The Spartan’s Journey
300 BC - ANCIENT GREECE
Abandoned in the ancient City of Sparta as a child, the unnamed Spartan
was raised in the training camps of the warrior people.
Befriended by the twins; Castor and Pollux; and led by the great King
Leonidas, the Spartan, quickly proves himself worthy of his allies as a true
warrior and a fearless hero.
A hero that his homeland desperately needs.
Only the City of Sparta remains defiant against the Roman Empire's
merciless invasion of the free world.
The Spartan's desire to save his home will take him on a journey to find the
answers to his birth, his past, and his destiny. Visited by Greek Gods he
discovers the true power within him. He is
commanded to fight the
invading Roman forces
and, guided by the
Gods, he embarks on
an epic quest that
takes him across many
lands, right to the heart
of the Roman Empire.
This is the journey of the Spartan –
born a warrior, destined to become
a Legend.

Playing the Game
DURING THE GAME
During the game pressing the Start button pauses the game and brings up the
in-game menu with the choices Command List, Options or Exit Game.
If you select Exit Game you will be taken back to the main menu, and if you
have crossed any checkpoints you will be given the opportunity to save from
the last checkpoint.
If you select Options you will be presented with the in-game options where you
can customise your preferences.
LOAD GAME
Load a previously saved story mode game. See Saving & Loading on page 7.
ARENA CHALLENGE
The Arena Challenge is an additional game mode that casts the Spartan into
an arena with various enemies. Each round is progressively more difficult than
the last.
Select the arena location and which enemies are to be faced there, and then
choose which unlocked power ups you want enabled in the arena.
During the Story Mode or level replays you can find arena power ups, which you
can then enable in the arenas. Look out for all sorts of cool things including
bombs, weapons, squads of allies, and even a friendly giant.
As you progress through the Story Mode more arenas will be unlocked. The top
arena survivors can enter their highest scores in the High Score table.
How long can you stand up to the challenge?
SINGLE MISSION REPLAY
Here you can select any level completed in the game to play as a stand-alone
mission. As you complete each level in Story Mode, it will be unlocked here.
OPTIONS
The options screen allows you to customize various aspects of the game to suit
your preferences.
These include audio settings, screen position and camera inversion.
You can also turn on or off in-game settings, such as subtitles, tutorial, and the
controller's vibration function.
EXTRAS
Discover the secrets hidden in the game to unlock extras and bonuses.
Whilst playing the story mode you pass checkpoints, which become your restart
points if you die or otherwise fail a mission. If you exit the game, you will be
offered the chance to save from the last checkpoint.
You may restart the game at that checkpoint later by selecting Load Game from
the main menu.
Battle Tactics
It is essential to master all of the controls in Spartan: Total Warrior™≤≥.
One of the most important aspects of the combat is the shield – this cannot be
overstated.
As well as protecting the Spartan from attack, the shield can be used offensively
to knock back attackers, either by using the raise shield and single attack
buttons (
W + S) to hit a single enemy, or the raise shield and radial attack
buttons (
W + A) to clear a space in the crowd. This allows the Spartan to
take control of the battle, and steer it his way.
The Spartan also has a range of weapons and attacks
that must be deployed strategically throughout
the game.
Keep an eye on the enemies’ tactics and help
allies in trouble, because keeping them alive
may just win you the battle.
The outcome of the war, however,
is up to you.
