The scene that I absolutely cannot forget about this game, is when Sejanus reanimated Pollux as a zombie, and then Castor actively fighting him to keep him out of your way while you deal with Sejanus. I loved that fact that your allies were active fighters and not just "helping" through a cutscene or offscreen.
Dude, i love it so much aswell. Same reason why i fell in love with early dynasty warriors game. Seeing huge battles at the time was crazy. You had games like rome total war, age of empires and other rts to simulate massive battles but being part of it? Only spartan total warrior and dynasty warriors. My favorite scene was the charge at the 3rd mission. That part still gives me chills
@yesman9792 I was stuck on that barbarian boss fight for literally almost a year. Never played the game for several months after that until I decided to play it again and finally got him after a few tries. Wish they would remaster it.
I like the fact CA just went from this and said "fine, we will nail the total war genre" and did, but, I think when they have the time and resources they should revisit historical rpgs. this game was a shadow hit, not many knew about it but it ruled, gg, CA
It all got me really immersed when I was a kid playing it, I remember Sejanus (the guy who has his mouth lowkey covered in most angles and can bring people back from the dead n whatnot) was one of the coolest yet spookiest characters I had seen. The monsters didn't scare me much considering I was a huge fan of Aliens (The film as it was the first horror I saw) and Jurassic Park so I just found they looked really cool although the scariest boss for me would probably have to be the Minotaur or Crassus (I know, Crassus ain't that scary on his own but when ya heard Medusa scream in the distance it made the feeling more nightmare like)
Oh yes, its the very reason why I stopped playing for 3 months when I got to that part of campaign. I returned later with volume turned to 0 and ey, the game is finished.
Same. because of Hydra i would never finish the game and just start it all over with a new game. after some time I decided to mute the whole Hydra battle and it worked :D
@@agus_pax8796 he is a greek god they are known for being holding vengeance take Hera for example.she is known for taking vengeance on Zeus own children. Ares is no exception.
I loved this game and the fact that I'm Greek just made me more happy on how they got the mythology so accurate I just didn't like the constant mispronunciations but still love this game. My favorite was switching between weapons mid fight and plowing through enemies with the hammer.
Φιλε μολις ειδα αυτο το βιντεο στα προτεινομενα εβγαλα το ps4 αμεσως και εβαλα το ps2 απλα για να παιξω αυτο το παιχνιδι....Και να φανταστεις δν εχω καν memory card για ps2 και πρεπει καθε φορα να ξεκιναω απο την αρχη
Λίγο παράξενο το γεγονός ότι οι σπαρτιάτες πολεμούσαν την Ρωμαϊκή Αυτοκρατορία, την Μέδουσα και τον Μινώταυρο αλλά κατά τα άλλα ναι, ήταν παιχνιδάρα και εύχομαι πραγματικά να το κάναν remake και να το έφερναν και στο Steam. Το OST ήταν επίσης υποτιμημένο.
@@ShadowBoss99 At first, but it still gets really annoying especially when my friends played the game after I recommended it to them and they thought these pronunciations were correct
@@yeahboi9376 I've never played God of War or seen any gameplay of it, but I'm glad to have had this game in my childhood. The Swords of Athena are my favourite weapons. What are all your favourites?
@TDarkK that they were developed at the same time, in fact Spartan started earlier. God of war came out before but not nearly enough time happened for an entire game to be developed. They are completely different games, with different mechanics and plots
The Ps2 had such amount of variety of games. I keep recording games i have played, this , Maximo, I Ninja, Rygar, Fredoom Fighters, Primal ( the ps2 exculisve with the undead girl), Dogs Life. The ps2 was the prime of gaming for sure
Some music and sound effects also come from rome total war, like when you level up the spartan you hear the campaing victory track, or at 26:55 if I rememeber correctly one of the tracks you hear when defeated in battle
my cousin and I used to play this game together on gamecube. crazy how unrealistic it looks now (in comparison) but my memory of it was so realistic. still awesome tho
This game would have been released before God of War and I tell you the story would have been different, here it was who would release the game first, but for some mysterious reason that I will not understand is why they delayed launching this game
It was not at the same time, God of War was launched a month earlier, so it had more influence, I tell you that if this game had been launched a month earlier, the story would have been different, because no one can deny that this game has tremendous potential and For my personal opinion I like it much more thangod of war
Know that before I write this, STW is still my favourite game after so many years. That said… ‘Spartan: Total Warrior’ in a nutshell: The Spartan: “Let’s fight! [Blank Expression] Castor, Pollux, Electra: “👁👄👁” Leonidas: [Does nothing] “You’re all useless.” Sejanus: “Sajetiri!” [Runs away] Ares: “*Kill, and Kill again!*” Crassus: “I woz in Eastenders, I woz!” Wolverine: “Those berserkers stole my whole fuckin flow!”
I so wish they would remake this game, one of the first games I ever played and still remains one of my favorites. I still go back and play it sometimes.
So Ares plan was to use an empire to scoure Greece in order to take revenge on the son of the woman who revealed to the other gods his crime, to destroy his home by sending him to a quest that gave him the skill to kill him. Talk about a plan backfiring royaly.
i wanted to make a joke about how this game ripped off GoW2 with it's opening level involving spartans and a giant golden statue-like figure roaming the streets destroying sparta, but it turns our GOW2 came out 2 years after this did :/
Nem jogava esse jogo tanto pela ação, eu sempre gostei de me imaginar como um lider militar nos jogos, e eu adorei esse jogo porque tem soldados e tal, pena que lá pelo final os unicos companheiros seu são os outros protagonistas e quase n tem mais soldados do seu lado, me alembro que depois que zerei eu viciei no modo arena/coloseu desse jogo, preciso realmente joga-lo denovo qualquer dia desses keke
I admire the fact you played regularly for all bosses until you reached Ares then unleashed Spartan mode and completely wiped the floor with him, very good stuff @allaboutbossfights6055
that is the most horrifying looking design for a hydra i have ever seen. it looks like a Predator and a Graboid had a bunch of squirmy mutant hybrid babies
I loved this Game and it was 1 of my Favorite ones. Way ahead from mostly all other Games of there Time^^ Was nice to watch thx for the thinking at my old Times :D
Still remains one of my favorite games of all time, I wish they would remake it
yeah

Yes!
I was very young when I first played Spartan Total Warrior. And the Hydra gave me nightmares worse than the ones I have now.

I have to admit the plot twist of being the son of the goddess of love's hand maid was a massive twist.i love this game
Yeah.. but like, he didn't do anything wrong. Idk why Ares wanted to kill him so bad.

But also let’s us not forget that they’re so evil too like what did Athena did to Medusa for example
The soldiers have different names
Very nice detail

Awesome game. The boss fights were great too. No quick timed button stuff

I appreciated how creative they are making this than our game now that almost all things look like plagiarized from somewhere.
This game is literally the same that all other ps2 games
@TDarkK this game was in development way before god of war.
TDarkK "in development" doesn't mean "out on the market" you dumbshit
@TDarkK they came out in the same year. Not a copy at all, I can tell you didn't play it
@TDarkK that they were developed at the same time, in fact Spartan started earlier. God of war came out before but not nearly enough time happened for an entire game to be developed. They are completely different games, with different mechanics and plots

Till this day I still have the very Ps2 I love, ever since I was little, and still play this game, and Jak and Daxter, Vexx, Clone Wars and Jak X.
this is not just a game this a masterpiece ❤️❤️❤️
Giga chad profile name. Also this game is a masterpiece indeed
I used to adore this game as a kid. Seeing these giant battles was so cool back in the day. 40:04 I remember being stuck on Ares for ages.
Kinda funny now that I realize that the models for the various soldiers are similar or identical to the ones in rome total war.
Some music and sound effects also come from rome total war, like when you level up the spartan you hear the campaing victory track, or at 26:55 if I rememeber correctly one of the tracks you hear when defeated in battle
@@darklordofthesithtulakhord3037 Thats all because this game was made by Creative Assembly who in turn made RTW
26:59 That counter was sooo clean
my cousin and I used to play this game together on gamecube. crazy how unrealistic it looks now (in comparison) but my memory of it was so realistic. still awesome tho
The voice acting just peak quality.
Greek Mythology is my favorite kind of mythical culture out of the others. You can thank the God of War series for that.
Funny, this game was developed before all those games. Though, God of War was released first.
This game would have been released before God of War and I tell you the story would have been different, here it was who would release the game first, but for some mysterious reason that I will not understand is why they delayed launching this game
Sejanus was by far the coolest character in the game. I wish they remade this on steam
Maaaaaan!!!, such an INTENSE gaming experience!! Not everytime you get that feel from a game
Great Cinematics, Great Bosses, Great OST, Great Video, Great Quality and Legendary Game
This game is basically what playing as one of the generals in the total war games would feel like.
Thanks for the vid, even though I wrote most of the gamecube code, I've only played up to Hydra and once played the Minotaur ;)
🎮🇮🇶God, in the old days, this is a game that I finished 4 times, and I sold a PlayStation 2, and I bought a PlayStation 4, your brother from Iraq
This game, spiderman 2000, and goldeneye had the best soundtracks ever made. This being the top
Damn this game was my childhood
Love the music in this game.
I loved this game. I played it again and again about 50 times
The way the cutscenes slowed down as rhey end is such a 2000s aesthetic
Played this when I was young and I've spent the longest time finding it again and now I have.
This game was AMAZING.
So sad God of War launched at the same time, took all the attention to it and Spartan stayed in its shadow :/
True
It was not at the same time, God of War was launched a month earlier, so it had more influence, I tell you that if this game had been launched a month earlier, the story would have been different, because no one can deny that this game has tremendous potential and For my personal opinion I like it much more thangod of war
This game was the shit when I was younger.
>Mission 1: defend sparta
>Final Mission: kill god
Todavía tengo muy buenos recuerdos de este juego , mi favorito de PS2
0:00 TALOS REMINDS ME OF THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES OF GOD OF WAR 2
Turn off caps lock
That Hydra was scary
They need to remake this masterpiece!🙌🏻
Anyone shocked that this game was rated M when it didn't look like its that violent when they first played this game?
Know that before I write this, STW is still my favourite game after so many years. That said…
‘Spartan: Total Warrior’ in a nutshell:
The Spartan: “Let’s fight! [Blank Expression]
Castor, Pollux, Electra: “👁👄👁”
Leonidas: [Does nothing] “You’re all useless.”
Sejanus: “Sajetiri!” [Runs away]
Ares: “*Kill, and Kill again!*”
Crassus: “I woz in Eastenders, I woz!”
Wolverine: “Those berserkers stole my whole fuckin flow!”
Kratos if he had hair and didn't pray to Ares while on the edge of death:
Really love the design on the minotaur and Ares looks metal AF
I can still feel the Excitement when watching you play this game. That’s how good the game is
Favorite game with cool soundtrack, and complex story with challenging boss
Masterpiece through and through
THIS is a real underrated game
36:05 the timing with the song was awesome
Jason isaacs, THE BEST VILLAIN IN ANY MOVIE...was sejanus. I love that. This game rocked so much.
I'm so glad time has been good to this game. Loved this
I so wish they would remake this game, one of the first games I ever played and still remains one of my favorites. I still go back and play it sometimes.
I missed playing that game in the PS2
Nostalgia. I played this when i was 5 year old and 6 .
That metal giant is Talos an ancient machine created by Hephaestus.
Minotaur: *exists*
Romans and Spartans: *ganks the minotaur*
26:50 can hear it
5:37
Wombo combo
So Ares plan was to use an empire to scoure Greece in order to take revenge on the son of the woman who revealed to the other gods his crime, to destroy his home by sending him to a quest that gave him the skill to kill him. Talk about a plan backfiring royaly.
But thats sounds mythologically! Like a myths about Trojan war and other situations, when gods tried to play with some peoples and their lifes.
i hope they will do remaster of this game . the best war games i have ever played
I like the Totalwar saga but for real tho Creative Assembly should have capitalized more on this, the game was perfect for a full saga.
real game, so much memories
i wanted to make a joke about how this game ripped off GoW2 with it's opening level involving spartans and a giant golden statue-like figure roaming the streets destroying sparta, but it turns our GOW2 came out 2 years after this did :/
Isso é mais que um jogo , todo mundo que se diz gamer se não jogou , tem que jogar ele pelo menos 1x na vida

Nostalgia 😭
5:15 the call of the spartan, godddd that fuuu music brought out the spartan in me!! xD
Legendary Game
I never noticed the graphics... Little me just enjoyed the game
I don't have a problem with the graphics if it is this good
Same honestly i don't even remember the dialogs i just remember loving the game
I like how Crassus is Australian
the typical american perspective where all romans are british and the greeks are americans lol
Steampunk/Gothic Roman needs to make a return as a design aesthetic.
It looks like GOW, this is first time seeing this
Yeah but this is better though.
Need Spartan total warrior remake or new spartan total warrior 2
suddenly a video about a game I played once in my entire life many years ago appears in my youtube recommendations...
I hope this Games gets a remake. its epic how good it is when i play this as a child and my father too.
Aww kratos ya tiene un nuevo mejor amigo que compartes los mismos gustos y pasatiempos :v
I bought , played this game, and it disappeared one day. But i had totally forgotten the name of this game for over a decade , until now!
The hydras design used to scare me a little when I was a kid
16:04 Watch out ! Its Sand Hydra from The House Of The Dead 2 ! Reload Reload !
Damn
I swear to god this game looked hyper realistic when I played it when I was a kid haha
i remember it as the first 3d game with these numbers of troops while not being a strtegy game
for it`s day this game was very complex a great game for the ps2
Me and my brother used to let the big battles play out and watch our Spartans fight on their own
Woah I didn't know this, even though it's an old graphics it still amazing. This reminds me GOW 1 damn.
I admire the fact you played regularly for all bosses until you reached Ares then unleashed Spartan mode and completely wiped the floor with him, very good stuff @allaboutbossfights6055
I always wanted to play this game. It would be cool to see it get a remaster.
*Me as a 7 year* "You can block and roll in this game?!
Somehow managed to win this game multiple times and never knew you could do those lol
I fell so sad when spartan soldiers dies 😭
I remember the hydra fighting being a lot cooler. Now that I look at it now, it looks slow and repetetive
Youve experienced/seen better by now. Vs when you were young and not worried about critiquing everything.
@@elijahnakumura4375 It's still an awesome game though.
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475 oh no doubt. I play it all the time on emulator
Fun fact: the main hydra head looks different on gamecube and playstation 2 versions of the game. This is the gamecube head.
Seems like GoW 1 in The Spartans perspective, the Regular spartans i mean :p
I'd always watch my older brothers play the hell out this game much simpler times
this game has very good boss battle , used to replay this game back then
that is the most horrifying looking design for a hydra i have ever seen. it looks like a Predator and a Graboid had a bunch of squirmy mutant hybrid babies
Honestly don't remember any boss but the last one. This game was SO good. I was like 10, knew no English, but damn, still enjoyed the shit out of it
Nemesis is definitely my fave fight I'd say
This game was the shit man. The music, the story and satisfying combat. This game and Resident Evil 4 were me and my brothers favorites
One of my greatest game of all time
My favorite PS2 game of all time, definitely should be working on a remake
I love you Spartan ❤️
I loved this Game and it was 1 of my Favorite ones. Way ahead from mostly all other Games of there Time^^ Was nice to watch thx for the thinking at my old Times :D
