    Dire control system, irritating soundtrack and lack of any inspiring details.

    I tried because I like fire emblem and it's a bit too slow paced for me, The Story 1 characters nice but I cannot get into it don't like the Combat system , if you are a fan of final fantasy tactics the maybe you'll enjoy it

    Gamestyle quite enjoyed taking a detour from the norm with Gladius, which stands commendably behind "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" - in genre-matching terms on the Xbox.

    It's ugly, this gladiator's life. But at least it's got a good personality. [Dec/Jan 2004, p.86]

    A brave game that deserves recognition. Gladius rises above its initial shortcomings and delivers a lengthy and enjoyable experience. [Dec 2003, p.112]
