Viva Caligula

Adult Swim’s latest Flash joint, Viva Caligula, puts you in the leathery shoes of everyone’s favorite crazy Roman Emperor. Charged with the task of killing all of Rome’s citizens, you’ll run amok through the streets, gardens, and catacombs of “The Eternal City,” smiting everyone who crosses your path. Along the way you’ll collect 26 different weapons with which to massacre your opponents.

The fun of this game really comes from the variety of the weapons that are available to you. You’ll get to wield everything from knives and axes and crossbows, to more exotic treats, like beehives and necromancy! And entering Rampage Mode increases the destructive power of your arms. This is achieved by killing, collecting trophies, or – no joke – screaming into a microphone.

Once you’ve collected all 26 weapons, you’ll be invited to the Palace for some good ol’ fashioned hedonism. But given the number of weapons and the size of Rome, this could take you a while.

Conclusion: fun time-waster, great artwork (natch). Would make an awesome cartoon!

When did Adult Swim stop intelligently challenging then-prevailing stereotypes about cartoons and their validity and start being more about creating shock value through over-violence and vulgarity without point?

Score yet another point for the marketing department I guess, siiiiiigh.

Man, what an awesome game. I wonder if this guy is related to Kratos?

And microphone option… if one ever needed an excuse to yell “this is Sparta” over and over again, this is it.

I think I would like this game better if I owned a microphone. Of course the artwork is great but the gameplay was a bit shallow and repetitive…

I forget what website, but there was a review on a Track Mainia game that got a 0. That’s right a complete flat out zero. I believe that the StarForce protection jacked their testing computer and internally removed both optical drives making the game unplayable.

This game on the other hand worked great, I had fun setting people on fire then holding “Z” so they fought each other; while at the same time set one another on fire.

I did recievw some strange looks from room mates. Probably because I was screaming barbarian war-crys into my mic raising my rage meter.

I love it when people call a game terrible because it doesn’t work on their computer!

Terrible. Collision detection doesn’t work, You can’t hurt people, they can’t hurt you. Fails to actually receive weapons after walking over them. All in all, utter shit.
