Shadow of Rome

[Horrorfan]

Anyone else play this?

It's more classic capcom, with a well developed narrative about a roman soldier agrippa, who is taken as a gladiator after his father is accused of murdering julius cesar.

There;s stealth sections as well, but it's a really good game...the fighting is really meaty, and when you unlock the arean modes, its very fun and replayable (basically a fatal roman version of wwe )

A two player arena mode would have kicked ass but aside from that, the game is brilliant.

man, I thought I was the only one who played this around here!

this game gave me a serious ***** in the beggining, when I ripped people's arms off and used them as weapons. f***in great, and definitely in my top 5 favourite games in PS2.

I love it. The fighting is so satisfying and bloody...i love chopping up my opponents, even as they are dead and falling, and a slice takes off an arm or head. and you can use the decapitated limbs as weapons!

I figured more people here would like this though

was it a ps2 exclusive?

dunno. I think so.

loved the chariot races too.
