Wow, the graphics are glowing. The blood effects are wonderful. I thought Manhunt was shocking, but this game is like... 3 times more violent.

This game is like the history of Rome. Fighting not for our country, but for the entertainment of the crowd of bloodthirsty Romans. Savages!

Playing the game is lots of fun. Charging up our attacks to make them devastating and gory. Playing as Octavianus (nephew of Julius Caesar) isn't as fun as playing with Agrippa (the gladiator). It isn't as gory, and with Octavianus, you need to do some serious thinking, which could get a bit frustrating, but when you finish that, you'd feel proud that you've accomplished that goal, and you go straight to the gory parts of the game with Agrippa. Yeeeeaaaah!

Shadow of Rome is a game, not history class. It is meant for gaming pleasure. Play it, it won't let you down.
