Warriors is based on the 1979 movie of the same name, as a little homage so to speak the game starts in exactly the same way the movie begins, with a Ferris wheel shining in the night sky, and a scene playing out where a gang known as The warriors are on the way to a gang meet.

score that would stay on the right side of melancholy. Having taken pains to elicit convincing results from his actors, director Peter Kosminsky (with whom Debbie Wiseman had previously worked on The Dying Of The Light) knew that semi-tragic would be the correct tone. And once again Wiseman has pulled a rabbit out of one of her many hats. By layering ethnic flutes and voices into her score, she adds an otherworldly distance to the music. It relates to the action in its desired sad tone, while avoiding the emotive familiarity of the strings in, for example, her score for Wilde. Her themes are made the more memorable for being presented in these unpredictable formats: A nasal whine will stay with you longer than (an admittedly lovely) piano solo like "Twelve Hours". There's also a favourably miked percussive set that ripples under many of the cues and adds to the geographical dis-association. This is how all TV music should be in conception and result. --Paul Tonks

Advantages: Enjoyable gameplay Disadvantages: The screen is too dark, and difficult levels become repetitive

Homage over the game takes a similar but slightly different route, the purpose of the game is to beat up and annihilate other gangs, graffiti areas of the city, steal car ... ...but pretty good fun all the same. Initially its very much along the lines of many other similar games the Grand Theft Auto series being a prime example, minus the cars. Once you have got passed this same old, same old style you get to progress to more interesting challenges. As well as each major challenge which you need to complete before moving on to the next level there are a variety of mini challenges, i.e. getting train fare for Rudy to get ...
