"euphoria is about giving people an interactive experience they have never seen before.

PSP Review: The Warriors

Finally launching in nearly two years after its initial release on the Playstation 2 and Xbox, The Warriors takes beat 'em up action on the road with Rockstar's recent port. While the port-over brings almost nothing new to the table and measures pound-for-pound with its above average console predecessor, it proves that a PS2 to PSP conversion doesn't always end in disappointment.

Re-releasing at an attractive $20 price tag, the PSP's attempt at housing The Warriors should warrant at least a consideration from those who never played the console releases. Fans of the console versions will notice a handful of nuances thanks to the control scheme change and a small hit to the game's appearance, but, nonetheless, the title fills in the gap of niche genres and further aids the recent surge of quality PSP titles.
