--------------------------------------------

The Warriors is a beat 'em up video game, developed by Rockstar Toronto and published by Rockstar Games. It was released on October 17, 2005 for PlayStation 2, Xbox and was later released for PlayStation Portable. The Warriors is based on the 1979 movie of the same name (which in turn, is based on the 1965 novel of the same name), and features large scale brawling in 3D environments interspersed with other activities such as chase sequences.[1]

The console versions of the game were developed at Rockstar Toronto, while the PSP port was developed by Rockstar Leeds. The game was first released on PS2 and Xbox on October 17, 2005 in the United States and October 21, 2005 in Europe. The original Xbox version featured 720p resolution; marking the first Rockstar game with HD graphics for home consoles. The game was then released on the PlayStation 3 on May 28, 2013 in the United States and May 29, 2013 in Europe via the PlayStation Network.[2] The game was released on the PlayStation 4 on July 5, 2016 in the United States and Europe via the PlayStation Network.[3] However, due to licensing restrictions, as of 2016 several songs on the soundtrack have been removed from both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 versions of The Warriors, including Fear's "I Love Livin' in the City, and Joe Walsh's "In the City" from the original film's soundtrack.

The game takes place in gritty 1970s New York City. The story follows a street gang known as the Warriors, who have been accused of a murder they didn't commit, and must return to their home turf in one night, although the game begins three months prior to the film's events. The actors from the film itself reprised their roles to perform the voices of their original characters.[4] Upon its release, The Warriors received a positive critical response.
During The Warriors, there are a collection of levels, referred to as missions, which the player must progress through. Eighteen can be accessed, along with six more bonus missions, known as "Flashbacks", which show how the Warriors were formed, and how each member of the Warriors came to join the gang,[11] and to unlock an arcade machine that will allow you to play Armies of the Night.[6][9] The setting in the game for the Warriors is their home territory, Coney Island. However, throughout the game, the player travels to other areas of New York City visiting other gangs' territories in the process. Completing the missions/game allows the player to replay levels, to improve on the player's score, and unlock new characters, and a game mode called Fury Mode where you play as the Baseball Furies.[9][12]

The design and casting of the characters was very faithful to what was seen in The Warriors. Each character is still portrayed as their respective role from the film ― Cyrus, the Riffs leader, inhabits Van Cortlandt Park, where the meeting took place. Luther, the Rogues leader, is based out of his hearse, The Baseball Furies' territory is Riverside Park, The Lizzies' their apartment, with other smaller gangs based around the city. When starting a mission, the Warriors will occasionally stay at their home turf or travel to another place via train to use as a starting point.[13]

Missions and events normally begin at the Coney Island headquarters, which is also used as a launching point throughout the game (except after the meeting), and the player can also travel to places all across New York City, including Tremont where the Warriors encounters the Orphans, a low-class gang, and also Riverside Park which is run by the Baseball Furies, a well-respected gang. The main players travel from one turf to another all across New York, to let the public radio station know there is a new gang in town.[11] This sometimes results in the Warriors brawling with the rival gangs.[13] The Warriors' hangout features a machine resembling a pinball table, the "Rumble Mode" which upon completion of missions, unlocks special stages where the player can fight all of the gangs in New York City.[14]
