Lucas Arts finally makes a good non Star Wars game
The game “Gladius” takes its name from a popular gladiatorial sword known as a gladius. (bet you couldn’t guess that) You get to choose one of two paths in the beginning, the story of Ursula or the story of Valens. The ... Read Full Review

Can someone say plain?
In an attempt to create an epic RPG, LucasArts has brought about one of the most boring Gladiator games to date. To be fair, I love RPG's, and this one is just not good. The leveling up takes an eternity, the cutscenes a... Read Full Review

The best strategy/RPG for the Xbox.
One of my all-time favorite games is Final Fantasy Tactics. I love turn-based RPG/strategy games. I always have. So, when I heard that Gladius was coming out, I was very excited. Let me tell you, the final product do... Read Full Review

Holy jumping jehosa beans! Xbox may lack a lot of quality RPGs, but for someone like myself who enjoyed FFT:A, this is as close as I will probably ever get to a game like that on XBox. Granted that the gameplay is slow... Read Full Review

Rental turned to purchase!
I rented this game. I like it so much that I bought it. It has a nice mix of adventure, RPG, and strategy (combat is almost "chess like."). Story is excellent. Character's are very interesting. The Sound/Music is spellbi... Read Full Review

The Perfect RPG/Strategy Hybrid Rolled in one highly enjoyable package
This is a very welcome change of pace from the Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea. Gladius is an excellent start to anyone who needed a starting point in the strategy game market but also leaves much for the seasoned game... Read Full Review

An innovative strategy RPG with great animation, timing focused turn based combat, and deep character customization.
Gladius is a rare beast. Although its story can be a bit campy at times, and moving through the game world and the various menus in towns can be confusing, the flow of the game is just about right. Your characters progre... Read Full Review

Once you get into it. It serves as a good adventure.
Gladius is a pretty solid game. All elements mentioned. The game play is solid and you can really crack up hours playing this one. Lucas Arts is known for its epic day titles such as the Star Wars saga and so forth. It’s... Read Full Review

Gladius is a sure-fire winner. It's nothing ground-breaking, but it scores big on what it aims for: great gameplay.
I have a lot of respect for LucasArts. I always have. They are one of the grandaddies of modern gaming, according to my perspective. I've once said of LucasArts that they make only good games and Star Wars games and, whi... Read Full Review

The Demo is actually better than the game.
Gladius offers something you can find almost nowhere else on the X-box, -a party level RPG with tactical, turn-based combat. You will spend the majority of your time in the game’s various arenas, fighting the good fight.... Read Full Review
