About this product
Product Information
- In the tradition of films like Gladiator and Spartacus comes Gladius, an action RPG taking place in the world of gladiatorial combat. As one of two principal characters, Ursula and Valens, players must train and lead a team of warriors to compete in the 20 coliseums and arenas found in four regions around the world. As a gladiator team trains and fights, warriors become more experienced and will eventually develop new abilities.
Each battle is fought using a combination of steel, magic, and projectiles as players recruit from a pool of 16 distinct fighter classes, including Imperial Legionaries, Galdr witches, and javelin-throwing Peltasts. Over 400 pieces of equipment can be used in combat, and Gladius offers over 100 customizable characters as players win the certificates required to enter new regions through successful battles.
Ursula and Valens both feature separate storylines, each of which offers an estimated 36 hours of play. In addition to the story mode, which ultimately has players preventing a dark god's ascent to power, a number of exhibition battles can be fought against computer opponents with support for up to four players in cooperative mode. Once the story mode is complete, players can revisit tournaments to build their characters' stats for use in multiplayer combat.

A Classic Lucas Arts Game : Gladius
If you haven’t played this game, it’s still not backwards compatible and can only be played on original Xbox unless you find an emulator work around on the PC. It was one of those turn based games that flew under the radar. At its core you feel like a gladiator. There’s timing and precision button pressing which is engaging during battles, yet doesn’t require you to play like it’s call of duty quick shooter with skills of a 15 year old. Worth every penny. I rented it from Blockbuster years ago and then bought it from them. The disc deteriorated, but eBay makes finding original copies easy again.

Great Depth and Story.
Gladius is a great, albeit not well known, Xbox game. It has a wonderful story, and reminds me of The Baldur's Gate II Saga as it has RPG elements incorporated into its wonderful turn based game play. One of the main reasons I enjoy this game is the surprising depth of play...think an animated 3d mix of Eastern/Western chess and Eastern/Western philosophy with a dash of mythology and accurately portrayed/equipped character classes. The only negative I can honestly write about is that I don't have enough free time to play this game. Lastly, pick up a copy of the Gladius game guide when you purchase this item. It is well written and very informative. Its artwork alone will compliment an already fantastic game.

Top Notch SRPG
It's definitely a product of it's time, but if you can get past it's 6th Gen clunkyness, it's a brilliant and compelling game.

I like this game
What I liked about this game was how you can be a gladiator and have armor, weapons, and control an army and an empire. What I disliked about the game was that the armor and weapons were kind of not advanced like now a days games but back then it was different and not advanced enough but I still like playing all the old systems and the old games that Xbox and plus Playstation did back durring the 1980s through now playing these old games brings back memories but I still like Playing these old systems and games and also the newer systems and games that came in through the years.

In-Depth
Gladius is a long strategic role-playing game, appropriately billed as an "epic gladiatorial RPG," that lets you build up a powerful squad of gladiators, ranging from small and lithe ones on up to extremely large and powerful ones. You then equip them with a seemingly limitless variety of weapons and armor. As your warriors gain experience, you can have them learn all sorts of special abilities, and using these to their fullest potential in battle is a process that never ceases to be challenging. The action takes place exclusively on the battlefield--and almost exclusively in organized tournament settings. The game's towns are nothing more than an interface for choosing from the various battles available in that location. The structure of the game is straightforward: You compete in leagues to earn cups; cups are earned by winning a number of matches within a league (not necessarily all of them). Once you've earned a sufficient number of cups, you may enter that town's tournament. If you win that town's tournament, you're one step closer to qualifying for the regional championship of that country. If you're up for a deep, long-lasting, strategic gaming experience, then Gladius is perfect for you. At the heart of this game is an interesting and well-thought-out combat system, and there are so many viable combinations of characters, equipment, and skills to experiment with that this game could easily keep you busy for much longer than most games do these days.Read full review
