from Gamefly Summary: With all of the theatrics and history of gladiatorial combat, it was only a matter of time before a trend would start for the genre. Following closely behind Capcom’s Shadow of Rome, Koei, the masters of historical retellings through the video game medium, bring us Colosseum: Road to Freedom. While wrought with its own shortcomings and tedious hack-n-slash gameplay, there is at least a little bit of good here that may sway a rental if anything.
You start the game by answering a series of questions about yourself such as past occupations and gods you worship which will determine what kind of gladiator you will become. Once your gladiator has been created, you learn the ropes of combat in a small slave camp with wooden swords. After a few battles, you’re sold to a man named Magerius where he extends an offer to train you properly to fight for him and in exchange, he’ll allow you to buy your freedom if you manage to live that long.
