The Spartans with General Leonidas at commmand look almost, if not exactly, the same as the Spartan Hoplites in Rome: Total War. Spartan Hoplites are the most powerful troops Sparta and the entire Greek Cities can have.
The fight was so good and bloody! I almost felt the blood coming out of the screen. They fought in phalanx formation and in individuals feats. They had their spears, swords, and the enormous shields that kept them safe in the arrow shower.
One thing that I was amazed with is that the Persian Empire had certain unique soldiers with early bombs! Obviously these bombs didn't blow the Spartans away, as the bombs were not that powerful to have a big range impact.
300 was awesome! You should really see it! When I was watching I remembered the minutes that I spent conquering Sparta with those Spartan Hoplites. They really gave me a hard time dealing with. After all, Spartans' profession is to be a fighter from the day they are born until the day they die fighting for their country.
