Fun:
I like this game but it gets really frustrating if you lose a battle & have to keep at that battle until you win - rather than just punishing you with a loss of points etc. I am stuck on the battle of Magnesia - tried it 7 or 8 times now & spent ages trying different orders - you are not allowed to lose more than 150 men with no time limit to hold out for & no way to get behind the enemy. You are stuck with the units you have built up. Not even sure that the enemy dispositions are at all accurate - they should have scythed chariots for example. I wish there was a way to continue without winning - after all the Romans built an empire losing battles but winning wars! Having said that it is still fun...

Legion Arena is a game which got me very much confused. I completely understand how to play it but I it confused me in the way that I didn't know it was just gonna be battles. I was hoping for something in the way of Rome: Total War where you get to govern provinces and such.
At the start you have to just do a short tutorial level under the Gauls, a few levels long. Then you go on to the Romans and further on the Celts. There is no plot under the Gauls (as would be expected as it just a tutorial.) It wouldn't be fair of me to say you don't build an empire as you do but not as you want to. You complete levels which mean you take over certain places but they don't correspond with each other.
Like Rome: Total War as this was released in 2005 I would expect it to need a relatively high memory and graphics card on the computer to play the games. For Legion Arena you actually don't and considering this matter at hand the graphics aren't bad. When fighting the characters themselves look a little more realistic than in Rome: Total War, with the terrain and weather being very good.
A major downfall is that it is really a very easy game. It gets harder as it goes but really too easy. Maybe its just the fact that if I lived in them times I would be a first class general but probably not.
I give it 3 stars mainly down to the fact that it doesn't have the things that Rome: Total War has but apart from that it's not actually a bad game.
If you're interested in Rome in a really sad way like I am then get this game if not then stick to Rome: Total War.

This game is awesome. A welcome breathe of fresh-air from the Rome: Total War craze, if your like me and prefer a more RPG style of game, but still like a decent and challenging strategy element to the battles, then definately check this game out. The normal difficulty is rather easy, but if you want a challenge just move it upto Hard or even Very Hard and I'm sure you find something that'll keep you occupied for ages. Also I'm currently loving the new Cult of Mithras expansion back you can get from the developers website, 30 odd more battles, and a decent RPG storyline based in Roman mythology. All in a all, a decent title.
