Entertaining for a While...
All that said, on to a break down, piece by piece.
Gameplay - Sparta introduces a few unique gameplay elements however nothing groundbreaking. Some of the better ones are...collecting shields and weapons from the fallen to arm your EXPENSIVE army.
Graphics - Well below par for today’s games however not unbearable. Clips every now and then, map sizes can be pretty large however the zoom level is still very tight. It's manageable but a little annoying.
Sound - Well...as far as sound goes in "not major" games, this one is on par, pretty bad voice acting, music you wont even listen to, and sound effects that are just rehashes of other games.
Value -
There may be some value in the multiplayer aspect, however i personally didn't even make it that far, as the game wore on me in about a day.
Final words:
This is a very particular type of RTS, if you like the model that it presents and don't mind dealing with a few, less than appealing, game facets, this may be your cup of tea.
