The game has a rigid action and offers little freedom of movement. :-(
This is compensated by the great sequences and the story again. The game as an offshoot of the movie "Gladiator" (with Russell Crowe) One can imagine.
The graphics are neat and the action-packed battle scenes are impressive.
It is not a historic game, but an action game a la Hollywood. Most to fight simultaneously against 3- 4 enemies, parry (reverses) the blows of enemies until you can make a "finishing move" and the opponent impales in slow motion effect.
My Opinion ...
If you liked Gladiator who will love this game. :-)
