Review of The Warriors

The Warriors (2005 Video Game)
Happy 25th Anniversary, Warriors! (And not a moment too soon!)
3 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Everything I've read about this game (I don't actually have a PS2--yet) convinces me that they should have gotten it on MUCH sooner. If only Rockstar could have gotten the rest of the original cast--Tom "Cowboy" McKittrick, Brian "Snow" Tyler and Terry "Vermin" Michos--to work on their game! (I disqualify Marcelino "Rembrandt" Sanchez because his life was taken by cancer in 1986; he was 29.) I'm sorry there weren't (or at least didn't seem to be) more WARRIORS reunions in the eighties and nineties, even if it was just on some game show like FAMILY FEUD or THE 50,000 PYRAMID. Say, how about DOG EAT DOG or FEAR FACTOR!? Just maybe...

My only regret is that you can't alter the movie's "outcome" through this game...specifically, that you can't let Cleon, Fox and/or Ajax make it all the way back to Coney. All they do is show "cinematics" of the same three misfortunes. If only the player could do *something* about all that, after 25 years! Even putting in an "Oompah-Loompah" song would have helped. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, just go out and catch WILLIE WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY.)
