    It offers just what needed to be a good choice for entertainment. Not very deep, not complex, but often impressive and always addictive and challenging. Great graphics with special attention to lights and shadows; a good plot and well designed in general. With a higher adventure component and a deeper playability it would be one of the greatest. Worth a look. Strengh and honour...

    While Gladiator has excellent production values, its gameplay is fairly pedestrian compared to some console offerings. However, its style of gameplay is still fairly unique in the PC world, making it oddly compelling in very short bursts. [June 2004, p.80]
  2. Average graphics and sound with repetitive gameplay, and you’re left with a mediocre product. SOV has it's moments, but is otherwise uninspired.
  3. One of the slight problems I had with this game was the difficulty. At many points in this game the difficulty got to be very testing. At times it seems like you are being swarmed by enemies, and some parts may take a lot of practice to get through.
