The Warriors is a beat 'em up video game published by Rockstar Games. It was released on October 17, 2005 for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, and February 12, 2007 for PlayStation Portable. The game is based on the 1979 film, The Warriors. The console versions of the game were developed at Rockstar Toronto, while the PSP port was developed by Rockstar Leeds. The game takes place in a gritty 1970s New York City in America and expands to NYC Boroughs. The Warriors focuses largely on gang rumble style action, with the player being assisted by other Warriors at once (minimum of 1, maximum of 8). The player plays as all nine of the main Warriors at different points throughout the game. Levels 1-13 take place three months before the meeting and 14-18 covers the movie itself. The game also includes five bonus levels called "Flashbacks" which creates a back story of the creation of The Warriors.
The first segment of the plot mainly focuses on Cleon the leader of The Warriors owning all of their territory in Coney Island from their arch rivals The Destroyers. The Warriors receiving a "solid" reputation. After a turf war with The Destroyers, The Warriors own all of Coney, following the removal of their enemies.
The second segment of the plot is similar to the 1979 film mainly focuses on the gangs' president being murdered secretly causing the truce to be off. Swan, who is now the leader (or "War Chief") of The Warriors after Cleon's demise, guides his fellow Warriors back to their home turf after they are framed for a murder they didn't commit.
