    Making History

    Spartan: Total Warrior simultaneously displays more than 160 battling warriors in rich detail. The Spartan is an elite soldier immersed in titanic clashes between mighty Roman battalions and mythological monsters. Using his blade and powerful magic, he embarks on a campaign of liberation. Battles take place in massive environments, from arid wastelands and full-scale cities to a showdown in Rome's Imperial Coliseum.

    Epic slasher

    Give peace a chance? Not likely ...

    Athenians are wimps. By ye gods, any man worth his broadsword hails from the non-nonsense burg of Sparta. In Spartan: Total Warrior, you get to grow from novice warrior to awe-inspiring Hero and eventually Mythical Legend.

    Features

    • Hundreds of on-screen combatants fight simultaneously
    • Encounter Roman soldiers, skeleton armies and classic mythological creatures
    • Unleash spectacular power moves and acquire incredible new weapons and armor
    • Earn favor and powers from the gods
    • Multiple objectives, including escorting, capturing, destruction, discovery, and survival, keep the gameplay fresh.
    • Arcade-like Arena Challenge mode

    You lead the charge as a bloodthirsty Spartan warrior. With no fear or remorse, you'll rush headlong into epic cinematic battles reminiscent of Gladiator and Spartacus with only two options: victory or death.

    At its core, Spartan: Total Warrior is a sandal-shod hack-'n'-slash . You play as a lone warrior slicing and dicing through legions of foes. However, the varied scenarios in each battle adds depth to Spartan: Total Warrior.

    Although there's plenty of slashing, you'll also protect a village, hunt down assassins and lead an assault on a Medusa-powered WMD. With so much all-out warfare going on around you, you almost forget that you're playing a single character.

    Many weapons associated with ancient Greece make their presence felt. When it's at its best, Spartan offers an unparalleled sense of size and scope. Some environments are truly massive, and the action is nonstop.

    You can also go arcade-style in the Arena Challenge mode. You are one man facing wave after wave of enemies. How long can you survive?

    Bottom Line

    Leave your history books at the door and get ready for serious button mashing in this headlong assault.
