OMGP: The Warriors

The Obligatory Movie Game Podcast

For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Bart do a deep dive on one of the most beloved movie games of all time. Thanks to its Rockstar pedigree, fans of the “Grand Theft Auto” games knew what to expect with “The Warriors,” but the care that the developers put into everything from the brawler combat to the score, was rare in a movie game. The characters, locales, and conflict from the film all make it into the game, but rather than jumping in right where the movie starts, the game takes its time establishing and expanding upon these elements, before catching up to the events of the film. However, even though the developers earned a lot of praise for their ambitious adaptation, “The Warriors” is a product of its time, and there’s a lot to laugh and cringe at. Can you dig it?!
