This is easily one of my favourite games for the Xbox one. I received it with the day one edition and It was the first game I played. The gameplay is really sweet, very smooth gameplay, the executions are extremely fun, I was worried it could get repetitive but that's not the case at all.

bought this game just for the sake of it, but couldn't stop playing it. one of those games that is extremely addictive. graphics are awesome, storyline is pretty good, and all around great game, would definitely buy it again, the only thing i don't like about the game is the fact that it doesn't...

When I finished playing this game, I felt like I wanted more. That's the mark of a good game. I also felt like I had played something fresh. If there were 20 games about Rome, this one might not stand out as the most outstanding.

The very first camera shot of Ryse: Son of Rome gives you a view of barbarians attacking the beautiful imperial capital; Then the camera zooms in on a single soldier, Marius Titus, as he tries to fight off the barbarians; That shot tells you a lot about what you'll see in this game.

Ryse: Son of Rome is a game on rails; That means it moves from one scene to another in a linear path, often giving the player the illusion of choice, but in reality requiring them to stay on the prescribed path; Sometimes that isn't a problem, like when you fight your way into a large arena.

With both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 going head to head within weeks of each other, both platforms have had to pull all the right moves in order to lure gamers onto their platform.

A audio and visual splendour; Progressive story keep you glued through until the end; Online multiplayer can be fun with the right partner

Short but sweet; Ranking up other than health felt meaningless; Executions can feel repetitive and slowdown the overall gameplay

I was really impressed with this game and it is probably the best game I have played on the Xbox One and it is one of the cheaper games for some reason so I urge you not even to think twice about buying this game!

If you thought you would like Ryse but listened to the reviews like myself and didn't pick it up, honestly the game is far from those scores. I picked this up at a decent price and the game exceeded far beyond my expectations.

This game is a lot of fun to play. I didn't find it hard at all, even on the highest difficulty, which is great if you get bored with games easily this is probably the one for you as its not overly long, and it has a decent story.

" Ryse: Son Of Rome " has probably been the surprise game of 2013 for me. Ridiculed by the press since it was re-announced at E3, and followed by a fairly disinteresting showing at Gamescom, I didn't initially have a lot of time for the game.

When I received my bundle from NewEgg I originally planned on selling this game as with my copy of COD Ghost, but I took a gamble and am pleasantly surprised by the enjoyment I got from the game. If you want a fun game that is great to show off the system to friends I would recommend it.

The game def; shows the progression of technology in these new consoles; And though the games fighting is extremely simple (played through on hardest difficulty because of reviews stating simplicity of combat) it is extremely rewarding removing limbs!

Camera on rare occurrences will have many enemies in the way making it difficult to color coordinate eliminations; Shorter campaign if you don't play on a difficulty that will have you die on occasion

Fun Game Not one I would normally play but I wanted something different. Once you get the hang of the controls it's a blast to wade through hordes of Barbarians. The Special attacks are very graphic but also very cool. The price was right and I have really enjoyed playing
