To copy things from a 17 year old game is not imaginative but whatever, fine, but to do it to a lower standard is just sloppy.
I have no problem with a company using places again, especially when it is just a place to fight enemies. The Coliseum is not very important but cool enough with the Victory Fanfare so I like it and The Last Hunter is used in the Coliseum.
