The Warriors Creeps Onto PSN as PS2 Classic

Rockstar’s brilliant homage to cult classic film The Warriors brawls its way onto the PS4 today. The game is available for £11.99 and features support for trophies, remote play, activity feeds, second screen support, and has been up-rendered to 1080p.

This is a gem that has been missing from the PS2 classics range for too long, especially since the likes of the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy and Manhunt have already made their way on there. The game was a wonderful cross-up of the likes of Streets of Rage and Grand Theft Auto. I currently stands as the best movie game of all time – though admittedly Rockstar cheated somewhat and had about 25 years of hindsight along with a lengthy development time but, you know.

It’s a move that highlights a couple of things about the PS2 classics range so far: if done well, which so far it has been, then it’s an excellent service that breathes new life into the PS4 and the Vita, but it also doesn’t have enough games. This is no doubt down to licensing. The Grand Theft Auto Trilogy is a difficult purchase given that the radio stations have had songs removed because the licences have expired. Still, as long as more and more games come in drips and drabs then we can dig it.
