worried about gladius
I pre ordered this game, but there seems to be alot of negative opinions, and comments like, "great concept, poor implementing".
Is the game that bad? Should I cancel? I'm especially interested in the opinons of people who tried the demo.

Considering that the demo is an earlier build than the final game, it's hard to say. It's a tactical RPG with "twich" elements...so it may alienate both arcade and strategy type players. There is a demo on both Xbox and Gamecube now...perhaps you should give one of them a try and see for yourself?

If you're up for a deep, long-lasting, strategic gaming experience, then Gladius is perfect for you. Once you've played it for many hours, you'll spot little things about it that could have been fleshed out or polished up. However, at the heart of this game is an interesting and well-thought-out combat system, and there are so many viable combinations of characters and skills to experiment with that this game could easily keep you busy for much longer than most games do these days. The swing meters also add a refreshing bit of action to an otherwise fairly static style of gaming, which makes Gladius not just a great game but, in certain ways, a pioneering one.
