Hias Wrba reviews Spartan: Total Warrior, and openly admits to his bias:
"One of my fondest childhood memories is the Sunday reruns of classic sword and sandal movies like Spartacus and Ben Hur. I am not exactly sure why, but I was somehow ensnared by those ancient times of wonder and mystery. And I carry a little bit of that childhood fascination with me today. Accordingly, I was quite excited upon hearing that Creative Assembly—a developer known for its accurate real-time strategy (RTS) games set in historical contexts—developed Spartan: Total Warrior, a fighting game that lets me take the role of one single footsoldier in the Spartan army I instantly dreamt up the whole game: how it would require me to stay in close formations with my comrades, how I would experience the tension of a raging ancient battlefield through the eyes of one soldier. How finally one fighting game would put me on the same ground with my allies and enemies."
