    An inspiring action title that will captivate you through its dramatic storyline and leave you striving on a quest for freedom.

    Yes, Colosseum is a lot like Shadow Of Rome but with number juggling and a total lack of slightly incongruous stealth sections.

    You've got a case here of several awesome features balanced against some utterly frustrating ideas. [July 2005, p.119]

    If there ever was a game destined to attract a cult following for its strange design decisions, Colosseum is definitely it.

    This game was mad fun. If they would have kept this series going I think it could have gotten a huge following. Just this one alone was a fun great game that I still play today.… Expand
