WorthPlaying writes: "Back in 2005, Rockstar Games took a chance and made a video game based on the old cult film, "The Warriors." The game was an adventure/beat-'em-up hybrid that took the license and added more background to the film's story while providing plenty of deep gameplay choices to a genre that seemed to be on its deathbed. It was a gritty title that was fairly polished and a ton of fun to play. Sadly, unless you had an early PS3 like the 60 GB or 20 GB configuration, neither of the newer consoles could play the classic game Rockstar had crafted."
PlayDevil has posted a review of the cult classic game, ported to XBLA, "The Warriors: Street Brawl".
Here's a snip:
"Many people will remember the original cult classic street gang movie "The Warriors" which was released in 1979 however what is surprising is that despite it's popularity it seemed to take an age to get it's first video game conversion with the excellent Rockstar release on the original Xbox and Playstation 2 in 2005."
I absolutely LOVED the Warriors on the Original Xbox (or Ps2), It was one of the most fantastic brawlers I have played to date with an excellent storyline. God if rockstar makes a Remake of it I will be absolutely ECSTATIC! I hope with this game "The Warriors" will gather more attention.
