CNET has a review of the The Warriors and rated it 8.1/10;
“Barry De Vorzon’s original score is fully intact here, as are many of the licensed tracks from the original soundtrack, including songs from artists like Joe Walsh, Fear, and Arnold McCuller. All the songs are most definitely of the ’70s, helping to give the game that pulpy, retro vibe that it so clearly seeks. The Warriors also boasts some excellent sound effects. Every hit is delivered with a high level of ferocity, and you feel each and every one of them. As things get hectic and start breaking apart all over the place, the din of battle can get pretty deafening. It’s just excellent audio work all around, and it really increases the intensity of battle by quite a margin.”

IGN has a review of the The Warriors and rated it 8.2/10;
“A good 80% of the game has its own original plot that takes place well before the movie on which it’s based. How did a small-time gang from East Coney rise to power and get in the position of being framed for an assassination in the first place? How did Cleon and Vermin come to found the Warriors? When did Cyrus hatch his plan to create a 60,000 soldier inner-city army? The answer to all these questions and more are all taken care of before the final credits roll, and while it’s not necessarily award-winning stuff, it’s told pretty well.”

1up has a preview of the The Warriors and rated it 8.2/10;
“One enjoyable feature on PS2 was the multiplayer. The Warriors on PSP supports ad-hoc wireless play for co-op action, and since you each have your own PSP screen, you don’t have to deal with splitscreen like you did on the PS2 version…It’s a shame that the game doesn’t pull off any sort of online play, because co-op Warriors is one of the best experiences from the PlayStation 2 generation (which admittedly, also wasn’t online) and it would have been a nice addition to the portable version.”
