Koei Brings the Colosseum to Life
Battle gladiators, kill lions and do...push-ups?
If Ridley Scott's award-winning film Gladiator got you hankering to be part of the action, Koei has a game for you. Colosseum: Road to Freedom is a new action title, set for release later this year, that lets you live the life of a gladiator, battling for your life and the amusement of Caesar.
Colosseum: Road to Freedom gives you multiple ways to live out your adversarial dreams. The standard battle modes offer one-on-one, team-vs-team, man-vs-beast and survival modes.
But before you even step into the arena, you'll probably want to make sure you survive long enough to see the thumbs up. You can do this by working on your character's body by training in the dungeon.
For more information on Colosseum: Road to Freedom, check out Koei's official page. The game is set for release on PlayStation 2 this September.
