The Warriors (2005)

The warriors is a fighting slash action game published by Rockstar Games. It was released in Playstation 2 and Xbox on 2005.This game is based on a classical movie launched in 1976, which has almost similar story, but the game has the ability to be a stand-alone, which means players don’t have to see the movie to understand this game. The warriors is a unique brawler game that took place in 1970’s New York City era, specifically in Coney Island, the story is what makes this game stand out from the others. The story of this game is about a street gang called The Warriors, they were accused to killing a city gang leader named Cirus, therefore the warriors must return to their home, which is some kind of a base or headquarter, where every warriors can rendezvous and play games. During the journey, they will have to fight other gang members that are trying to kill them, robbing people for supplies they need to have, surviving from the police, recruiting new team members, and a lot more challenges. The game doesn’t end there, there are also some side missions in which they tried to  convince other gangs that they wasn’t the killer, and they also had to find the real murderer in which they finally found it.

Talking about action, gameplay and experience, this game has it all at its best. In this game, players can choose between the characters in the game, which has their own abilities, the gang is consist of 5 gang members. Players can jump obstacles, sneak, use Molotov, distract enemies, brawl, steal stores, mock people, spray graffities, kick people, smash windows, and a lot more weapons that they can use to protect such as baseball bat, knife, and others. Gameplay elements are mixed into the experience, such as the ability to use spray paint to mark turf or to insult other people. The Warriors' headquarters serves as a hub. From inside, you can train members, doing sit ups, pushups and others to increase the stamina, you can also fight with each other or fight with enemies on a mini game inside there. Completing these actions earn the player points, which count towards unlocking soldiers, arenas and game modes for Rumble Mode, and the game's free-for-all multiplayer mode. The experience that I gain from this game comes from the gameplay and storyline in which you have to survive and discover the real murderer, I felt anger, pride, joy, excitement, sadness, revenge, curiosity, cooperativeness or care, communication, and collecting. This game has the aspects that not most of the game has, I felt connected and aroused, the only problem I see in this game is the lack of features, they could add more challenges, more side missions, tagging challenges, but those are nothing compared to the gameplay and story of this game. Overall this game is one of my favorite and it will always be.
