I rented Gladius by chance the first time I played it. The day I had to return it, I went and bought it.Gladius is first and foremost a strategy game, and the way it is put together — every type of fighter can best another type (sort of Rock Paper Scissors) — makes it challenging. The graphics, the settings, and the player depth are all wonderful. There is a great number of types of fighters, all of whose appearances and skills are customizeable. The game is very addictive, and most aspects of the game deserve thumbs up. Great game all-around.I would have liked to have seen more animation cut-scenes with more action (the character poses were always the same) and less text — not that I’m against reading, it just takes away from the game.I do suggest that if you purchase Gladius, you also get the strategy guide… unless this is only game you own. It will take quite a while to complete even with the strategy guide. Also, the strategy guide may clue you in on things you might have otherwise missed.
Not one scratch and my favorite game
Gladius is a turn-based tactical strategy game. That is, your gladiators and your enemies each take turns moving and attacking in a grid-based arena. Gladius is very deep and can be complex if one does not take the time to learn how to really play it. I had this game for a month before I really discovered how great a game this is. I would reccomend the strategy guide as well, to help you spend your gladiator’s earned Skill Points more effectively.There is so much customization and character development – it is great! The gold you earn from battles is spent on better Weapons, Shields, Armor, Helmets, and Accessories. The graphics are very good, and the "paper doll" representation of your character looks great as you try on all the different equipment. Just like in Japanese RPG’s, your character stats change colors, red or green, to indicate if the equipment will help or hinder your chance of success in the arena. You can also customize the color of your character’s hair, skin color, armor, and clothes. They also have four different styles of outfits you can choose from for each character – you can make all your gladiators the same color (i.e. team colors) or just make them all individually completely different. It’s really cool.As you earn more Experience, your Level or stats goes up – Hit Points(HP), Defense(DEF), Power(PWR), Damage(DAM), Accuracy(ACC), Initiative(INI), Constitution(CON), and Move Rate(MOV). As these abilities go up, the better your gladiator will p.
Greatest game most people have never heard of. Play this game.
I’ve had more trouble pulling myself away from this game than anything since Gauntlet Dark Legacy. It is really more of an RPG and a strategy game than a fighting game. You lead a gladiator school in a long series of battles throughout 4 different lands. The fascination comes from the endless possible combinations of gladiator types, weapon types, different skills and moves, and other factors such as terrain and strengths/weaknesses. One of the many great things about this game is that it’s good for a lot more hours of play than other games. Before starting this I was in the waning interest of a 4th complete run-through of Dungeons & Dragons Heroes, a good game that is way too short. I’ve spent more time on Gladius than in my 4 times through D&D, and I’m still only a little over halfway through!I thought it was fun that the lead character’s voice was done by Michael Rosenbaum, who plays Lex Luthor on the Smallville TV show. I didn’t recognize any other voices.There are a few minor flaws with Gladius. I’ll just summarize them, although none has decreased my enjoyment of the game very much. The comments from the characters during battles are limited to a small number of phrases such as “For the Glory of the School!” Those same comments are repeated over and over, which does get annoying. Fortunately there is an option that lets you turn off the voices. I thought the graphics were pretty good, but there are some flaws, such as the very wooden and fake facial expressi.
I liked the game and I miss it. I remember playing this as a kid.
gladius was the first rpg that i have ever played this is by far the best game ever everything about this game is good you play as valens or his sister ursula as you battle and many arena to become the top gladiator i give this game a perfect 5 out of 5 its the best
disc had a few more scratches on it then described actually froze during play and i had to restart. I remember playing this game when i was 15 such a fun game.
I rented this game on a whim and was completely surprised at how hooked I became on it. The game is basically a suped up pokemon game with different classes that do different damage against other classes, which have different powers. In this however you have a team that competes and it really helps equip them properly and use different characters in the varying fights. Sounded a little boring to me. After a few hours of game play though I really enjoy it. The main thing that I don’t’ like about this game is that when fighting large battles against two other teams of 4 or more. It takes FOREVER to get through everyone’s turn. I would definitely try this game out for a weekend. You’ll be surprised!
The disc works perfectly. I bought this because I wanted to play games with my wife and she struggles with timing. This turn based RPG can be a little confusing at first, but so far it has been a neat little adventure.

I’m about to put for amazing categories together… cooperative, turn-based, strategy, role player! This is such a great concept!Cooperative, it’s a couch co-op so you and your friends can work together.Turn-based, allows your friends to run for snacks and drop in or out as necessary.Strategy, get that big brain working.Role-player, pick your powers up weapons as you level up.Even though it’s a strategy game it’s not one person telling everybody what to do because of the “swing meter†what we would call a quick time event in modern gaming, everyone has to fight by themselves even though it’s cooperative and strategy. There are some flaws like the stories really sucks. But the core concept of this game is amazing I wish they would bring something like this back.

When this game came out it was by far and still is the best gladiator game ever made. Loved the turn base and the feel of the game. Have been wanting a sequel for a long time now. It would be great to see Ryse be more along the line of this or just a whole new game/version for the next gen of gaming.

this is a great game in the tradition of oger battle and final fantasy tactics but a step up from these games. Gladius is a blast to play and is not the same boring thing over and over again. there are several kinds of matches from a regular kill em all type match to king of the hill. The depth of this game is another great factor. If you enjoy a thinking mans game this is the one for you.

This is a very deep turn-based rpg, although light on story/plot. If you are into turn-based combat, stat-building and item management, you really need to give this game a spin.A campaign can easily take over 100 hours of play if you want to complete everything. The number of weapons, armor, misc items, skills and character classes is incredible. It is very satisfying builing up your gladiator school and experimenting with different combinations of combatants, skills and items. As the game progresses, different types of battles are introduced and conditions are placed on battles to keep things interesting. Side quests, unique items and characters can also be discovered. There is so much to this game!Once you are experienced, the game can feel a bit easy, but there is a simple code to increase the level of your opponents: (Pause at a league office and press: Right, Right, Right, Up, Up, Left, Left, Left, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up, Down). You can repeat this code and increase enemy levels more than once for some real challenges.

Great game, lots of nice hours playing it. Some repeatition near the 3/4 of the game. Overall you’ll find yourself asking for more of the original surprises you were having in the first half… maybe that’s it’s noticible flaw.By the way I read somebody else’s review and laughed for hours: " Like losing?, February 15, 2004Reviewer: A customer from Blackriver, NY United StatesGladius plays like FF Tactics and Ogre Battles except for the fact that you start out every fight with a massive disadvantage. You will never get the first turn, the enemies will always get 2-5 turns for your one. "That’s because there’s Heavy, medium and small characters you can play. The heavy ones have higher stats and seems really powerful, but you have to have a well balanced team because small characters play a lot more often than heavy ones.

I found this game as I was wading through a huge bin of used games at a local Gamestop. I had never heard about it before though I love Roleplaying games and anything having to do with swords and magic. Anyway – at first I wasn’t sure if I would like the turn based play but I soon realized that it is extremely compelling. This game has now turned into my favorite game to play on my xbox and I am really hoping that Lucas Arts creates a sequel. I love all aspects of this game from the funny banter between Ursula/Urlan to the ability to equip and modify your gladiators. This game is never the same game twice mainly because there are infinite combinations of gladiators, skills, weapons and magic. My husband also likes the fact that we can jump into each other’s game at anytime just by hitting “start” on the other controller. When you get to a certain point in the game you can do head to head competition and we love that also. Highly recommended for those who love games like Morrowind, Oblivion and Baldur’s Gate. My only complaint is that I wish I had known about this game when it came out in 2003!

THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE XBOX GAME!!! I bought this soon after I got my Xbox, and even after buying best shops(such as Tony hawk Underground; Halo 2; Splinter Cell; Jedi Academy; 2 James bond games; Rainbow six; SW Battlefront etc…) I still find myself comeing back to this game! I’ve had it for like a year and a half… But it never gets old. The graphics are WONDERFUL and the gameplay EXTREMELY in depth. There are countless “easter-eggs” and secrets, well over 2 dozen side quests, and It is different every time. You get to manage you school of gladiators each by name. So if you win the game and start over again, you can still re-recruit your same dudes. There are like a million cities and a billion Random Encounters. You can never Truly be finished with the game. There is always a higher goal, ie get all dudes to highest rank; complete every city ; etc… You will attach yourself to this game like you never thought possible! There have been times when both me (15 yr old guy) and my sister (17 yr old girl) have litterally cried over losing a gladiator. You begin to feel on a personal level with your commrades.This is a timeless classic and ANYONE WHO RATES IT LOWER THAN FOUR STARS IS A CRAZY LUNITIC!!!!!

My first thoughts playing this game were how repetitive it seemed. Admittedly, you will spend you first couple hours getting to know the combat system, and learning how best to use your main characters. If you can get beyond the training battles and allow the variety of the world to work its magic, you will find this game to be a wonderful diversion.I highly recommend this game to anyone that enjoys strategy over a fast pace. Combat is turn-based and actual attacks are carried out through timed button presses. At first this seems daunting, but the timing can be learned quickly. Any variants upon this routine are fully explained as they arise.The battles themselves can range anywhere from straight head-to-head all the way to points battles to king of the hill. This variety, coupled with the enormous array of fighters and styles lends a ton of playability. Learning the strengths and weaknesses of your warriors and those of your opponents is a never ending struggle. Just when you think you know how to handle them, they pull out a new skill that changes everything.Overall, Gladius is a well rounded way to burn away hours and hours of your day. If turn-based strategy RPGs are your thing, this is definitely for you. If not, then definitely stay away from this great game.

The best game you can find instead of chess. You’re able to customize a lot and play in versus mode when you win

Gladius is a classic game that should be in people’s game shelves. When I purchased this game, the shipment was fast and easy. I’m very pleased with the service.
