It will take both brains and brawn to conquer the corruption of Julius Caesar's Rome, so this action-adventure from Capcom offers two playable characters and encourages gamers to switch between them as they face its various challenges. The brave warrior Agrippa is at work on the battlefield when he learns that the emperor has been killed, and that his own father is now being held as an enemy of the state in connection with the crime. In his quest to restore his family's honor and discover the truth behind Caesar's demise, Agrippa will enter duels to the death, fight in the arenas as a gladiator, and compete in chaotic chariot races.

To shed light on the intrigue surrounding the mysterious regicide, however, Agrippa will need the help of his friend Octavianus. The clever and well-connected Octavianus is more likely to be able to solve the game's adventure-style puzzles, which relate to Caesar's murder and the unfair trials of those who were loyal to him. Shadow of Rome is designed to offer a detailed, interactive re-creation of the capital city in 48 B.C., and features a number of famous locations and additional historical characters.

Features
* Switch between characters Agrippa and Octavianus when either brawn or brains is required
* Participate in gladiatorial events such as chariot races, battles, and duels

  MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

ROME, 44 B.C. - A PLACE OF VIOLENCE,
CORRUPTION AND DEADLY SHADOWS.

THE GREAT CITY IS IN CHAOS. Julius Caesar, the emperor, has been murdered. The evidence points to the father of the great soldier Agrippa. But the evidence, like so much in Rome, is not what it seems.

To save his father, Agrippa must conquer the bloody gladiatorial arenas. While he fights, Agrippa's friend Octavianus tried to uncover who is really behind Caesar's death using stealth and intellect. Two different stories, one epic tale, set in the shadow of Rome...

As Agrippa, fight to the death in gladiatorial combat. Use swords, bows, even severed limbs. The more brutal you are, the more the crowd will help you.

Race chariots in the fastest, most fatal sport in ancient history.

As Octavianus, sneak through the senate gathering clues, solving puzzles and donning disguises. The fate of Rome rests on you not getting caught.
