I love that there is a Campaign also, on top of the sandbox options that give it a great replayability!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics - I have not seen much in the way of graphics improvement from when I started playing, but I'm convinced that the art style, use of shadows and textures has done the environment justice, and really made my inner nerd take on the role of Gladiator.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
6 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer chariot races would also be great, maybe make it so you cant use weapons until completing a lap.
