Here's a snip: The thing that makes me hesitant about this game is its incorporation of magic and mysticism. It’s as if the developers felt that it wouldn’t be a ‘real’ RPG if gamers couldn’t execute at least a few spells. The magical elements really seem to take away from the game’s potential to put players into the world of Gladiators and Roman decadence. With all of the competitions and the management of your gladiator schools, it seems almost as if it’s too much to worry about the revival of an evil ancient god. If LucasArts can effectively balance the historical and fantasy elements, it may prove to be an exciting game, but we’ll just have to wait and see. The game will also feature exhibition battles against the computer or 4 player co-operative modes. Gladius should show up on all three platforms by the spring of 2003.
