 Hard to stop playing, in a "crack junkie" kind of way... April 12, 2006

I played Gladiator until 5am the day I first played it. That said....
1. Patience: Don't judge this game by the opening! It has one of the the WORST opening sequences I've ever played, and it lasts 20 minutes!
2. Value: Don't buy this game for more than $5, under any circumstances.
3. Battle: The name of the game is RE-PET-I-TIVE; you have two buttons to attack with, there's no clear difference between the two buttons except that one seems to make slower (but not stronger) attacks, and there's a weird time delay after you press a button, so I literally found myself pounding two buttons, constantly and mindlessly, whenever I got attacked.
4. Targeting System: I would need to make up words (because none yet exist) to express just how bad the targeting system is; your character attacks enemies in no particular order, locks back on when you hit something, won't lock on when you need him to, you have to hold a button to switch targets, and YOU CAN'T STOP ATTACKING WITHOUT PRESSING A BUTTON.
So why did I play it? Once you get past the lousy control, the HORRIBLE targeting, the annoying camera, and the pathetic "puzzles", there's a moment when you're swinging a huge axe around in the middle of a bunch of beautifully rendered monsters, spinning and cutting and generally acting as an agent of godly destruction, and that moment is sweet.
 Pure crap! October 5, 2005

I am generally a huge fan of hack and slash games but this one is the worst i have ever played. I payed like 7$ for it and that was a complete rip off. This game isn't even worth renting. If you want a good hack n slash try dynasty warriors, samurai warriors, crimson sea, or even nightshade(which is not much better). Avoid this game at all costs.

First, this game plays like something on Nientendo 64, not something you'd expect on Xbox. The camera angle is fixed; you cannot revolve around your character. The hacking that you do doesn't seem to require any technic, just pound the buttons to death. Whatever the going rate for this game is, it's too much. Warning-rent first.

Warning: this game is not for kids!
Gladiator for the XBOX is a hack and slash game, very similar to "Lord of the Rings" game. Set in ancient Rome, you play a character named, Evictus Thrax. You fight against other gladiators inside arenas. You'll also fight against magical creatures such as the skelatal warriors which sprout from the ground. There are a few puzzles with switches and levers that need to be activated in order advance. They are rather simple to figure out. Then there are challanges that transport you into another dimension. The action does get a bit repetative, but fun for the most part because the combo attacks fills up your blood meter, when your blood meter is full, you fight faster and harder with combo moves. The action is bloody and brutal as you slash with your blades at enemies and even execute them with a special move.
Pros:
+excellent graphics
+excellent sound effects
+good controls
+good animation
+upgradeable skills
+bloody and brutal
+fast loading
Cons:
-repetative gameplay
-challanges are difficult
-single player game
Yeah! Gora! Gora,Gora! This is the best repetitive game yet! May 21, 2004

Ok. I played Gladitator. I thought it was great. If you like gore and don't mind super repetitive hack n' slash, then buy this game ASAP.
