4 out of 5 stars Colosseum is fun, but not great   May 17, 2008
James R. Hukle (Kansas)
Colosseum is a game i picked up at blockbuster for 7 bucks. when i played it, i fell in love with the game,but noticed some flaws. it had great combat, good voilence effects, great weapon variety, but that is about it. you play as a glatiator who fights for his freedom. as you win fights, you become more popular and gain better living conditions. you need to train every other day and hone your abilities, then the next day,fight. the game is highly repetitive, but nevertheless, fun

4 out of 5 stars My favorite PS2 game   October 19, 2007

I am not a gamer, so my opinion is more from a guy who plays video games once a month for a few hours after work. This game had me hooked form the beginning. It isn't endless battles without any real strategy. You decide which battles to fight, you decide how many to fight and you pay down your debt. Sure being able to decapitate would have been a nice touch for it's realism factor, but otherwise this game rocks.

This game on Amazon only got an average of 3 stars that is an insult to this terrific game. When I rented this game I thought it wouldn't be that great because the front and back cover did not really impress me, but after about 30 mins into the game I was totally addicted to it for about 2 weeks. Sure the game might be somewhat repetitive but what game isn't?

I couldn't disagree more with the first two reviews. This is one of my favorite games. If you're looking for characters that look like they're on mega steroids and use superhuman weapons, this is not your game. If that's what you're looking for there are tons like that on the market. Aside from the censorship on extreme gore, the game has incredible depth and historical accuracy; especially the mock battles within the colosseum of rome. If you liked Gladitor, appreciate ancient history, and like a combo of hack and slash and strategy, this game is for you.

I didn't care for this game at all. The fighting was tedious, and grew old after one minute. i didn't care if I could get better armor or weapons. It was like a bad boxing game with gladiators instead. If you want fun, check out God of War or Shadow of the Colossus.
