If you are doing well, use a command to get the crowd's attention. When you are fortunate enough to be in the ring fighting, you are given a slew of different weapons to use and the ability to steal weapons out of enemies' hands. Where the game truly shines is in it's combat. And if I wanted to play an RPG where I needed to talk to every effing townsperson to complete my objectives, I would go play Final Fantasy! If I wanted to play a stealth game I would play MGS, Hitman or Splinter Cell. All you do is sneak around and try to find out info to further the story. This really takes away from the fun to be had in the game and serves to make it longer than it really is. Unfortunately you have to flip back and forth between Agrippa and some little prick named Octavianus. If the developers had been able to weave a story around the game and make it so you spent the entire game performing fights in the Colliseum it would have been awesome. The first level is sweet because you are in the Colliseum fighting all sorts of gladiators. The only thing you need to know is that Caesar has been murdered (big surprise) and you are the son of one of his most trusted advisors. The story is really unimportant, but serves to move the game along. I should have trusted the reviews of IGN and Gamespot, though.
It seems like this game has attained somewhat of a cult status since it's following. Shadow of Rome is designed to offer a detailed, interactive re-creation of the capital city in 48 B.C., and features a number of famous locations and additional historical characters. The clever and well-connected Octavianus is more likely to be able to solve the game's adventure-style puzzles, which relate to Caesar's murder and the unfair trials of those who were loyal to him. To shed light on the intrigue surrounding the mysterious regicide, however, Agrippa will need the help of his friend Octavianus. In his quest to restore his family's honor and discover the truth behind Caesar's demise, Agrippa will enter duels to the death, fight in the arenas as a gladiator, and compete in chaotic chariot races. The brave warrior Agrippa is at work on the battlefield when he learns that the emperor has been killed, and that his own father is now being held as an enemy of the state in connection with the crime. It will take both brains and brawn to conquer the corruption of Julius Caesar's Rome, so this action-adventure from Capcom offers two playable characters and encourages gamers to switch between them as they face its various challenges.
