Character switching - Shadow of Rome blends action and adventure with
the use of two different main characters, Agrippa and Octavius. One
character lends itself more to action and the other is crucial for the
adventure elements of the game. Switch between the 'brains' and 'brawn'
to uncover the truth behind the real murderer of Caesar.
Full 3-D polygonal environments - Ancient Rome is stunningly recreated
immersing the player by bringing a sense of realism to the game.
Scenarios change based on the player's gaming style - The game will
match the player's style. If they excel during the action portions of
the game, more action elements will be incorporated into future
scenarios. The same rule applies to excelling during adventure
situations. This allows those who are good at a particular genre to
Gameplay variety - Shadow of Rome thrusts players into numerous
sub-challenges where they participate in gladiatorial events such as
chariot racing, tournament battles and duals to the death.
Dolby Sound Pro Logic II - Shadow of Rome will include a sound system
similar to those found in today's motion pictures. This creates an
experience of truly being part of the action by utilizing a wide array
of sound effects that reconstruct the hustle and bustle of ancient Rome
or the roar of a crowd at the Coliseum.
Historical figures of ancient Rome round off the colorful cast of Shadow
for this shiny disc to come out will be hard to do but Iím sure
weíll make it. Scheduled tentatively for a Q4 2004 release Shadow
of Rome all we can do is see if the final product gets the thumbs
up or thumbs down.
