great party game with multiplayer, but is it worth it for the single player?, is it 'eck.
gameplay wise its not simply hold onto the eccelerator you are using horses so you need to pace them, as well as using the conbat controls to fight off attacking oponents.
overall the controls are easy to learn and well balanced too
however you can really find out how good your freinds are as its pretty easy to play dirty in this game rather than play fair.
graphics arent bad, a little better than ps2 standard but nothing spectacular, they look the part and its a racer so do you expect far cry level graphics?
sound wise its pretty cool ,proper gladiatoral music youd here in like ben hur or something and it really adds to the competitive vibe in multiplayer and makes for a much more enjoyable experience.
value wise, the is no incentive to play more than one race in multiplayer but its a good thing to get out when youve got relatives round.
overall its nothing special but compared with all the linear racers out there its unique and its not bad.
i think you may like it.
