A racing/action title based on the 1959 Charleton Heston film of the same name. Features include 17 varying tracks, multiple weather patterns, and multi-branching paths.

In Ben Hur the crowd cheers at the thought of spilt blood. The horses whimper with nervousness. The adrenaline pumps through your body. You are a chariot racer-a brave breed of man who lives for the entertainment of others and hopes one day to become a legend and not another corpse on the track. It's time to fulfil your destiny.

Challenge your opponents on more than 17 tracks at legendary sites: Pompei, Guizeh, Olympus, the Pantheon and the Circus Maximus. Race in all conditions, during day and night and through rain, snow and sand storms. Compete through various game modes: career, training, death-match, arcade and split-screen multi-player. Control your cart by managing the driving and the tiredness of your horses. Fight with javelins, axes, shields and swords and call upon your gods to get the most powerful spells (health, attack, traps and turbos). Buy and trade carts, wheels, horses, weapons etc and witness some breathtaking scenery with the top graphics engine and special effects.

Ben Hur - Blood of Braves contains a variety of different gameplay modes that include Training, Career, Arcade, Time Attack, Death Match and Multiplayer. The main method of gameplay is the Career mode or Ascension that has your character racing around the ancient world, competing against other characters in order to be bestowed by the Gods themselves. In its purest form, Ben Hur is a racing game that has you competing against other chariot racers. There is however a twist to racing chariots and if you have seen the movie Ben Hur, then you all know what I am talking about because chariot racing can be quite brutal at times. While trying to keep on the track at high speeds, you must also engage your opponents with a variety of ancient weapons that include swords, spears and shields.
