A unique RTS game with average gameplay and great graphics.

When I first heard about Ancient Wars: Sparta, I was very excited, but I also knew what to expect. Sparta is an RTS game with a unique story and a few neat features (such as the ability to pick up enemy weapons and capture wild horses for your own use), but doesn't set the bar high for the genere.

Graphically, Sparta is beautiful. Amazing water effects and beautiful terrain are offset by sharp shaders and decent character models. The sound leaves some to be desired, but isn't so bad it takes away from the gameplay.

The biggest thing Ancient Wars: Sparta has going against it is the time of release. The game was released very soon after the release of the blockbuster hit, 300. I believe most people who bought this game believed they were buying a game focusing on the battle of the 300 Spartans. This is not the case. You will have heroes such as Leonidas, but this game is not based off of the movie.

Ancient Wars: Sparta is a game that only hardcore fans of the RTS genere will enjoy. If you are used to typical gameplay from Age of Empires or games like Company of Heroes, you probably won't enjoy this game. But if you have played nearly every game in the strategy genere like I have, you will most likely enjoy this game.
