Shadow of Rome

Great combination of stealth and action...

User Rating: 8.9 | Shadow of Rome PS2

By el_diablo | Review Date: February 9, 2005

Shadow of Rome successfully combines action gameplay with stealth gameplay as you control one of the two protagonists in the game. Each of the two main characters has different gameplay, Agrippa is all about blood and action, while Octavianus is all about stealth. With the help of his friend (Octavianus), Agrippa sets out to become a gladiator in order to prove his father's innocence. During gladiatorial fights, Agrippa must take on multiple enemies. You can amputate enemies hands, limbs and then use their limbs to beat them up. The violence in the game will quench all bloodthirsty gamers, while the stealth part of the game will satisfy fans of games such as splinter cell and MGS. Over all the game is definitely worth buying, or at least renting.
