Colosseum: Road to Freedom (originally Gladiator: Road to Freedom in Japan) is a video game for the Sony PlayStation 2 console. It is a hybrid fighting/RPG game loosely based on the Roman Empire around the time of the Emperor Commodus. Colosseum: Road to Freedom has the player take on the role of a slave that must partake gladiatorial games in order to earn enough to purchase his freedom. The majority of the game is spent training your character and fighting in arena battles. The story in Colosseum takes a backseat in order to allow a higher degree of open-ended gameplay.
Players have the freedom to tailor their game avatar to their liking depending on how they answer Magerius' questions in the beginning. Depending on your performance, it is possible to pay off your debts and still remain a freeman gladiator. The game allows for multiple endings depending on the player's performance over its course.
