Spartan: Total Warrior (PlayStation 2, 2005)

I am a huge mythology buff, so when I heard about this game, I went out immediately and bought it.

If you're looking for a game that takes overall skill, this isn't it. You can describe this game as a button masher. There is some level of skill when it comes to the bosses, but overall if you can push x and square over and over again, you'll have no problem playing this game.

The story is interesting, the upgrades to hero and legend make the game more intense, and I personally felt the graphics were pretty good given the amount of enemies that can be on the screen at one time.

There are certain points in the game in which I found a drag in which the ps2 cannot keep up with the action, but it only happend twice.

Pros: Overall fun to play, the story is entertaining, the graphics are pretty good, and the use of "god powers" make you feel invincible.

Cons: A tad too easy when put on the easy level, the next level of difficulty seems impossible. No skill, doesn't take a lot of thinking to play, which could have been fun in some parts.

Overall I would recommend this game. The mature rating is solely for the blood and violence, which maybe I am immune to, but I didn't find there was that much blood.

If you're looking for a fun game, that will make you want to keep playing for hours, this is it.
