Shadow of Rome

Lived up to my expectations

User Rating: 8.8 | Shadow of Rome PS2

This game was awesome, shadow of rome had everything. From chariot racing to rescue missions. It even had giant deathmatches (personally my favourite). Shadow of rome is exactly what I pictured to become of a gladiator game. It was surprising that it even had another side to it, octavionus' story I mean. I think the game was great, Capcom handled well and they pulled it off, a gladiator-spy game was created. There are two sides to this game, throughout the story it switches between two characters. On one side we have a puffed-up big shot gladiator wich you can hack loose with. And the other character is Octavianus wich is good in spying and sneeking around.

Shadow of rome deserves much glory and is highly recommended!
