I am a huge mythology buff, so when I heard about this game, I went out immediately and bought it. If you're looking for a game that takes overall skill, this isn't it. You can describe this game as a button masher. There is some level of skill when it comes to the bosses, but overall if you can push x and square over and over again, you'll have no problem playing this game. The story is interesting, the upgrades to hero and legend make the game more intense, and I personally felt the graphics were pretty good given the amount of enemies that can be on the screen at one time. There are certain points in the game in which I found a drag in which the ps2 cannot keep up with the action, but it only happend twice. Pros: Overall fun to play, the story is entertaining, the graphics are pretty good, and the use of "god powers" make you feel invincible. Cons: A tad too easy when put on the easy level, the next level of difficulty seems impossible. No skill, doesn't take a lot of thinking to play, which could have been fun in some parts. Overall I would recommend this game. The mature rating is solely for the blood and violence, which maybe I am immune to, but I didn't find there was that much blood. If you're looking for a fun game, that will make you want to keep playing for hours, this is it.Read full review
First, let me say that this is one of my favorite games EVER. I liked the main character a lot, and enjoyed the limited time I had fighting alongside my buddies, Castor and Pollux. There are other cool allies to fight with also, and I wish I could have seen more of them. I haven't finished the game yet, but wanted to say that it is already more than worth what I spent on it. The monsters and enemies you get to fight are interesting and often presented in unusual ways. I liked the weapons a lot, but would have liked to also be able to choose my armor or other gear. Sometimes the hordes of enemies onscreen at once get a little ridiculous, and make it really hard to focus or see anything; especially your poor beleaguered allies. I would have liked to be able to explore the environments a little more before being forced to go to the next scene. I hate it when a gate closes behind you, and you can't go back after killing the local enemies. There also seem to be some points where if you stand in a certain spot, the enemies just come out indefinitely, which kind of mars any sense of realism. I mean, how many Romans or proto-Vikings can one tower hold ? Really ? Reminds me of GTA San Andreas with the damn helicopters. I've shot down more choppers than even exist in the whole State of California in 15 minutes. Really ? So it can be with the damn Romans. Endless. Just run away from those spots and do something else. You don't get any benefit, as far as I can tell, from killing more hordes of enemies. Another thing I'd really like to see is some kind of unlockable where you could play Castor or Pollux or one of the other NPC's, with a different assortment of weapons and armor...( Listen UP, you game designers out there ! ) All THAT said, I am really enjoying the game, and recommend it highly, as I'm getting many hours of enjoyable play out of it already. Two thumbs up. Sore thumbs, that is...Read full review
For a Playstation 2 game, this one is amazing. The graphics are stellar, the storyline is flawless and the gameplay leaves little to be desired. If this were translated to the PS3 generation it would undoubtedly be one of the mega-hits, to rival God of War and Inferno. The only downside is that when viewed next to games such as those previously mentioned, one definitely notices the differences between the genres (the fault there is simply that it is on a dated system, however, and not one inherent to the game, itself). Downside - the creators didn't see fit to modernize it and continue it into one of the newer generation systems. Other than that it's a great game in its entirety.
Spartan Total Warrior is a good game. Vast levels and hordes of enemies,with several different type of enemies,and pretty good boss fights. Although Spartan isn't my most favorite game, it sertainly deserves a chance to at least be played once, or if you're like me a week straight. Also this game isn't for everyone, keep in mind the rating of the game, which is put there so responsible parents will protect their child(ren) from what they shouldn't be introduced to yet. I decided to buy this game because I thought it looked interesting and fun, and that is exactly what it was.
One of the great slept on games on the Playstation 2. If you get a chance to play this epic Sega Saga do it. Do not miss this hidden gem! Hack and slash that is fun with classic huge arcade type bosses. Sega delivers again!
