this is a fun two player game and i injoy playing it. i love team games and this is a game i could play none stop probably. its not that bad actually. i though it would be bad but it turned out being really good though. play it you might like it.

I know everybody else who reviewed this gave it a high score, but I fail to find the entertainment. The graphics are pretty good, and it is really original, but the game in general is not that fun. It is very repetative, and you do the same thing over and over again. If you want to try something new, go ahead and rent it, but don't buy it first.

This game is so fun that you could play the same race 100 times and still not be board. The controls are oddly very easy. The graphics were top notch. The only complaint is that there isn't enough races. This game is the ultimate game for people who like mayhem racing games and just about everyone else.

This game is one of my favorite now. The graphics look good to me i mean they could be better but fun enough to play with. The sound is also good i get into the music. The controls are very easy to learn about 15 min to get use to them. I have not played this game yet with another player. The fun factor is so high. And the replay value is very high. I say if you have not played this game yet you better damn well!

As closed minded as you would wanna be.Ready to dismiss this game for its extreme creativity.To bash the programmers who no doubt love the Russell Crowe movie Gladiator.Maybe what will sway you are the beautiful graphics.The vast scope captured in the game that made you love the movie.Perhaps it is the excellent music score,also seemingly ripped straight from the movie.Or could it have been the control;which looked crazy in theory,but-with practice,became flawless in implementation.The fact that a great X-Box game,the instuction manual isn't really a neccessity.The game will tutor you to get you up to par.Maybe the A.I which seemed to be Halo like and never repetative.Not even mentioning the multiplayer options,which add unlimited replay value.Maybe you still weren't convinced.Maybe the large amonut of goodies to unlock changed your mind?No.I would think it is the constant fun and the non-repetative gameplay.A must buy.Without it ..you will be greatly vexed.

Circue Maximus sets the tone for other 3rd party licenses affiliated with Microsoft to follow. We have quite a few poor 3rd party titles for the Xbox, such as the numorous ports from the PS2. The graphics in Circus Maximus are excellent, and the sound fits the game well. I traded the very poor (In my opinion) WWF Raw for this game, and it was a very positive exchange. I recommend this game to all gamers, and encourage you to rent WWF Raw before you buy (don't make the same mistake I did). This only critique I have for Circus Maximus is the controls are hard to get used to, and the camera angle sometimes skips on you during a race, sometimes causing you to crash. On the whole, an outstanding addition to our Xbox library.

Handsolo just has something against xbox... he gives a 1 or 1.5 to every single xbox game, WHY REVIEW IF YOU HATE IT

Circus Maximus is a very creative and unique game. Not one of those remakes of a father game. The idea of racing is obviously not new, but a combination of chariot racing and gladiator battle is truly solitary. The smooth and clear graphics go pleasantly with the music and sound effects that set you back to the time. The available tracks are also well done, although the game could have used more. Single player control will take a little while to get used to, but as soon as you master it, it's a blast. Multiplayer is where this game really shines, however. Spliting the control scheme allows for extra ease and brings cooperative fun. Playing against some buddies with the gameplay creates some festive times. Circus Maximus will be a memorable addition to the Xbox console.

The graphics are above average. The controls are very deep. Kinda tough in single player mode. But the game shines in multi-player mode. It takes a little practice to learn. A cool game to show your friends. You have to try it out. A very unique game. I hope a sequel has more levels, characters, and a easier control sceme in single player mode.
