GameZone has posted a review of LucasArts' gladiator themed action RPG 'Gladius' for Playstation 2. Rating: 8.2 out of 10 points.Born from a time of war and an uneasy truce between Imperia and Nordagh, the gladiator games were again at the forefront of entertainment.
Into this setting two warriors emerge, one taking to the fields of battle to represent the Imperia, and the other the daughter of the Barbarian king of Nordagh.
As the story goes, Imperia (which is akin to an ancient Roman society) was marching against the nations of the world. Only one kingdom stood up to fight it - Nordagh. The battle was fierce and the Affinity gods, fearing the worse, tried to interrupt the battle with wind, and storms. But the battle raged and in the chaos and fury the Dark God was unleashed. The Affinity gods sent the Valkyrie to try to hold him back, but he was too strong. In a final attempt to contain him, the Affinity gods empowered the queen of the Valkyries, and it was through her sacrifice that the Dark God was once again contained. |
