The Warriors

Developed in conjunction with RockStar Toronto, this title is "based on the 1979 cult classic Paramount Pictures film The Warriors and expands the stylized cinematic journey of the film into a gritty, interactive experience set in 1970’s New York City".

Rockstar's recent port follows the story of a New York gang of the same name that star in the 1970s cult classic film. The game starts akin to the movie with a meeting of all the gangs in the city, gathered by the Riff's leader, Cyrus. He points out to a unified gang front, that the attendees of the meeting far outnumber the city's police front and the city is theirs for the taking. However, during Cyrus' rallying, a concealed gunman opens fire and takes him down for the count.

Unfortunately for The Warriors, in the chaos that ensues, the deadly deed is blamed on them and the quest for redemption begins - at least in the movie. The best thing Rockstar did for the scripting and story telling of The Warriors is through the decision to not just re-tell the story, but also expand it. Following the cinematic event of the rally, the game actually rewinds time in order to explain the formation of The Warriors and detail its rapid rise in street cred.

Players will actually be able to control a variety of characters who not only feature their own fighting styles and moves but also strengths and weaknesses in tasks such as lock picking, spray painting and other illegal activities. Much like a player would expect out of a Rockstar title, breaking the law is the way of survival in The Warriors, requiring thefts of car stereos, muggings and breaking and looting in order to scrape up the cash needed to purchase goods.
