This is a blast! Reminds me of Manhunt. The dark late 70's sci fi thriller music makes it really dark. The graphics and action are slick quick and brutal! I can't believe the quality of the animation, action, audio, and graphics.

This game really sucks you in, just like the Grand Theft Auto series. Based on a cult movie from the late 70's, its a fun odyssey. Its pretty much "Gang Theft Brawler: NYC Stories". Its really violent and fun, with all kinds of savage street weapons, run ins with the cops, burglary, muggings, beatdowns, and 70's blaxploitation lingo.

Managing your gang in realtime, with nicely primitive gang function commands (mayhem, wreck'em, let's go, watch my back, hold up, etc.) gives it some strategy flare, and makes it more like an RPG, or less redundant, anyway.

I like the fact that this has a 2 player option; perfect! Especially since the movie inspired the Double Dragon video game.
This game really immerses you in a real city: New York, NY and surrounding urban areas. I've never been to NYC, but I know a lot of the geography is used in this game.

The plot is decent, since it fills in blanks around the movie script.
This game may get redundent, but we'll see. The movie was about how the Warriors (your gang) traverse the city, full of other equally weird looking and brutal gangs that are hunting your gang, for good reason.
The soundtrack includes "I Love Livin In The City" by none other than Fear. It just spells every reason I'll never live in the suburbs.

Can you dig it?

The video game is impressive in its simplicity. You don't need maps and guides to get through the levels, but it will keep you entertained with plenty of action and details.

The story plot carries well and the controls compliment the graphics. I would definitely not recommend this for kids. The language is way too crude and while true it's only a video game, it is still glorifying street crime, graffiti, and violence. I'm not jumping on a moral high horse, but I would not give this game to a child.

I saw this movie in 1979 (I was not yet 16 but still got in to see it). It was the height of "toughness" in that era, especially if like me, you lived in an urban neighborhood where everyone thought they were bad a**es. The game so far takes you through the same perils that faced the characters of the movie. It's impressive that Rock Star games was able to re-capture the momentum of The Warriors and pack it all into a hand held.

Turn the volume down or use headphones where you're on a plane or other public place (due to the foul language). I play the PSP on my long commutes to work or flying on business trips and you have to be aware of your surroundings when the audio is on.

I love this game. It is exactly like the original on Xbox. Must have for the price.

If you're looking for something of a mix between GTA, and Manhunt, you're looking at the right game! Wonderful game play with many hours of play, although it can be a little repetitive. You can have a second player combine forces in co-op and also battle you in multiplayer. You can smash up the entire environment, as well as use basically anything as a weapon. Steal radios from cars, rob stores, and wreck police officers; whatever it takes to prove The Warriors are not to messed with.

I bought a psp through craigslist, and it came with four games including; The Warriors, GTA-LCS, Socom 2, and Rainbow six vegas, when i got it I played every game except The Warriors because I thought it was going to be some stupid MK like game. But when I got around to playing it I was addicted, I haven't played any game since!! Buy it you won't regret it. The story mode is awesome!!

If you like beat'em up type of games this is the right product for you. I played it mostly commuting and since I live in NY and the game's scenario is based in here as well, it made it even more enjoyable for me. The game play is pretty solid and complex. Sometimes it is really challenging, although in general you can finish the game pretty fast. The graphic is good (maybe sometimes a little too dark) - sound is terrific - it is like watching the movie. I would highly recommend this one especially for the people who loved the old Double Dragon as well as for the GTA fans.

I loved the game. This is a very fun (yet very violent) game that cannot be missed. Anyone who has a psp should get this game! The best <3

THIS GAME PULLS YOU IN FROM THE START. LOTS OF REPLAY VALUE. THE MUSIC SETS THE MOOD FOR SURE. NOT A GAME FOR THE PRE-TEEN AND CAN BE PRETTY GRAPHIC WITH THE ACTION PACKED FIGHTS. A TRIBUTE TO THE MOVIE AND THE 70'S FOR SURE. THUMBS UP FROM ME. SIDE NOTE: USE HEAD PHONES ON PSP. IT ENHANCES LOTS OF GAMES.

My son watched the movie and now has the game. He plays it all the time on his PSP.

If you are familar with the Rockstar games, then you know what to expect from this one - lots of action, good controls, entertaining graphics, interesting storyline, and vulgar dialogue. It follows the original movie fairly closely. There are lots of levels that are replayable and a few minigames. My only complaint is that there is almost too much fighting. It gets repetative eventhough you can use various objects as weapons. I would have liked to seen some different activities. But overall, a great game that puts you inside the movie.
