    This is a GameCube Top 10 must have game.......

    By far one of the best RPG's made…..Game play was interesting and very playable. When it comes to a Roman based game, this is a must have. You play the game as a Roman and also a separate campaign as a Barbarian. The onl... Read Full Review

    GOOD!

    The game is great, because there are dozens of kinds of gladiators for you school, all different with different skills. To show all these classes there are four regions: Imperia (Rome-ish), Nordagh (Barbarians), Windward... Read Full Review

    an addictive, surprisingly varied, involving game for veterans and novices of the genre alike.

    I'm not much of a strategist and I've never completed a full-blown RPG like the Final Fantasy games. Those facts are discouraging yet didn't keep me from purchasing this game. And, with a detailed tutorial-like intro to ... Read Full Review

    A great game that no one knows about

    If you're looking for a solid RPG on the PS2, then be sure to check out this game. The unique battle system that mimics a chess board may seem slow and dull, but becomes very fun very fast. Rather than running around m... Read Full Review

    Too ambitious, fails at what an RPG should accomplish, has average gameplay but the game is on a epic scale.

    Gladius is a RPG game which has you in control of two possible characters and you have to travel around the varied game world engaging in fights with wild life and offcourse gladiators. You set up your own school of gla... Read Full Review

    Great turn-based strategic combat with loads of character and surprisingly deep gameplay.

    For fans of turn-based combat, Gladius has a lot to offer: Dozens of playable characters, nice diversity among the classes, a deep system of skills and abilities, and a bewildering array of gear with which to wreak bloo... Read Full Review

    a shock

    I picked this up on sale after reading over the box and thinking it may be OK. Put it in the PS2 when I got home and played it for about an hour. I then put it back in the box and back on the shelf. It took me about 2 mo... Read Full Review

    Good for a lazy afternoon

    My fiance and I wanted a game on Xbox that we could play together. Neither of us are very good at FPS or anything, but we love RPGs, especially turn based. We were pretty let down by this one. We both come from differen... Read Full Review

    The best out there right now.

    I absolutely love TBSs and had been seeking a really good one for the PS2 for a while. I'd seen the reviews for this game for a while and for some reason didn't think I would enjoy it. Don't ask me why cause I have no cl... Read Full Review
