User Rating: 9 | Shadow of Rome PS2
Shadow of Rome represence one great twist between the superiors and the low classes soldiers
Rome, the year is 44 B.C. Julies Caesar was killed by unkown assassins.After some hours the one who was judged for killer was Agrippa (your hero) father.After some time you join in the gladiatoric games.The prize is - the man who win this games will execute the killer of Caesar.And this is the start of one very nasty and bloody game.
The gameplay represence two parts.The first you control Agrippa - a mighty and proud warrior.He is the main character.With him you fight in the arenas.The second part of the gameplay is the stealth part.In this part you control Octavian Augustus.
When you control Agrippa you can enter in a different type of gladiatoric arena-to kill animals,team battle,free for all,chariot races and some others.In the animal battles you can meet a three types of beasts - lions,vultures with can attack you with stones or claws and bills and elephants.The lions are fast and hardinesses and the elephant are slow,but very strong.In the team battle you must destroy all of the enemy statues.For me this one is the most harder type of the arenas,because the weakness of your team.Free for all is my special and the most nasty.Everyone fight everyone.This is the best part of the game.Chariot races are hard too.In this races you must kill the other opponents or finish first.The other types are hard too.In one you must obtain a wooden sword,in the other to kill a big amount of enemies and etc.
It have a good choose of weapons - bow,mace,knife,scimitar,gladius,flair,shield and their improved versions.One of the coolest part of the game is the salvo bonuses.When you make a special move it give you a salvo points.In this time you can roar to the public and double this bonus.It have a great varriety of moves.When you make enough salvo,you can obtained three great weapons - Magnus (this is a veryyyy big great sword),one big mace and halberd.Sometimes you obtained roses or food to recovery your hp.If you obtained a certain number of salvos or finish the side quests arenas you can obtained a new armors for your hero.The weapons in the game can broke in time.This make the game more interesting.
The boss battles of the game are hard and take some time.Every boss have him own abilites and tactic for kill.They are hard,have many health bars and some great weapons.
The stealth part in the game are the most harder thing in the game.Your hero dies in one hit.You can draw off your opponents,hit them with jugs or choke with rope.When you send the enemy to sleep you can search them for money,keys or to change clothing.With this money you can buy a new items for your room,a new hair styles and etc.
This is my review for this game for Rome.
