The Warriors, which was offered on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox based on the 1979 cult classic film of Walter Hill proved well worth the effort. Not just a bland remake of the film, the game added in a lot of spice and back story to the situations and characters.
The same ‘Warriors’ has made its way to the PlayStation Portable. This beat em’ up game looks good on the handheld. Storyline and features have been retained from the original and thankfully; there is no extra content addition in a bid to cram in as much as possible.
The game is all about the trials and situations faced by one of the gangs going around in New York, the Warriors. The Warriors PSP version starts just as in the movie where the gang is on their way to meet the enigmatic leader of Gramercy Riffs Cyrus. A grand plan for a unified gang movement is laid down by Cyrus. Just as it looks like he is going to convince everyone, he is shot by a gunman and the crowd scatters with the police on their heels. After this point, the game shifts basically away from the movie.
The well written storyline and script with blunt and curse filled dialogs are quite effective adding to the atmosphere. Most of the game is the beat ‘em up type and as a player you will be indulging in a lot of brawling. Fights are similar with a lot of ground attacks and jumping. Fighting engine is simple but environments are unpredictable adding to the fun and excitement. You will find a host of fighters appearing on the screen all of a sudden making the game very fast paced and hectic.
Instead of just sending groups of bad guys at you to keep fighting, Warriors makes it more interesting by giving players plenty of interesting tasks to break the action. Another interesting feature in this game is the checkpoint save system which is good and eliminates the need to replay long sequences. Level designs are attractive and exciting and sequences are well set offering hours of fun and thrill on your favourite PSP.
