This review is from: Gladiators: Galactic Circus Games (CD-ROM)

I'm not a video game critic, but this is a pretty fun game, despite its age and the fact that it isn't very well-known. Its a gladiator-like game with familiar RTS elements, and I was surprised with the difficulty and combat mechanics.

Not perfect, but worth a shot.

This review is from: Gladiators: Galactic Circus Games (CD-ROM)

this game is very cool. the starting movie is very strange
and does not use the same graphics as in the game so it lets you have doubts.
the game on the other hand is sweet you see your men fireing
away at the huge aliens. Its very fun to watch.
It has very simple controls for a RTS game but its great!
