I love this game, I love the movie. I've played it so many times, it's a shame it has graphical issues on PS5.

This game should be remastered

Fun as hell game, loved the co-op.

Um dos melhores não-GTAs da Rockstar.

O melhor jogo baseado em filme, adiciona uma profundidade grande aos personagens e gangues que você não sabia que faltava ao ver o filme.

Pode ficar meio repetitivo, mas o combate é muito satisfatório, uma evolução do combate feito pro Bully

The movie was a mid experience for me. I certainly didn't hate it, but it's not something special in this day and age.

So my expectations were low but i wanted to give it a try because of the respect that i have for Rockstar Games. And I liked it pretty much. Combat mechanics are still good and enjoyable. They got the esthetics of the movie so well. The atmosphere is well made.

And it's sort of like a prequel too, that was a surprise for me aswell and the way they expand the story is so awesome. It's not like the best story but i enjoyed following it you know. Levels have their variety, objectives are fun to do (it's fun when you go to store and wreck everything for money lol) And boss fights were surprisingly fun too. Rockstar should bring boss fights again to their games!

Things that i don't liked:

Cops in this game is just a pain in the ass. The're always try to cuffs you and its so annoying bc it's almost only thing they do! And this prevents you from completing the objectives you have. Stealth is unnecessary and not well used in this game too.

And for the last thing: Like i said this game is a half prequel and when prequel parts is well and long the last quarter of the game is just too rushy. It's like a summary of the movie in one hour.

This game is a passion game for sure. Developers really wanted to make a Warriors game and they did. If i played this game at the time i would be blown away. But i am happy to tried it out in 2024.

Lastly: My suggestion is definitely watch the movie before you play it!

Thank you if you read all this dude. I don't know why i wrote that long...


Quite possibly Rockstar's most underrated game in my opinion (besides L.A. Noire). The Warriors is a beat em' up based on the movie of the same name. The movie was a cult classic, based around the story of a gang who gets accused of shooting the leader of the biggest gang in the city, and are then hunted while trying their best to make it home to Coney Island.

It feels like such a random film to warrant a game, but Rockstar did it anyway, and in many ways, eclipsed the film. These characters from the movie that we barely know are given time to develop, so their ultimate fates and arcs are actually interesting. Being a beat em' up is the perfect idea, with satisfying bloody action being commonplace throughout this game's storyline. The game is set prior to the movie at first, giving everyone time to develop, before inevitably going through the events of the movie itself. Flashback missions delve into the backgrounds of the gang's core members even further, while free roaming around Coney Island adds extra hours of content and enjoyability to the game. The Arcade mode is a fun time too, letting players play as the different gangs that appear across the game, unlock characters for the mode, and even make their own gang to use in the Arcade modes as well. And if you like side-scrolling beat em' ups, there's a little bonus unlockable mode you'll probably love as well.

I wish The Warriors got ported to modern consoles besides the PS4, because it really is something special and unique from Rockstar's catalog. I also worry that the licensed music could expire one day, but I suppose it hasn't for GTA, so this game should be safe from delistings. Regardless, give it a shot some time if you like beat em' ups.

Score: 85
