Shadow Of Rome(8/10)-PS2
Review Reasoning...
I had loads of fun playing this game and so should you
Plot Review
Its set in Ancient Rome you know the gist Caesar gets murdered but in this game history is altered its not Brutus that does the killing anyway there are two characters Caesars nephew Octavianus and The Bad Ass fighter Agrippa whose father is wrongly blamed for the murder
The Pros
-The Graphics are amazing the opening video gave me chills
-Chariot Races are extremely fun and challenging
-THE VIOLENCE! Hell Fucking yeah this is what the games about...from the first to the last its just amazing....you can chop off a persons head pose with it and then chuck it into the crowd or another persons face now tell me how bad ass is tha?
-The Weapons are nice! Scimitar,Gladius,And the Magnus Sword are extremely fun to use
-The Stealth Missions are fun to whenever a guard jumps out of the shadows it gives you a heart attack
The Cons
-Stealth Missions are way too long and tend to get boring
-The AI opponents need to be better they are just stupid sometimes...there is health(Meat,Cheese,Bread)lying in front of them and yes enemies can consume it but they dont even bother...they have no arms and instead of eating and regaining some health they tend to charge blindly into the walls
-Octavianus.....way too weak he should have a little health at least you turn a corner and a guard turns and runs into you causing you to die
Final Notes
To put it in long terms:Shadow Of Rome is an extremely fun game but you get bored in the middle but then it picks up again....the fighting is amazing and I suggest you buy it
