Good find,
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Gladius X-Box (Video Game)
Picked this one up cheaply with no expectations, and was suprised it was completely addictive. I rarely play a game again once I pass it, but this is one of the few exceptions.And if you're friends are nerdy enough... fun for two player co-op. The only drawback is that the animations can take forever. By the end though, the ridiculous sayings began to grow on me. I almost miss Jeanne yelling "This arena is HUGE!"

Great game, lots of nice hours playing it. Some repeatition near the 3/4 of the game. Overall you'll find yourself asking for more of the original surprises you were having in the first half... maybe that's it's noticible flaw.By the way I read somebody else's review and laughed for hours: " Like losing?, February 15, 2004 That's because there's Heavy, medium and small characters you can play. The heavy ones have higher stats and seems really powerful, but you have to have a well balanced team because small characters play a lot more often than heavy ones.

This review is from: Gladius X-Box (Video Game)
This game started out great. During the first half of the game I thought I was playing one of the best turned based strategy games ever made. The character classes were unique, interesting, and fun. Unfortunately, that did not last. The last half of the game is an exercise in boredom. The caster classes enter the game during the last half and proceed to use the same abilities over and over. Wonderful animations such as "steal affinity" or "summon power" were used so many times the sounds and animations have been etched in to my brain. Surely, the developers and play testers found this to be rather mind number and annoying too, this would have been an easy problem to squash, and really detracts from the game. The casters are bad, but they are not the worst part of Gladius. The absolute worst part of Gladius is the totems on the arena floor. These wonderful objects get one turn per round and do the same thing each and every round. Very bad and very boring. The later tournaments have as many as 8 totems on the arena floor. You will spend more than half of your playtime watching a totem spin and spit out some form of magic. It is painfully boring and completely pointless. After playing a series of 2 vs 2 gladiator battles with 8 totems on the arena floor I completely lost interest in this horrid and extremely boring game. I would sooner scratch my own eyes out than finish this game.
