Shadow Of Rome is a very good game to be honest. Highly enjoyable if you like ring fighting. Also includes stealth and strategy element in the way you fight deciding which attack is the best option. Borrows from onimusha style combat and even 3's graphics engine. Excellent visuals, big bright and bold. Great combat fighting system that never bore with you decapitating enemies heads and there waists off in one clean swile or blow. Many weapons to play with including a bow and arrow. Even sport some new clothing to help protect you against fatal blows and also equip shields. Everything you use in battle has its own strenght so constant weapon swaping is advised. You also kill large beasts in the ring uch as tigers and even elephants !. The boses are fab, stealth bits change the flow of the gameplay for added variety while not the strongest part of the game. Great movies to boot as well. A very well developed game from CAPCOM.
