Product Description

Gladiator: Sword Of Vengeance takes you back in time, to the ancient days of Rome -- here, you'll be chosen by the Gods to restore the glory of the Empire. It is 106AD, and the Roman Empire is in terrible decline. Emperor Arruntius has brought once-powerful Rome to its knees; badly fought wars, famine and plague are part of daily life now. To keep the citizens' mind off their misery, Arruntius plans the most elaborate bloodsports ever witnessed. You'll begin here as a slave, fighting in the gladiator pits -- where you'll start a revolution and challenge the Emperor himself.

The PS2 version might have been "playable", but the PC version of this sorry excuse of a game is awful. The controls suck...the graphics are terrible unless you have a $300 graphics card, and the overall gameplay is boring, slow and absolutely mind numbingly stupid!

This computer game was a great buy, mostly because of its combat system and the breathtaking lighting effects. Contrary to what the other reviews say, you do not need a "300 dollar graphics card" to run this game beautifully. In fact, I played this game on max settings with a 60 dollar graphics card. However, one thing that was irritating was the fact the there were so many loading bars within the game. This is only a minor thorn in a truly breathtaking game that sports some of the most fun combat moves and nicely done graphics. Overall, I give it an 84/100.
