Chariot Racing


Quick pat on my back for finally being the first poster on something. Onto the board!
Who else thinks that parts of this game, chariot racing for example, is just too difficult? Perhaps I suck at chariot racing but it took me about 25 times of playing the first chariot level before I beat it.
Other than that, this game is awesome. Makes me want to go out and buy a toga. Anybody else have any problems with this?

If I am remembering the level correctly, you have to strangle two guards and then climb up on the bookshelf to get to the big meeting.

Yes I had trouble with the first chariot race, I managed to do it on my 8th try. Funny enough I did the rest of them on my 1st try. (all with Silver award)

I love the game on the whole but the sneaking around bits are for the most part tedious.

7/10
(would be 8 if we had less sneaking)

The Chariot I had no problem with the only level that gave me grif was the first time they forced a 20k salvo point thing. Now I am stuck on a sneaking scene while two sets of guards stare at eachother so I have to call them to get bhind one of them .. This level is pissing me off lol

The chariot races just took some getting used to. If you manage to ram a few into the wall then they stop and have to re-whip their horses back up to speed. This is the key to winning the last chariot race. also during the time between the turns make sure to wittle his health down so you can kick his ass on the last lap.

Actually almost everything in the game seemed impossible. I was only able to do the Octavious portions, most of them anyway, with a walkthrough. I hated the sneaking missions. And the later gladiator portions, specifically the final chariot-race and the time-limit tiger fight (how do you get away from the tigers when they start to eat you? All I could do was let them chew), were impossible for me without extreme cheating. And even with the codes it took me at least 15 tries to do anything.

Also who are the spirits with girls peacock feathers? They act supernaturaly but seem to be thought of as real people.
