 One of my top 3 favourite games January 2, 2007

I don't normally review but this game is really underated. I'm 35, an ex-squaddie & love action games, this one is right up there with Star Wars Battlefront 1,2 & Rogue trooper - which is just terrific.
Response of the graphics to the controls in Spartan is fantastic - avoiding common gaming problem with loads of opponents on screen i.e. any idiot can get the same result by thrashing the controller.
Subsequent levels & story board are good too. The Hydra level is the only poor level in my opinion.
Later levels provide more weapons & advanced power for special moves which give greater playability as you re-visit the game to try to perfect control of specific weapon.
A friend recently bought this for the PS2 after visiting & loves it too.
Only drawbacks are single player only & it's currently not supported on the 360 (see www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm).
My advice buy it & prepare for a few late nights it's highly addictive.
Great work SEGA where's the sequel?

This game is very good if you like sword games or the myths and legends about heroic warriors. Graphics are good, story is also quite good, not one to be played over and over though because the levels aren't that exciting.No upgradable moves or anything, just a ranged attack and a melee attack. To start with, it seems like a pretty good game but then it just goes on at the same level. Some levels can be quite challenging but overall it is just another game. I wouldn't have bought this game if i'd played it at a friends house first. I do not recommend it.
 Nice, laid back game April 14, 2006

Spartan:total warrior throws you into the world of ancient greece and the roman rebellion. you fight amonst the legendary heroes of sparta against the might of the roman empire and other fearsome creatures such as medusa, the hydra and the undead. 3rd person fighters are generally not my style but this game was surprisingly laid back and the controls were easy to master. The fighting was sometimes a little repetitive but not so much i gave up completely. There's a variety of different mission objectives but killing roman soldiers is all i really seemed to be doing.However the graphics are very good, and the game is enjoyable for a couple of hours at a time, which was ideal for me. The game would be a lot better with a 2 player mode
a flawed great! April 12, 2006

I loved this game for its hack and slash fun and the immense amount of enemies you can slice through to satisfy any violent gamers blood lust. However this game falls short of being a 5 star classic because of niggly little flaws that can really get on ur hoohoo diddies. Firstly, u can not cycle through ur weapons on the move which is a disasterous fault because often u have a hundered enemies linfording it toward u and u dont have any time. Secondly, the arrow aiming system is about as good as Sunderland's strike force, and about as accurate, meaning u always seem to aim at something u dont want to be hitting instead of an explosive barrel, which are very useful.
Thirdly and most annoyingly the character seems to start walking when u need to be legging it, and he cant fall for more than 10 feet before he cops for a dirt nap! Now i cant fight like a spartan but im damn sure i could survive a 10 foot drop with little more than a sprained ankle. Now, if u have read this far u will probably be asking why i have give the game 4 stars? The answer is, it is immensely gratifying to slay 500 enemies in under 20 minutes game play and it is very gratifying to defeat tough enemies and bosses when u r also up against some rudimentary gameplay faults. This game will annoy the crud out of u, but if u love slashing hordes of romans and mythical creatures, it is worth 5-20 quid of ne body's money

Total lack of a tutorial mode, this game throws you in to the heat of the battle from the off. You have to learn the moves by trial and error. The actual mechanics of the gameplay are just dull Usually there are so many characters on screen you can't really see what's going on, requiring you to constantly bash A until either you win or die from boredom. The game is very impressive on a technical level with enemies and allies alike piling into the battle with no frame-rate issues, but it compares poorly with something like God of War on the PS2 with respect to how much thought had gone in to designing something that was fun to play.
