Chariot racing goodness

The first time I played this game I was hooked. You really do feel like you are in ancient Rome or Greece or even Egypt as you build your own chariot, choose your driver and fighter and fight for the glory against the computer or your friends. It does get a bit old after a while, but that's understandable for any racing game. But after a while of not playing it, you get the urge to play it again, making it a good game. The graphics are pretty good, the horses look great, as does the scenery of the game. The voices of the characters always make me laugh, especially hearing the Roman fighter yell "I'll show you how to drive a chariot!". This game is fun for everybody, easy to learn and master and seems to never let me down. The music is great too, so great in fact, I wish they'd make a soundtrack to this game.

I loved this game. I rented it at a competitor's establishment and loved it so much that I went out and bought it.

First, while it isn't that difficult, there are some sections (such as the one wheel training challenge) that are maddening. The single player gameplay isn't terribly taxing, unless you are on the most difficult setting.

The real value of the game is in the multiplayer. So many tracks and handicaps that you can place upon yourself along with quite a few characters and harness setups make for some even playing ground. If you don't have any friends, don't buy this game. I hope they either make a sequal or release Gladius soon.

good multiplayer game

I was actually suprised how fun this game is, once you master the controls (I recommend doing the academy/ training classes first before any chariot races). This is definately the game to have when your friends come over, it'll entertain you for hours. One thing I really like is the replay, so when you crash, you can see it at different view, pretty funny at times. This game is definately worth it.

Good game

Heard so many neagative reviews of this game before it's release that I was really expecting it to be awful, but to my surprise it really is quite fun to play.

The biggest problem with the game is you can only have one campaign saved. Other then that the game is a fun game to rent and battle with your friends.

HMMMMMMMMMM!

I rented this, hearing all the hype for it, and was sorely, sorely disappointed (as I was with most of my XBox games). I didn't like the gameplay, I didn't like the sound, I didn't like the story. (?)

I almost regret the [price] I payed to rent this game, so I wouldn't even consider buying it...

But of course, that's just me.

Don't bother even renting the game!

Okay, to put it in a few simple words, "WCW Mayhem, WCW Backstage Assault, Stratosphere!" Circus Maximus is no exeption to the rule, the game play is incredibly monotonous, the Front End (Character Selection) is a joke, and the training missions; c'mon guys!

This game rules(only on the best system Xbox)

This game is non stop action. Kicks a**. As your riding down in circus maximus theirs always danger and non-stop action. This is a must buy and remember xbox is the best.
