Spartan: Total Warrior engulfs the player into the midst of titanic clashes between mighty armies, blending mythical beasts and legendary monsters into the fray. Brutal combat meets epic warfare on the battlefields of the ancient world as you fight for your life, your freedom and your honor. Take up arms against the ruthless Roman Empire and fight alongside loyal allies as your skill at combat and your mastery of the art of war allows you to single-handedly turn the tide of epic battles. Wade into the thick of battle with intense combat featuring a wide range of moves, multiple melee & missile weapons, combos, spectacular special moves, finishing moves, blocks, shield charges and evasive manoeuvres. From arid wastelands to full scale cities, through dungeons to rugged mountains, and finally to the ultimate showdown in the Imperial Coliseum in Rome, the titles environments are massive.

    Spartan Total Warrior doesn't remind me of anything before it, which is extremely rare. [Nov p.70]

    A very good beat 'em up adventure with hundreds of simultaneous enemies. Too bad the awful Athens-level is a major pain in the backside. [Oct 2005]

  3. Gamer's Hell
    81
    Aside from the odd mood breaker, somewhat sluggish load times between menus, and occasional repetitive gameplay, Spartan: Total Warrior manages to bridge the familiar RTS brand to the console world through its silky-smooth framerate, very respectable visuals, and deviously violent gameplay.
  4. PSX Extreme
    80
    Creative Assembly's first console effort is a satisfying, action-filled hack-and-slash.
  5. Play.tm

    An accomplished and well-crafted battle-axe wielding warrior of a game. Just don't expect anything classic, historically speaking.
  6. Edge Magazine
    70
    It only betrays itself completely once – in a dismally conventional boss battle around halfway through – though at times Spartan threatens to become routine, it never does, thanks to its strong character, handsome looks and sheer, irrepressible verve. [Nov 2005, p.96]

  7. Computer Games Magazine

    Combined with the recent God of War, a pattern seems to be developing: the gifts Ares bestows come at the cost of a clad torso. [Dec p.88]

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La jugabilidad es increíble, pero se vuelve repetitiva. Tiene partes "plataformeras" pero no son la gran cosa y aveces son tediosas por tener que saltar al píxel y hay problemas de cámara con el arco. La historia es genial pero no le veo sentido a leonidas en el año 300 AC, el juego se vuelve repetitivo ir de un punto A a un puto B y la jugabilidad se vuelve tediosa, le doy un 8 pero le daría un 10 por la nostalgia pero tengo que ser estricto… Expand

Alright, but the 1 is to bring this ridiculous rating down. Far too hard in places, really takes away from the hack-and-slash mentality. Not a worth buy, no reply value.
