When 300: March to Glory tries to sell the same tone the movie and comic held, it does so with mixed results.
300 of course fleshes out the lead-up to the conflict, but it also takes the already inspiring tale of human fortitude and cranks it up to near mythical proportions, turning Spartans into hypercapable warriors and the Persians into near-demonic beings. The real life event tells an Alamo-like tale of a group of 300 Spartan soldiers (and some Greeks that aren’t counted to make things seem more impressive) fighting in a doomed battle, their strategic position giving them the edge against the superior Persian force but the battle still being unwinnable due to the scale of the opposition. The story of 300: March to Glory follows the highly fictionalized take on the Battle of Thermopylae presented in both Frank Miller’s comic books and Zack Snyder’s movie adaptation of them, although it certainly leans more strongly towards the film and diverts at points in order to add more gameplay segments to a story with a rather small scope.
300 MARCH TO GLORY PSP COVER HOW TO
While this game certainly understood that gore and combat were integral parts to 300’s appeal, it still doesn’t seem to quite know how to capture the appeal of being one of the 300 Spartans. The over-the-top stylized violence already feels like a power trip just watching it from the theater seat, but curiously the only video game adaptation of it that exists is a PSP title by the name of 300: March to Glory. 300 is one of those films that seems perfect for a video game adaptation.
