Circus Maximus

Circus Maximus: Chariot Wars is a brutal mix of racing and combat set during the height of Imperial Rome. The Great Circus provides entertainment to thousands of cheering crowds throughout the Empire. The greatest champions from the furthest reaches of the Empire have gathered to compete in the tournament to determine who is the greatest in the known world, and who will receive recognition from the emperor himself.
As one of the many charioteers in Circus Maximus: Chariot Wars, you will strive to earn glory while racing through settings in the ancient Roman Empire. Compete in the northernmost expansion of the Empire in Britannia, or the cold, harsh lands of Germania, all to reach the ultimate arena, the great Circus Maximus. There is room for only one champion of the circus. Second place is the first loser, and, oftentimes, the first casualty.
Fighting and driving are equally important. Each team has a warrior to protect the driver during the race, and these warriors are proficient in dealing out damage to any who stray too close. Prepare for racing thuggery as you attempt to survive and conquer Circus Maximus: Chariot Wars.

4 Stars Chariot racing goodness
The first time I played this game I was hooked. You really do feel like you are in ancient Rome or Greece or even Egypt as you build your own chariot, choose your driver and fighter and fight for the glory against the computer or your friends. It does get a bit old after a while, but that’s understandable for any racing game. But after a while of not playing it, you get the urge to play it again, making it a good game. The graphics are pretty good, the horses look great, as does the scenery of the game. The voices of the characters always make me laugh, especially hearing the Roman fighter yell “I’ll show you how to drive a chariot!”. This game is fun for everybody, easy to learn and master and seems to never let me down. The music is great too, so great in fact, I wish they’d make a soundtrack to this game.
4 Stars good multiplayer game
I was actually suprised how fun this game is, once you master the controls (I recommend doing the academy/ training classes first before any chariot races). This is definately the game to have when your friends come over, it’ll entertain you for hours. One thing I really like is the replay, so when you crash, you can see it at different view, pretty funny at times. This game is definately worth it.
4 Stars HMMMMMMMMMM!
the graphics are a bit of a letdown and gameplay isnt all that good after u have mastered the game in 5 minutes but for some reason this games is fun. cant explain it. its DEFINITELY not worth $50 tho!
4 Stars Fun but Dumb
The biggest problem with the game is you can only have one campaign saved. Other then that the game is a fun game to rent and battle with your friends.
