced by Rockstar Games to introduce a substantial element of strong arm tactics into the game. The actors from the movie actually used their voices for the characters in the game. Certainly The Warriors received a positive critical response upon its release.
The Warriors Accent Is On Fighting
The Warriors is classified as an action adventure, with the accent on fighting, as the name suggests. Several minor elements are introduced, such as the ability to use spray paint to mark turf, or to hurl insults at people. The characters are the leader of the Warrior, and his Lieutenant, with the heavy muscular enforcers, together with assorted friends. After the player has completed the main story line of the game, a secondary arcade game called Armies of the Night, makes its appearance.
Most of the action takes place within the Warriors’ headquarters. The gang members train hard, doing press ups, sit ups and heavy bag, hoping to reach a peak of physical fitness. They interact with each other until it is time to leave, either to beat up a member of a rival gang, or to steal a number of items, or even to take part in more complex and creative tasks like entering and winning a graffiti competition. The items they steal are planted on crooked cops or rival gang members, and there are wild chases from baseball bat wielding members of the Baseball Furies.
Fighting is usually a gang rumble style action, with the player being assisted by other members of the Warriors. Fighting combinations are performed with two to three chains for weak attacks, strong attacks and numerous holds and throws. Grab attacks can be used for the character to perform to his own unique power that will put an end to the enemy’s effectiveness. The Warrior fight their way up through the ranks, building a reputation and getting their colours out in force.
Other Options Can Be Played
Eventually all the Warriors get an in vitiation to a meeting of all the gangs of New York City, and this is where the movie actually begins, and the last few missions of the game also begins.
In the game the player can choose to help other people. In return for this help, the Warriors will be awarded new know-how, such as obtaining cuff keys to allow the player to free Warriors with a key instead of breaking the cuffs.
The Warriors has an authentic feel, and immerses the player is the iconic scenes of the film.
