And don't anguish if names like Rembrandt and Cochise complete foreign; the cine is the complete accomplishments for a beat-em-up, and the game's so affectionate to this '70s becloud (dead-on cutscenes, able voiceovers) that it'll argue newcomers to hire the DVD. Also, The Warriors doesn't abatement victim to the archetypal casting blunders: The missions never feel repetitive (running-and fighting-for your activity at the end is in actuality the adrenaline rush); you'll rarely be bombarded with too abounding enemies, acceptation few cheap-ass deaths; and the bold packs a affable affronted arrangement that's gruesomely rewarding. G. Ford nailed my gripes with the game, but none of them should stop you from advancing out to play. Read the abounding The Warriors 0 The Warriors You can dig it.
