Although it’s not as much of an action experience, this selection from ’s games lineup features enough original sound and imagery from the film Gladiator to rank among the most significant sword-and-sandals experiences on any console or system. This is another sword-and-sandals game online that’s directly based on a popular film from the genre. Frankly, it’s better than the film in terms of entertainment value. It’s featured at ’s collection of arcade games and offers a fairly impressive combination of bloody action and 3D graphics.

Nevertheless, this game based on the sequel is surprisingly fun for a chaotic, online, 3D-hacking experience. While 300 was something of an action classic, absurd in every way but also pioneering a bold new way to depict cinematic action, the sequel 300: Rise Of An Empire was a travesty. When console developers spice things up too much, the games can become overdone. On the contrary, these online sword and sandal games have gotten it right through simpler yet enjoyable approaches. A well-designed ancient world environment familiar Greek, Roman, or similar armor and weaponry and the ability to hack and slash at opponents are pretty much all you need. Perhaps the reason for this is that games in this genre can thrive on simplicity. Games like those in the God Of War franchise and even various Lord Of The Rings titles have been successful, but they only border on the theme of sword and sandal. Ryse: Son Of Rome was a good but not great early effort on the Xbox One, and none of the popular films in the genre- Troy, 300, Gladiator, etc.-has produced a memorable title. The sword and sandal genre-that of ancient warriors wielding swords and spears-has struggled somewhat on major consoles.
