When Tournament Of Legends was first announced (at the time it was known as Gladiator A.D.) there was a general level of excitement for the game; it was violent (see: very violent), it was set in an era that not many games had dared to explore, and the developers (High Voltage Software) were the talk of the hardcore gaming audience on the Wii, thanks to the recent success of The Conduit and the announcement of The Grinder. So where exactly did it all fall apart?

enjoy and discuss : )

I have enough crappy fighting games.....

"thanks to the recent success of The Conduit "

What? The Conduit was decried as a flop (even though it made money), and even Gladiator and The Grinder was losing excitement over that.

meant as successfull launch and reception

Still not true. It got decried over just selling 60 thousand copies the first week according to NPD, and reviews were mixed.

Meh, about what we all expected after it was renamed Tournament of Legends and budget priced. 

Actually I had no expectations for this even before as HVS has no experience doing fighters and after 20 years, fighters have become a fine art form.   Best left to the professionals.

Besides, even if this was a solid fighter (like TNMT) with Brawl and TvsC we already have two AAA fighters, there's hardly need for another, although a AAA 3D fighter might have found an audience.   There's quite a few 3D fighters on Wii but none are terribly good.  DBZBT3 probably being about the best.

Well you can't become an expert (they already are professionals, as they get paid for this) without practice, so the point is if they improve or not.

So Rage of the Gladiator is the much better joice, or aren't those two comparable?

Utterly shameless plug... I like your style

it may not be pretty but it works : p
