User Rating: 8.1 | Gladius XBOX
Turn-Based games are few and far between. When one does come out, they are most of the time good. Gladius is a great story driven game with lots of characters to choose from over the course of the game. The battle system takes a bit of getting used to, but it isn't difficult. The AI is not stupid and will take full advanage of any mistakes you make on the battlefield. This game has lots of strategy involved in it. So planning your moves and attacks always matter. Characters will die throughout the game. This game gets tougher as you go along. Don't expect to breeze through this game. Any wrong move costs you a character. The graphics are very smooth. The music and sounds are excellent. This game is worth owning if you love turn based games. It takes a long time to finish as there are two main characters to choose from. Each with different stories. One word of warning though, the AI can get cheap sometimes causing controller bashing sickness. :)
