LucasArts has a real gem on there hands with Gladius. It is a well polished turn based strategy RPG with a lot to love and very little to complain about. The gameplay is unique and adds a great deal the turn based genre. The graphics are well done and the audio is equally impressive. The story is original and engaging. It would have been nice if they could have added more story elements between some of the battles to provide a little break from the somewhat repetitive gameplay, but it is engrossing enough that you will want to keep playing to find out what comes next. You also get great value for you buck with Gladius. This is not a game that will be beaten quickly with easily over 40 hours of gameplay per character. This is a wonderful game for anyone who enjoys RPG's, strategy, and good storytelling.
