User Rating: 8.6 | Shadow of Rome PS2

If this game was simply focused on Agrippa I would have given it a 9.5 or higher but the parts of the gave that deal with Octavian are to put it simply make it the crappiest game ever it like to completely different games in a box. I actually have the game saved at different points so I do not have to play the Octavian sections.
The Agrippa sections are simply spectacular, game play is amazing graphics are great and sound is good. After a long day at work there is nothing like a few rounds in the coliseum to take my mind off things All in all the Agrippa section of the game out weighs the Octavian section making it better then average.
