I finished this game a while ago and would like to say that it's probably one of the best movie adaptations I've ever played. It's fun and very faithful to the 1979 movie, and somehow addictive, and the multiplayer sucks and rocks at the same time.
The voice acting is great. They took the trouble to find all the original actors from the movie to record their own voices, some of them aren't even actors anymore, and I've heard one of them just disappeared (so he's not playing himself in the game, but it's still a good voice). Plus, they made not only the movie story, but also stuff from 3 months before until the movie begins, actually, the movie is only 1/3 of the game.
Then I played Sonic Riders and it felt like someone was f***ing my ear. I hate those cartoon voices.

I've never seen the film, but I'd really like to play The Warriors anyway. The reason for this is two of my favorite hip-hop personalities, Aesop Rock and El-P, provide voices for characters in the game. El-P actually plays one of the gang leaders, while Aes has a smaller cameo role.
Of course, that alone didn't really justify playing the game, but now that I've read a firthand opinion I may look into it.

I still say as far as current generation old school style beat-'em-ups go, Spikeout Battle Street has no equal. It's as close to Streets of Rage 3D as we've gotten. The character designs are so similar, with a few renames it could have been considered one. The gameplay also feels similar (punch-punch-grapple-punch-punch-jump-throw, anyone?) , although less refined due to slightly lethargic feeling controls.
