This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

The game is filled with a wide variety of weapons, styles, tactics, and no two players will play this similarly, with an in-depth combat system and great bloody action, definitely a must-have for any PSP user.

I really like this game, i have always wanted a game where they stick you in a ring as a gladiator to fight people, the only thing that would make it better is if there was a endless fight mode where you could fight till you die. The graphics are awesome and the replay value is great, depending on the choices you make the outcome is different. Plus you can you all sorts of weapons and customize them all. It is awesome.

games that you can customize characters totally have my money. this game has a good topic and decent graphics. ive played a little bit of the game and loved it. its pretty good but it is soooo addictive. to me its not that difficult but i can see a child struggling. still i recommend all people buy it.

part 2 of Colosseum: Road to Freedom

For those of you who don't know, this is almost part 2 of PS2's Colossem: Road to Freedom which is one of my altime favorite games, I still play it. The demo gave just a teaser of what will be, if you were frustrated by the last fight in the game, she won't be that early in the game, it was just to show what the powerful gladiators will be like when you duel them for fame. Great game, with lots of ways to build a gladiator and fight to make yourself free.

I played the Demo as well. I thought it was kind of like Oregon Trail for Gladiators hehe. I was sad when the demo was over. Good Graphics, relatively intense game play and I like the challenge of fighting to be free hehe. Really looking forward to buying this game.

I like all the different equipment that you can use and the fighting gameplay

I have played a demo of this game, so i have to say good things. First of all, the graphics were excellent, considering this is a psp. Second, the sound was perfect, judging for a game set in roman times. The storyline was a little rough, but because of all the awesome things about it, it balanced out really well. Playability and interface were not that good, but it would have to do. The controls were very easy. I don't know if it will work the same for the actual game, but they tell you the controls when you turn the game on. They also explain them to you in training. The game is farely easy, with a little bit of a challenge. You shoudn't take long to play the game. I will defidently buy this game.
