Gamesplanet.be interviews Sophie (kali) Blakemore, designer at Creative Assembly, regarding Spartan - Total Warrior.

Here's a snip:
What sort of game is Spartan?
Spartan: Total Warrior partially fits into the action-adventure category; however, we feel it defines a new genre to encompass the USP of the game – Epic Combat. Basically, this is a game that features many versus many combat. The player is forced to think tactically and strategically about which allies to stick with, which enemies to target first, how to progress through the levels and ultimately, how best to defeat the hordes of adversaries in the game. You shape the battle around you – you are the Total Warrior.
