Here's the opening cinematic for a relatively unknown game called Gladius. Despite being released for the Xbox, Gamecube, and PS2, this game never really got the attention it deserved. Gladius played similar to games like Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea but with a (somewhat) more realistic style. You can build up your school of gladiators, learn new skills, obtain new equipment, earn buffs by winning over the crowd, and even play co-op and competitive multiplayer. I recommend this game to anybody that considers themselves a fan of the genre.
*Note* I see this video ended up in mono, for whatever reason. I'll look into it and re-upload it if need be since none of my other uploads had this problem.
A great game. Would play it again, but my disc is scratched and my old Xbox quit reading discs a long time ago.
