What can i say...This game is cool. The arena battle are heart pumping and adreniline filled(especially when you severe some poor guy's head from his shoulders and show it to the crowd,HOOORAWWWWW.)But right as the game gets cool you get draged from the coolness and are forced to do some retarded mission for some kid named octopus or something, he's like a pacifist because he doesnt kill anyone. Overall this game rocks, Buy IT!!!!!!!!!!!

i paid for expedited shipping and i got it like 8 days later. The game is shadow of Rome. i am very happy with the game but i was upset i had to wait so long when i paid extra for it to be delivered faster. for all of u out there i reccomend u do not pay for expedited shipping because it will probably come the same time as if u didnt pay more. the game shadow of rome is really fun and exciting. i wouldnt reccomend anyone under 14 play it because of the gore and violoence though.

This is Dynamite

What are you gonna do today? Play Shadow of Rome, Gosh! SOR is a great concept and really puts itself out there to hit or miss with players by switching characters and styles of play... lucky, SOR hits the mark like a spiked mallet to the forehead. This game kicked my behind harder than a lesson at Rex Kwan Do and I have to recommend it to all of you. If this game were a chicken it would have large talons so get it on like D-Qwon, the graphics are awe inspiring, well the sequences are, the battle scenes are above average and just sneaking around Rome is pretty detailed but I really enjoyed the gameplay in general. But this game is all about the gore, blood, violence and that is where it is best at captivating attention and imagination. The only downside is that with all the untamed animals there were no Ligers to fend off or 2-player mode to give a little more replay value. Napoleon, even if you can't afford the fun-pack save up for SOR, it sure beats tetherball.

Great Game! Buy It NOW

This game is very fun in this game you dont just fight the whole time you get to go through a rome and fight enemies get weapons and armor you do a story mode, dont worry this game has plenty of action and gore. The only thing that could of made it better is to be able to have two or more players (this game is only 1 player) but besides that it is very fun i recommend this game i dont think you will be dissapointed.

i'm not sure if this review will be helpful but this game is just great. the whole feel of being in ancient rome is cool enough but you also get to control two characters. this idea keeps the game fresh because you don't get tired of either character and i must say the stealth missions are just as cool as the gladiator battles.(i said almost!) i dont get too hyped about videogames anymore but the makers of this game really took their time with it. the battles scenes are just amazing and rome looks magnificent. this game is a must have for any videogame fan. i put this up there with grand theft auto on the fun factor but it has more of a realistic feel to it because this is really rome down to a tee. this game is realistic and fun and i reccomend it.

This game is worth the 12 dollars I paid for it. Someone mentioned in an earlier review that the targeting system for the character is off. I agree. It is difficult to target grounded enemies and slow to move about in this game. Having said that, I like the brutality and the different weapons in the game. The targeting system doesn't really allow you to attack specific body parts so the game just gives you different outcomes when using different weapons at different attack angles. You can sever an ememy's arm, pick it up, and whale on him with it. Fun stuff! The cut-scenes are cool but can not be passed.
