Throwback Thursday: Shadow of Rome

I know how y'all like them Throwback Thursdays so here's a little something. I got Jiks to try out Shadow of Rome on the PS2. I got a PS2 pretty late in its life cycle so I didn't really get to experience a lot of PS2 games during its reign. I watched Brad from 4PlayerNetwork play Shadow of Rome as well as seeing a cousin of my friend play it. To my surprise it had quite a few gameplay mechanics other than just gruesome combat. I played a bit of this game a few years ago and got Jiks (who grew up with a GBA during the early 2000s) to check out the game and see what he thought of it.
