Circus Maximus

"A fresh idea and a novel approach usually stirs up a healthy excitement in the gaming crowd, but sadly, Circus Maximus lacks the skillful execution necessary to justify the media buzz it's created."

"What Circus Maximus does offer is silly and fun, but there's not much to it. Still, the game can definitely murder an evening or two and makes a decent rental for those of us who prefer a little carnage over speed."

"A few more months in development to touch up the game and make it a bit more rounded and polished, and Circus Maximus could have been a fantastic title that lived up to the promise of the concept, especially for those seeking battle racing thrills with a comic touch."

"Actually competing in a deadly chariot race is an intriguing concept for a game, but Circus Maximus doesn't manage to make the experience all that exciting."

"...Circus Maximus is shaping up to be a distinctive entry in the Xbox lineup and will definitely offer gamers something different when it is released next year."
