Shadow of Rome

Doctor Boogie, you grossly underrated the amount of enjoyment i would receive from this game in your own review of it. The pleasure of hitting a pouncing tiger in the face with a man-sized morning star is too great to put words to. Or how about ripping half a dozen men asunder with a sword whose weight is greater than your own? Or lightning a midget on fire and stabbing him in the face with a dagger as he tries to run away? Oh my god.

Yeah, the big-ass sword is really great. Many times did I get it in a crowd of enemies and, moments later, I would be standing amidst a pile of limbs and torsos.

Have you gotten to the boss battle with the guy riding the elephant?

[Ninjavenom]

Not yet, but it sounds promising :D

I just replayed the first Battle Royale and it was fucking awesome. Gold is so hard to get, man. I dunno what you have to do to earn that shit. I had everyone dead/disemboweled/decapitated and every statue crushed and used by two minutes and only got a silver :(

[Dr. Boogie]

I think it has more to do with getting good combos than killing them quickly. If you get a wide variety in a single match, you get the Bonum Salvo bonus, and later the Magnum Salvo bonus , and those can really help you get your total up. Gold is a lot easier to get on domination-style levels, where the point requirements are really low.

I think it would probably also help to learn Rolling Thunder like the back of my hand, cuz they go nuts for that shit. Apparently the one-handed weapons have some brutal salvos that you can do by tapping x at the right time right after a rolling thunder, i bet those are worth a lot too :O

It would also probably help if my PS2 didn't die this morning.

Now she won't wake up :(


waaah :tear
