Top The Warriors

This is the best movie license video game of all time! I know that it’s much better than GoldenEye on the N64 and even the movie that it’s based on! In fact, this Rockstar title is more recognized than even the historically controversial movie. It made all of the characters feel fleshed out and the game given us a huge backstory of the Warriors and all the gang wars they had to endure to remain the top of their turf. This is one of those rare times where it’s important to see the movie before playing the game. The game makes much more sense and with the back story Rockstar gives the Warriors gang in the game, you appreciate the movie that much more. As a top-notch revision of the old-school “beat-’em ups” the Warriors are definitely able to throw down successfully both as part of a team and when going solo. But just because you can fight back doesn’t mean you have to. Much like Manhunt, stealth plays a vital role in your success. Sometimes the odds become overwhelming for your gang meaning hightailing it is not only the wise option, it is the only one. Stealth allows the Warriors to get the drop on scouts and pass them undetected instead of always fighting through hordes of enemies. Like the Grand Theft Auto series, Rockstar marvelously portrays New York City in 1979 — a rough place that swallowed you if you weren’t paying attention, not the tourist-friendly place we hear about today as well as a great soundtrack featuring songs from the movie as well as other great tracks from the period. The only real “downside” of the game is the limited open-endedness. Unlike Grand Theft Auto games there are limits to where and when you can visit certain locations and once the movie ends, the game ends. It would have been nice to see what happened to the Warriors after their hellish This is the best movie license video game of all time!
