    Turn-based strategy games are exceedingly rare these days, which makes Gladius, a new game from Lucasarts, all the more appealing. Billed as a “gladiatorial RPG,” Gladius takes traditional turn-based gameplay and puts it... Read Full Review

    This game is so mediocre it drove me to give my first review in Gamespot. This game took me over 100 hours to finish according to the game timer. That probably was 80 hours too long. I mean I love long-winded games bu... Read Full Review

    Gladius is a tactical role-playing game that (for me at least) is infinitely more interesting than any of the Final Fantasy Tactics. The graphics aren't the greatest, but they're very clean and the animations are very s... Read Full Review

    I'm probably the only person to put in a negative review about this game, but there are some glaring flaws I need to put out. When I first started this game, I really enjoyed it. Honestly, I was completely addicted and... Read Full Review

    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 syste... Read Full Review

    I am not a big time RPG gamer. I am just getting into them and so I thought I would give this game a try. I rented it just to be safe. The graphics are nice, not superb, and the game play is good and easy to get a hol... Read Full Review

    Let me just say that I am the kind of RPG player, as I learned from a great friend, who will spend days in some random area of the game just beating up on helpless enemies just to get my main character's strength levels ... Read Full Review
