Always nice to see this game get some recognition. Solid AA game and going around unarmed and beating every one up like a Roman Mike Tyson is absolutely hilarious.
HOW TO GET PAST DAY 50 IN COLOSSEUM ROAD TO FREEDOM: When Marcia asks for a Sparringpartner for Commudus, You have to Refuse one time, wait for the following comment. Then Accept. After killing Commudus, Laetus comes to Magerius & wants You to kill Narcissus, You have to refuse two times! Because You are a man of Honor, & You know that You killed Commudus, You can not Kill an innocent Person! There is another Decision to make, while You are in the Carriage with Marcia. It's long time ago, since I played this game, so I don't know anymore, if this decision affects to get past day 50. You'll have to figure it out for Yourself. It took me many Days to figure that out in the 2000s & I hope this will help at least one Person, so my time was no waste. I am sure, that this is not a Bug or Glitch, because if You look to the Calendar at day 47, it goes on. Beside that, You can have 4 Slaves in the highest Rank (Two male & Two female), & this is impossible to reach in 50 days. Sorry for my English & I hope it will help. You can ask everytime about this cool game. I will answer.
Fun fact: the Japanese version actually included the gore. you could decapitate enemies, loot the heads, sell them after the fight and get rich in no time....heads' values were broken
Ppl should really play this game with the PCSX2 emulator at 4k resolution. Get the uncensored version that adds dismemberment from the CDromance site and enable it on the options and this game is golden, combat mechanics are deep , extremely satisfying combat RPG mechanics. This is one of my all time favorite games
If y'all are interested in RTF, there are two beta versions, plus the retail and remix Also, about the core stats, choosing a deity determines how strong his/her core stat buffs and debuffs from items will be, like, choosing Victoria makes any AGI-related effects much better, while choosing Amore makes DEX-related effects better.

I remember this game had a bug for the pirated version. The game just decided to crash after a few ingame days. It took me a long time to finally play this game after working and managed to buy a ori hardcopy of the game.
Yeah, it is made by JP devs after all. Hell, if you look at footages of dialogue with characters from gladiator begins it really starts to remind me of visual novels
@@KrisVickers-wn6dd Unfortunate, thought that in this age where competitive gaming is a thing, complete with audience, there'd be a niche for gladiator games. Guess fighting games and fps are the closest experience we'd get in the more mainstream part of gaming
I think if you reworked the title and thumbnail, to something along the lines. of hidden gem, or forgotten it might net you more views. Beyond that sub, liked and well commented :)
@@carlstirlingschannel I’ll have to check it out! I don’t have the option to replay the game anymore sadly. Without emulation of course but getting the programs and roms is a grind for me lol.
@@carlstirlingschannel It's sounds dumb but I just wish I could make my character bald like myself ha. Ano in Gladiator begins you can. Increases immersion for me when a character somewhat looks like myself.
It's PS2 Dark soul. Stamina management, parry sistem, tough boss
dark souls before dark souls

It's way deeper than that, but ye

seriously?
are you sure that wasn't the Alpha?
@@KrisVickers-wn6dd no, it was the japanese version...you can even look for it on the internet
Thanks for covering Colosseum's legacy so extensively :)

thanks for the tip, played this for a bit back in the days but never got far, maybe its time to give it a proper chance.
I could not find the uncensored version on CDromance at all.
Is there a patch file?
Actually, the best way to enjoy this game is the USA version(SLUS-21179) with the day 50 skip ,not the betas, EUR version or the remix
Exelent game, loved to play a "kickboxer" gladiator.

My favorite game on ps2 and i still find myself hooking up my ps2 to re-live the nostalgia. Absolutely love this game

I'm looking for games like this, but there is none, i'm so sad about it.
Good video good game
And the background music is beautiful
¡Por fin pude saber para qué funcionaban los esclavos en este juego! Muchas gracias.
I remember this game had a bug for the pirated version.
The game just decided to crash after a few ingame days.
It took me a long time to finally play this game after working and managed to buy a ori hardcopy of the game.
in latin america, most of the pirated copies directly didn't work tbh
i remember getting like five different copies which crashed in different points.
It reminds me of the way of samurai games series
Yeah, it is made by JP devs after all. Hell, if you look at footages of dialogue with characters from gladiator begins it really starts to remind me of visual novels
there isn't alot of gladiator games surprisingly.
I'm playing through Spartan Total Warrior atm. it's tough.

This game was/is still a banger. The training and eating mechanics were so fun and the combat is easy to learn, hard to master. At least for me lol
It is indeed a gem, funnily enough I think the closest experience I had to this game in pc is actually Exanima's arena mode.

A great game why hasn’t this been remade
@@gregmoore8620 I far prefer spiritual successors. Remakes are something I prefer to avoid
Always hated how this, Gladiator Begins and WWAATD are literally the closest thing to being a Gladiator in a game
@@NiCoNiCoNiCola Yeah, we need more of these gladiator games!
There's shadow of Rome too, but those stealth sections sucked
@@wills5482 Shadow of Rome is more of a linear experience
Really love this game, played this on ps2, but it's always stuck when saving, i bought 3 cds and still stuck on saving
@@vaynard9970 Yeah me too lol, back then. i even reached laetus
Why they didnt do a sequellll
They did a prequel for PSP and I guess budget problems ate the game
is the base game good enough?
I hear the Japanese is better but I don't know if I want the hassle of modding my ps2.
@@KrisVickers-wn6dd I think it's decent enough, it's more that I'm just sad that the japanese one had an expansion version.
@@carlstirlingschannel It's sounds dumb but I just wish I could make my character bald like myself ha. Ano in Gladiator begins you can.
