The dream of living as a battle-hungry Roman, fighting in coliseums and taking the lives of the poor, hapless warriors before you has been alive in everyone's soul. Well, maybe not everyone's, but now the dream can nonetheless be made a reality for anyone with LucasArt's tri-platform release of their turn-based strategy RPG, Gladius. Whether on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, or GameCube, now anyone can embrace the life of a Roman gladiator fighting for duty and honor. And while the life of an actual combatant may have been slightly less glamorous, Gladius will gladly lead you on a path of fame and prosperity -- if you're a strong enough to take it, that is.
